ಹೊತ್ತಿಹ ನೊಗದ
ಭಾರಕೆ
ನಲುಗಿದೆ ದೇಹ,
ಮಿಡಿದಿದೆ ಮನವು
ನಿಡಿದಾದ ನಿಟ್ಟುಸಿರು.
ಕ್ರಮಿಸಬೇಕಿಗಿದೆ ಇನ್ನೂ
ಕಾಯಕದ ಹಾದಿ.
ತಪ್ಪುವ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಗೊಂದು
ಧಣಿಯ ಚಾಟಿಯ
ಸ್ಮರಣಿಕೆ.
ಕೊಟ್ಟಿಹೆನು ಕತ್ತನು,
ನೊಗಕೆ,
ಮುಂದಿದೆ ಬದುಕಿನ
ಕಾಯಕದ ಹಾದಿಯು.
ದಣಿಯದಿರಲಿ ದೇಹ,
ಮನಸ್ಸು ,
ತಪ್ಪದಿರಲಿ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ,
ಸವೆಯದಿರಲಿ ಹಾದಿ..
ಸಾಗಿರಲಿ ಕಾಯಕ
ಬದುಕು ಮುಗಿವ ತನಕ.
ದಣಿದು ಸೋತ ದಿನ
ಜೀವನವು ಬಹು ಭಾರ
ಬಲು ಘೋರ..
“ಜೀವನದ ಓಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಗೆಲ್ಲುವ ಎತ್ತು ಕೊಟ್ಟಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ, ಸೋತ ಎತ್ತಿನ ಜೀವ ಕಟುಕನ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿ.”
Stay tuned, Until life is over.
I’m carrying
the yoke,
Because of the
burden the body is
tired and
mind sighed..
There is still much work
to be done.
work is worship..
I gave the neck to
the yoke
The road to life is
ahead of me.
Don’t let the body
and mind get tired..
Don’t let my steps
go wrong
Every wrong step
will be rewarded
by Whiplash..
Don’t let the
way to end,
Stay tuned
Until life is over.
That life of a
tired day life
can be too heavy
And painful..
Kamala Belagur.
“In the race of life, the life of winning bull is in the shelter, The life of the lost bull in the hands of the butcher.”
In the race of life
The winning bull is in the barn,
The life of the lost bull
In the hands of the butcher.
It’s an irony..
