Hello Sir! Please Open the Door!

By Sahadev Poudel

Translation by Sanu Ghimire

**

Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!

Hello Sir!

Please open the door!

I been waiting for years and years,

Carrying the heavy luggage of anxiety and fear,

From hill to desert, warren

From mountain to ocean, warren

Crossing all the barriers, 

Several like mine had plunged in oceans.

Several like mine dissolved in the hills.

To make a pleasure dream to come true

Please open the door!

**

You opened the main gate with warm invitation

But now you are pretending to give the recognition

I been counting the stars for years

Watering your garden with my sweats

Planting my youth energy and fate

I drenched with night dew

I hit with a rainstorm

Burnt in the hot sun

Shrunk in the snow

For warm dream to come true

Please open the door!

**

You said:

"All men created equal by god.

We all are similar

No discrimination

Everybody deserve the dream and joy

This is not only mine

It belongs to all

We all are responsible

For its rise and fall

You taught that

We all have to build up it

And get the same share"

So Sir!

I am here with trance and expectation

For the start of conciliation

Please open the door!

**

I am not rebel or abductor

I am just an alien, a peaceful creature

I have arrived here with disquiet of nation

Taking the loan of home,

Without hurting you

I have collected happiness at my own

Following your ideology

I have forgotten my ideology

Rambling in your yards for years

I am becoming a stranger in my yard

Hello Sir!

For the respect of human being

Please open the door

**

It’s all right Sir

If you are not opening the door

But why did you make to wait for years?

After increasing the crowd in portico

Why did not you ask to return to domicile with cheers?

Now your words are heavy for me

Really, your promise is weighty for me

For the sake of your promise

Please Sir! Open the door

**

Remember that:

You also have come crossing the hills, desert and rivers

Similar to me, fighting with many barriers

Now you are inside

I am outside

Equality of opportunity is not implemented

I am still waiting with hope and anticipation

For offering me to stay inside,

For the respect of equality

Please open the door

**The door has not opened yet………… The struggle is going on**
