Translated Poem : Seeing Nepal

~Bhim Darshan Rokka~
Translation : Maya Watson

Seeing Nepal it seems familiar
in the morning its seems somewhere I’ve stepped in this courtyard before
in my heart it seems
I’ve met this place in dreams,

Seeing Nepal it seems
A song has been sung from the ridge tops,
a path has wound down from the slopes,
in my heart it seems at last the sweat of foreign lands has been wiped clean.

Seeing Nepal it seems
walking and walking at last I’ve reached the end,
come to the house I abandoned at dawn,
and how will I be able to go?It seems these Himalayas have blocked the road.
