At dawn they emerge from their huts,
To bigin with same old rut;
with hammer in hand they march towards ground,
As if saluting the huge stones .
Among them are children , youth and old,
their faces are dull but bold;
they disperse among the scattered stones,
and then bigin to crack them one by one,
Men are hammering the stones very hard,
women are trying to excell their counterparts'";
Old after breaking the stone have a pause,
it seems clearly they are sick of their job.
Children are trying hard to learn this art,
though not successful they are busy with the job;
Among heap of crushed stones lies two months old child,
unmindful of his surroundings he is enjoying the life.
A boy and girl are having romance,
Every now and then they exchange glance;
Not bothered by hard circumstances of their work,
They are busy in their own dreamworld.....

There are youth amongst the stonecrushers who besides breaking the stones are
exchanging glances.

very nice
graphic painting of a mundane observation... made special by the poem
we witness this so often, very few think about it the special few would write about it

Saadat Sahib,
This poem was written by me around 30 years ago when I was student.
Good to see that it is acceptable in present day concept, when you
no longer find stone crushers in actual.
