Dukheko Mutulai - Bhim Birag

दुखेको मुटुलाई छाँट्नै नमिल्ने रैछ
अरूको खुशीसँग साट्नै नमिल्ने रैछ

ओठहरू हाँस्न खोज्दा आँखाहरू रोइदिन्छन्
आफैंले आफैंलाई ढाँट्नै नमिल्ने रैछ

जहाँ चोट पर्छ त्यहाँ दुख्नु स्वाभाविकै हो
नदुख्ने गरी जीवन काट्नै नमिल्ने रैछ

एक्लो आफूमा सबै तर भीड यस्तो यहाँ
अरूलाई नकुल्चेसम्म टेक्नै नमिल्ने रैछ

वरदान पाउन सबले अरूकै बलि चढाउँछन्
रेटेर आफ्नै गर्दन पुज्नै नमिल्ने रैछ

Dukheko mutulai chhantnai namilne raichha
Aruko khushisanga satnai namilne raichha

Othaharu hansna khojda aankhaharu roidinchhan
Aaphaile aaphailai dhantnai namilne raichha

Jaha chot parchha tyaha dukhnu swabhawikai ho
Nadukhne gari jeevan katnai namilne raichha

Eklo aaphuma sabai tara bhid yasto yaha
Arulai nakulchesamma teknai namilne raichha

Waradana pauna sable arukai bali chadhaunchhan
Retera aaphnai gardana pujnai namilne raichha

One cannot trim an aching heart out
Cannot exchange it with other’s joy

When lips try to smile
Tears start rolling down the eyes
One cannot but to oneself tell any lie

Pain is natural where there’s a wound
It’s but impossible to spend a lifetime
Without a pain running through

The self remains alone here
Though surrounded by the crowd
One cannot even step on the ground
Without stepping on others around

Each one sacrifices the other
To receive blessing for their self
But it is not possible to slit at all
One’s own throat as a ritual offer
