[There was a window that lived in a wall.]

^{Translated from the Hindi by Arvind Krishna Mehrotra}

There was a window that lived in a wall.
Because of that window, there lived a view:
a hut, two footpaths, a river,
a couple of ponds.
One sky served all of them.
People came and went.
There were trees, birds.
Everything lived in the window.
If nobody was around, the window remained shut.
To one side of it, in the wall, there lived a man.
