What to do of them? Poetry by Murlidhar Translated by Jam Jamali

WHAT TO DO OF THEM?

Love, affection and beauty,

revelries, comforts and luxuries,

all are sources of enjoyment.

Indigence, poverty and pauperness,

hunger, misery and unemployment,

all these are calamities.

Bony skeletal,

untreated sick souls,

and   undressed kids,

are all realities.

Your fascination and fidelity,

elegance and affection

are spellbindingly attractive.

But,

o beloved!

there are bony skeletal,

bare bodied children,

miserable mothers,

and

uncured poor patients!

what to do of them ?
