Raatko Sapana - Aavaas

रातको सपना बाँकी हुन्न बिहानीमा उठ्दा
जुनीभरि जुत्ता भइयो खाली रह्यो खुट्टा

उकालीमा उक्ल्यौ कति देउरालीमा कति
फेरि पनि तिम्रो खुट्टा हाम्रै शीरमाथि
यो मन फाटे के भो हजूर जुत्ता फाट्नु हुन्न
जुत्ता फाटे के भो हजूर बाटो काट्नु हुन्न

चोखो भयो जुत्ता हाम्रो हामी अझै जूठै
सुन–पानी अछुत हामी तिमी भने चोखै
जुत्ता जस्तो जुनी हजूर कहिले फेरिएला
हामीलाई पनि मान्छे भनी कहिले हेरिएला

Raatko sapana baki hunna bihanima uthda
Junibhari jutta bhaiyo khali rahyo khutta

Ukalima uklyau kati deuralima kati
Pheri pani timro khutta hamrai shiramathi
Yo mana phate ke bho hajur jutta phatnu hunna
Jutta phate ke bho hajur bato katnu hunna

Chokho bhayo jutta hamro hami ajhai juthai
Sun–pani achhut hami timi bhane chokhai
Jutta jasto juni hajur kahile pheriela
Hamilai pani manchhe bhani kahile heriela

The dreams of the night do not remain
When I wake up to the morning light
I lived like a shoe in this lifetime
But my feet remained bare all my life

You climbed many mountains and passes
Yet your feet stands on top of our heads
What does it matter if this heart breaks
But the shoes must never be pulled apart
What does it matter if the shoes get torn
But we must never ever cross your path

To you the shoes we make are pure
But we who make it you call impure
We are but the soonpani untouchables
But you always remain as touchable
When will our life like a shoe be replaced
When will we like a human be placed
