Translated Poem : An Age has Passed

~Bhim Darshan Rokka~
Translation : Maya Watson

An age has passed since leaving home
journeying, a traveller alone
I am walking, my friend!
Walking away from the beginning, toward an end unknown.
An age has passed…

Every morning I set out to walk
and every evening I light the stars
when every day ends the same way
Why does it make me so afraid?
An age has passed…

When as I go, wherever I stay
feels like my house to me
if I were to retrace to my steps tomorrow
how would I know my home?
An age has passed…
