KALIPADA MUKHERJEE
(Translated from the original Bengali poem by the Author)
Those who are in tears to-day, shall again be in joy.
Lord God shall fill their mouth with laughing,
and their tongue with sweet singing.
That they pass these dismal nights sitting up, will not be in vain.
For the hearts that are drooping to-day from grief, shall again be
freshened with the sprinkling of nectar.
The rule of the wicked is not for long on the righteous.
The Lord with His own hands shall wield the sceptre,
and shall make them fair and free again on the coming of
His own morn.
To-day, towards that great dawn people look, and wait for it with
tears in their eyes.
–Reprinted from Triveni, Dec. 1943
