(Translated from the Hindi by Rahul Soni)
Sir, hear me out
before you go
The Patliputra
you and I
are fighting for
is in the eyes of others
a fiction
Do you hear?
For them it’s not even worth
a moment’s thought
They ask,
What Patliputra?
Sir! You have to
answer them,
make them understand—
this is the same Patliputra
for which
Ajatashatru, Bimbisara,
Chandragupta,
you and I
are fighting
Did you tell them?
Sir,
did you hear their retort?
“Fools
fighting for a fiction”
