G. TRANSLATION .
Translate into English :
कल मेरे साथ एक अद्भुत घटना घटी । मैं दफ्तर से लौट रहा था । अपनी बिल्डिंग में पहुँचते ही अँधेरा हो गया । जेनरेटर और लिफ्ट भी काम नहीं कर रहे थे । मैं अँधेरे में किसी तरह से सौढ़ी तक पहुँचा । पहली सीढ़ी पर पैर रखने की कोशिश की , मैं गिर पड़ा । तभी किसी ने मुझे हाथ पकड़कर उठाया । वह अनजान व्यक्ति मुझे सीढ़ियों से हाथ पकड़कर ऊपर ले गया । आठवीं मंजिल पर मेरे फ्लैट के दरवाजे पर पहुंचकर मैंने उसे बारम्बार धन्यवाद दिया । तभी बिजली वापस आ गई । मैंने अपने अनजान मित्र को देखा । वह अंधा था । एक अंधे ने मुझे राह दिखाई थी ।

Poem :-
I’m handicapped and wheelchair bound Expected to sit and not make a sound Just to smile and let the world go by With saintly patience and never sigh. Inside my head thoughts come and go Ideas are born which long to flow Flow from my lips and link me with others But words sound strange as no one bothers.
My tongue and lips do not as I ask I cannot perform the simplest task But I have a mind and I’m still their.
Don’t lock me out in your ignorance there. Talk though I seem not to understand Touch me, include me, hold my hand I am alive and I have time to give Let me share in the life I was given to live.
