Bola Bola Pakhaharu - Meena Niraula

बोल ! बोल ! पाखाहरू
हिउँ फुल्ने काखहरू
किन होला हिजोआज
बाटो छेक्छन् आँखाहरू

बतासमा उडी जान पाए पनि हुन्थ्यो
बादलको घुम्टोभित्र लुक्न पाए हुन्थ्यो
आफू हुन्छु एकातिर, अन्तै जान्छ मन 
नौलो लाग्छ किन आज आफ्नै रनवन?

पैँचो मागूँजस्तो लाग्छ गुराँसको लाली
कहिलेदेखि आयो ममा लाज लाग्ने बानी ?
के हुन हो हिजो–आज झन्झनाउँछ तन
बितेछ कि भन साथी मेरो बालापन ?

Bola ! Bola ! Pakhaharu
Hiu phulne kakhaharu
Kina hola hijo aaja
Bato chhekchhan aankhaharu

Batasma udi jana pae pani hunthyo
Badalko ghumtobhitra lukna pae hunthyo
Aaphu hunchhu ekatir, antai janchha mana 
Naulo lagchha kina aaja aaphnai ranawana?

Paincho magunjasto lagchha guransako lali
Kahiledekhi aayo mama laj lagne bani ?
Ke huna ho hijo–aaja jhanjhanaunchha tana
Bitechha ki bhana sathi mero balapana ?

Speak you cliffs
Speak you snow-blossom crannies
I don’t know why so many eyes
Come to obstruct my ways these days

I wish I could fly away with the wind
Wish I could hide behind the cloud veil

I am here but my attention elsewhere
Why is my life like I have only of it known

I keep wanting to borrow the Rhododendron red
Since when did it arise a habit to shy away

What may unfold next these days
My heart speeds up its pace
My friend has my innocence
Already passed its age
