நிறத்தொரு பூனை
A white
coloured cat
(My sad comments
on this great poem:-
Here is another great poem by Mahakavi BHarathi .Seeing all around him, he
felt that even in our country colour
is going to make people inferior
or superior.In this simple song he tells us that , just like kittens of
different colours are same,people of different colour are same. I had written in a poem:-
Why God did you create me black? A girl asks the Lord
By
P.R.Ramachander
Oh Krishna
There are none who would want not to see you,
But There are none who
would want to see me
OH Krishna ,
There are none who hate you after
seeing you,
But there are none who love me
after seeing me,
Oh Krishna .
It is always welcome to you,
And always no entry for me
Oh Krishna
No one can see my good mind,
But all of them only see the colour of my
skin,
Oh Krishna ,
The people to whom I belong hate to see
me ,
If Woman means prettiness, what am I?
Oh Krishna ,
You are not worried, for people come to see
you made of rock,
Was there any need for you , to create
me as black.)

நிறத்தொரு பூனை;- எங்கள்
வீட்டில்
வளருது கண்டீர்;

பெற்றது பூனை
அவை
பேருக்கொரு நிறமாகும்
You have seen a white cat ,
Groeing in our home
,
That cat gave
birth to kittens,
And each of them
were of different colour

Ash coloured was
one kitten,
Dark black coloured
was another kitten,
One kitten was of
the colour of the snake,
And another was of
the colour of white milk.

இந்த

ஏற்ற
மேன்றும் சொல்லலாமோ?
Whatever may be
their colour,
Are they not of the same kind,
How can we tell
that one colour ,
Is inferior and the
other superior?

Just because
their colours are different ,
Human beings do
not differ ,
Whether it is thought or action , please,
See that they
are same for every one.

What a tragedy ?Why are we loving a white cat more than a black one?
