PEGHAM E SINDH

I feel extremely thirsty!

(Dr. Manjhi's Poetry On The Labour Day )

Poetry By: Dr. Muhammad Ali Manjhi

Translated by: Professor Muhammad Hashim Solangi 

The day is hot sizzling,

the hot winds are blowing

As if the rains of embers were falling

The eyes of crow are ejecting out

At such time those who were burnt

-those who were burnt on the hill

A prime beauty, the maiden girl

Takes out stone with a hoe, the tool

Makes use of the wooden shovel

The breast that she were to her baby

That she were to her baby display

 She were to lift her on her armpit, 

These breasts go on convulsing,

By using the shovel, go convulsing!

The hands they need coloured

They need henna to be colored

O see the sores on these hands

And says, 'I feel extremely thirsty!' 

And says,' I feel extremely thirsty!'
