On everyone’s lips there was this talk.
Triumph is never for the poor folk;
Water always downward flows,
Fault to the deprived always goes.

More quotes by Haldhar Nag

Poetry must have real-life connection and a message for the people.

Everyone is a poet, but only a few have the art of giving them shape.

I cannot read, write or understand English so cannot compare the original and translated work.

The money I earn now by selling my body, I shall spend
To buy heaps of dowry, when I go as a bride newlywed.

Like in an heirless clan,
The lamp is lit by the newborn;
Let the wick burn and spread,
The language of Odisha-Western.
