मुझसे बर्दाश्त नहीं होता वो भरोसा करने वाला चेहरा!
वो मांगता है डबल रोटी, उम्मीद
रखता है डबल रोटी की, और मैं अपने राज में
उसे पत्थर दे सकती थी।

(The Original)

The dog has cleaned his bowl
and his reward is a biscuit,
which I put in his mouth
like a priest offering the host.

I can’t bear that trusting face!
He asks for bread, expects
bread, and I in my power
might have given him a stone.
