हिन्दी
ढूंढने से नहीं मिलता वह
जिसे मैं भोंकना चाहता हूं
यह भाला
दिखता है अक्सर दर्पण में
करता हूं वार मगर
टूट जाता है दर्पण
वह छूट जाता है
मैं फिर ढूंढता हूं उसे।
English
He cannot be found by searching,
the one I want to drive
this spear into.
I often see him in the mirror.
I strike, but
the mirror breaks,
he slips away,
and I search for him again.
