wiped out by the pandemic
countries mask themselves
flights languishing on the grounds
world captive within borders.

आज, कल की यादों से लड़ रही थी मैं,
आने वाले कल की परेशानियों को भी ,आज जी रही थी
कल और कल के इस कश्मकश में,
मै आज को जीना ही भूल गयी .
Today, I fought with yesterday’s memories ,
and am living tomorrow’s worries also.
In the tussle between yesterday and tomorrow,
I forgot to live today.
Unannounced attack
invisible enemy
global pandemic
an uphill battle
animated deeds of grace
unified efforts
buoyant humankind
ushers promise of new dawn
renewal of hope
