Translation

मैं अकेला;

I am alone;

देखता हूँ, आ रही

I see, the evening of my life is approaching.

मेरे दिवस की सांध्य वेला।

Half of my hair has turned white,

पके आधे बाल मेरे,

My cheeks have become dull,

हुए निष्प्रभ गाल मेरे,

My pace is slowing down,

चाल मेरी मंद होती आ रही,

The crowd is dispersing.

हट रहा मेला।

I know, the rivers and streams,

जानता हूँ, नदी-झरने,

That I had to cross,

जो मुझे थे पार करने,

I have crossed them, smiling at this,

कर चुका हूँ, हँस रहा यह देख,

No one is left with me.

कोई नहीं भेला।1

Explanation

This poem by Suryakant Tripathi Nirala reflects on the themes of solitude and the passage of time. The poet describes himself as alone, observing the evening of his life approaching. He uses vivid imagery to convey the signs of aging, such as graying hair and a slowing pace. The metaphor of the 'fair dispersing' suggests the end of vibrant life activities. The poet acknowledges that he has crossed the metaphorical rivers and streams of life's challenges, and now finds himself laughing at the realization that no one remains with him. This introspective piece captures a sense of acceptance and reflection on life's journey.
