ਵਿਕੀਸਰੋਤ ਤੋਂ
ਇਹ ਸਫ਼ਾ ਪ੍ਰਮਾਣਿਤ ਹੈ

ਪਰਦੇਸੀ ਢੋਲਾ

ਅੰਤਿਕਾ

John Berger

MIGRANT WORDS

In a pocket of earth
I buried all the accents
of my mother tongue

there they lie
like needles of pine
Assembled by ants

One day the stumbling cry
of another wanderer
may set them alight
then warm and comforted
he will hear all night
the truth as lullaby

[72]
