Euta Khulla Kitab - Meena Niraula

एउटा खुल्ला किताब हुँ म
तिमीले पनि पढे हुन्छ
अरूले जस्तै पढेपछि
पन्नाहरू च्याते हुन्छ

बेमौकाको बादलसरि कतिचोटि फाटिदिएँ
जसले मलाई बुझेँ भन्थ्यो उसकै पनि उपहास पाएँ
एउटा खुल्ला चिठी हुँ म तिमीले पनि पढे हुन्छ
अरूले जस्तै पढेपछि बेकार सम्झी फाले हुन्छ

निष्ठुरीको आस्थाबाट कतिचोटि टुक्रीसकेँ
जसले मलाई सब थोक ठान्थ्यो उसकै पनि म रेत भएँ
एउटा सादा कागज हुँ म तिमीले पनि लेखे हुन्छ
अरूले जस्तै लेखेपछि अनर्थ सम्झी मेटे हुन्छ

Euta khulla kitab hu ma
Timile pani padhe hunchha
Arule jastai padhepachhi
Pannaharu chyate hunchha

Bemaukako badalasari katichoti phatidie
Jasle malai bujhe bhanthyo usakai pani upahas pae
Euta khulla chithi hu ma timile pani padhe hunchha
Arule jastai padhepachhi bekar samjhi phale hunchha

Nishthuriko aasthabata katichoti tukrisake
Jasle malai sab thok thanthyo usakai pani ma ret bhae
Euta sada kagaj hu ma timile pani lekhe hunchha
Arule jastai lekhepachhi anartha samjhi mete hunchha

I am an open book, you may also read me
As many before, its pages you may tear me

I split open many times, like unwilling clouds
The one who said he knew me well
Only to discard me with his filthy hate
I am an open letter, you may also read me
As many before, like rubbish you may throw me

Countless times have I broken to pieces
From my faith to such heartless souls
Even to whom I used to be everything before
I have now become a dry abandoned desert

I am a white empty paper, you may write on it
As many before, call it worthless and erase me
