The Clock
Tower summary | The Clock Tower by Bhupi Serchan in Nepali
|
Some
worn off Other
distributed among kith and kin One
by one All
the old military outfits are gone |
कुनै फाटेर कुनै मुसाले काटे कुनै छोरा-नाति एक-एक गरी फौजका सब पुराना जर्सी सिद्धिए । |
|
But
jealously guarding cherished souvenirs Of
army life -- An
old - modelled, large, round pocket watch Hanging
from the neck, And
an ancient hat on the head-- |
तर जतनसाथ बचाइराखेको फौजी जीवनका दुइटा प्रिय चिन्ह एउटा पुरानो डिजाइनको ठुलो-गोलो जेबघडी छातीमा झुन्ड्याएर, अनि एउटा पुरानो टोप शिरमा लाएर |
|
Like
a pensioned senior vet Who
must pass long, sad days of old age. Having
cast bait into Ranipokhari Standing
forever on its bank, |
माछा मार्ने निहूँले बुढेसकालमा
लामा र दिक्दारे दिन बिताउने एउटा पेन्सिनवाला बूढो लाहुरेझैं रानी पोखरीमा बल्छी हालेर |
|
Ghantaghar,
the Clock Tower, Broods, |
तटमा उभिएर निरन्तर झोक्रिरहेछ
घण्टाघर । |
