Swarg Se Bidai

Brothers and Sisters this magnificent structure is now ready
Now you may leave…
With your full strength
You cut the ground
Laid a deep foundation
Many of your comrades
Were even buried beneath the earth

To be brief, you’ve created
A shimmering heaven
Of comfort, convenience and freedom
A secure enclave
For this labour
And effort
Many thanks to you
Now you may leave
…those dim hovels you’ve erected over there
You’d better clear them off too…
You are free
our responsibilities are over
now it is not right for you to stay here for a minute longer.

—- Gorakh Pandey, Swarg Se Bidai (Adieu from Heaven)
