Andhere Ka Prakash (Title of Poem)

Andhere ke baad vo kehte hain ki savera hai (It is usually said that every dark night has a morning)
Fir bhi vighano ne ghera hai (Still, I am surrounded by difficulties)
Sooraj ki kirano ka intezaar karu, (Shall I wait for the rays of the sun)
Ya andhero ki kaalik mein main apni roshni khud dhoondhoo (Or shall I search for my light in this blackness of dark night)

Andhero mein manzil kuch dikhaai nahi deti, (I cannot see my destination in this darkness)
Raah fir bhi chalti dikhti hai, (I can still see the path though)
Main suraj ki kirano k sahaare ka intezaar karu, (Shall I wait for the support of the sunlight)
Ya raaho ka ban hamsafar, main apni roshni khud banu? (Or shall I keep moving on the path and become my own inspirational light)

Senkado mishrit vichaaro ke jamghat hain, (My mind has millions of mixed thoughts)
Lamho ke beetne ki ahat sunaai deti hai (I can hear the sound of ending time)
Main lamho k guzarne ka intezaar karu, (Shall I wait for this time to end)
Ya “waqt”k ujaale se pahle main apna roshan deepak khud banu (Or shall I become my own guiding lamp before the dark night to end)

-Siddharth Sijoria (Poet)

English Translation (by Poet)

Between the dusk and dawn

Light would follow this night,
but waves of confusions rise and fall in my mind,
Should I wait believing the Sun would guide,
Or fight this dark with the strength of my own light?

The dark obscure the sight of my destination,
But still, I see the path leading to it,
Should I wait for the dawn of light,
Or start walking upon this path I see?

Countless thoughts occupy my mind,
I can hear the sound of the escaping time,
Should I let these moments pass,
Or be my own guiding lamp in the blinding dark?
