രക്ഷകൻ

സിന്ധു. കെ.വി

നിന്റെ ചിരിയാണ്
നിലാവായി ഇതുവരെ വായിച്ചതൊക്കെയെന്ന്

നക്ഷത്രങ്ങൾ നോക്കിനിൽക്കെ,
നിന്നെയാണു ഞാൻ
കാലിത്തൊഴുത്തിൽ പെറ്റതെന്ന്

തടവറയിൽ , നീ പിറന്നപ്പോഴാണ്
ചങ്ങലകളഴിഞ്ഞു പോയതെന്ന്

എന്റെകുഞ്ഞായി മാത്രം പിറക്കുന്ന
രക്ഷകനാണു നീയെന്ന്

ഞാനേറ്റുപറയാൻ പോകയാണ് !

రక్షకుడు

నీ చిరునవ్వే వెన్నెలని గుర్తించాను

తారలు తేరిపార చూస్తుండగా
నేను పశువుల పాకలో జన్మనిచ్చింది నీకే

ఎప్పుడు నా సంకెళ్లు తెగిపడ్డాయో
అప్పుడు కటకటాల వెనుక నువ్వునాకు జన్మించావు

నువ్వు నా రక్షకుడవు-
నా కడుపున శిశువువై జన్మించావు.

(Translated into Telugu by Manthri Krishna Mohan)
