Poem: Window
By Balbir Singh Sooch, Advocate, Ludhiana
Window was as a mirror of my background
Couldn't say what and what not it made clear
Which subject was not keeps it reminding
Window kept on screening the World
The arguments for and against
Also pro and con of life
None was hidden in Window
Whoever called badly to Window?
His own bad said Window
Emotions and awareness of every moment in Window
My source of Worldly knowledge in Window
What praise I should do of Window?
The statistics of every problem
And solution was in Window
Sexual characteristics, anger, greed, pride
And phantasm, hoax and mare's nest
Sacrifice and information was in Window
The perception of happiness
Sadness, frustrations and clash was in Window
But how to tell that what was and what was not in Window!!!
Gleam, sight, peep of my life was also in Window
The scene of the whole World was in Window
Let anyone say anything, everything was in Window
Don't know who was ahead
Computer information or Window
*Don't ask for it *
*I or my neighborhood was Window!!!*

Poem 'Window' Has to Remain Unexplained! Why?
In fact, the poem is not for your Newspaper in case you don't have Translator working as a 'Generalist' who can interpret and translate the 'Panjabi language' words keeping in mind imagination of different situations as a scene robber in isolation, frankly without caring any social boundaries. It all varies from man to man and everything could not be expressed for the reasons of social moral values, those may differ from society to society. I don't think the scene through 'Window' while looking outside to immature or mature open society relaxing unnoticing or attracting in different styles beyond limits and check or the experience/harassment of self and others etc of standing and waiting for the turn in queue in front of or near 'Window' to purchase tickets etc could be explained and imagined literally and specifically.
'Word' window itself has many meanings in English, it being the richest language and similarly the interpretation and meaning of the poem very likely to change as per the meaning of word 'window' according to its use in different situations and context.
To my mind, the taste of poem is in imagination and also leaves others to imagine without attributing it specific meaning or interpretation literally. I find the same taste for different people differently while they preach, grasp and interpret old religious scriptures, literary work etc.
It may be within your reach and resources to get the poem translated from Panjabi to English literally or finding its wider meaning, interpretation on the basis of imagination for the words used in case the poem deserve so in view of my this explanation.
