गर्व का सिक्का / Coin of Pride

उसने सिक्का गरीब आदमी की ओर उछाला,

वही सिक्का जिसे उसने गर्व से था संभाला…

अब उसका नहीं रहा, उसका गर्व था खड़ा,

गरीब आदमी के पैरों के पास सड़क पर पड़ा…

🪙 🪙 🪙 🪙 🪙 🪙 

He tossed his coin to the poor man’s side,

The same coin that he held with pride…

Was no longer his, now on the street,

Laying close to the poor man’s feet…

  1. What a wonderful juxtaposition…both the rich man and the poor man felt pride for this coin..the pride travels from one to the other if the coin is given generously:) This made me think and also to see various other interpretations too. I so enjoyed this Kaushal!

    1. You are right, Karima, there may be other interpretations too. Coin here represents pride which shifts from one person to another. It may be anything else. Thank you for your time to read and leave such a lovely comment:)
