FORM THE POEM:
'Hurt' is such a strange polythene bag
which never gets
dissolved into the earth's crust
ऐसा अजीब पोलीथीन बैग एक 'चोट' है
जो कभी नहीं हो पाता
धरती की सतह पर नष्ट
When touched it makes a squeaky noise,
when burnt it exudes a pungent smell,
when left to itself
it pollutes the environment.
जब स्पर्श किया जाता है यह चीख जैसा शोर करता है,
जब जलाया जाता है यह तीखी गन्ध फैलाता है,
जब ज्यों का त्यों छोड़ दिया जाता है,
यह पर्यावरण को दूषित करता है।
Just like the polythene bag
His 'hurt' too melts down
With a little touch of warmth.
बिलकुल पोलीथीन बैग की तरह
उसकी चोट भी पिघल
जाती है थोड़ी-सी गर्मी के स्पर्श में
But deep inside the grief's garbage bin
Far away from everyone's gaze
The germs of the disease
Keep on growing
किन्तु गहरे दुख के कचरे दान में
सबकी नजरों से दूर
रोगों के कीटाणु
बढ़ना जारी रहते हैं।
The polythene bag
Remains buried within
यह पोलीथीन बैग
भीतर दफनाया रहता है।
Only the pain caused by the 'hurt'
Keeps coming back
Again and again.
मात्र उस चोट से उत्पन्न दर्द
बाहर निकलता रहता है
बार-बार ।

Presentation/ Style
- The poem “Polythene Bag” touches on the pressing environmental issue metaphorically. It correlates human emotion like ‘hurt’ and a mundane thing like a polythene bag. Thus, two dissimilar things are compared and correlated in a highly suggestive manner.
Correlation between polythene bag and human feelings
- Non-dissolving:
- Hurt and polythene bag are never dissolved.
- Both of them respond to touch, burning and the case of left alone
- A polythene bag is as touchy as a hurt person
- When touched, polythene bag makes a squeaky noise and a hurt person moans or groans.
- A polythene bag is as stinking as a hurt person
- A burning polythene bag gives off a sharp, strong smell.
- Similarly, a hurt person burning in anger speaks out foul words.
- If a polythene bag is left alone, it pollutes the environment.
- Similarly if the feeling of hurt is left uncared for, it continues to pollute the heart and mind of the hurt person as well as the people around him.
- Warmth as a remedy
- A little heat can melt a polythene bag.
- Similarly, a little warm feeling of love can soften the hurt.
- Uncared state harmful
- When a polythene bag is thrown into a dustbin, it is attacked by germs and so pollutes the environment.
- Similarly, hiding the feeling of hurt is no remedy, as it keeps on hurting the person again and again.
- That person proves harmful to the surroundings.
Pollution is a big environmental problem. Polythene bags are a major source of pollution. The poet uses this issue to underline the danger of negative human feelings like ‘hurt’. Man can have proper environment only when the surroundings and the feelings both are properly taken care of.
