Self translation of my Poem "Meri Raah"


My Path


Neither I am here, nor there
Neither I belong to you nor to  anyone else
Neither I belong to this group nor that group
Neither I hate anyone, nor attached to anyone 
Neither I believe in this monastery, nor that shrine
Neither I believe this God or that God, nor I am atheist


I  live with everyone but remain aloof
I am neither tagged as  Hindu nor Muslim,
I am neither  tagged as Christian or  Buddhist or Sikh
I am only a human being believing  in humanity

If I am able to wipe a tear of someone
Be able to bring joy to someone's lips
That’s more than enough for me
That's my goal, that's my destination

This is the  path chosen by me
If you can, be my companion
Otherwise I am contended to be
the lonely traveller on my path


Vinod Passy “Hanskamal”
