Patradoot Or the Messenger 42of 50
Patradoot or The Messenger 42/50
English version by Ravindra K Kapoor
Originally written in Hindi by my
Late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor
You will find everything here, disarranged and disturbed,
Like the shining less face of my sad beloved, dear letter,
When you would reach along with her, on her bed,
To take a rest, in the sweet company of my beloved.
That tender girl with a loving heart, looks after my parents,
As if, they are her own real father and mother, O dear letter,
Because of this great affection and love in her heart for them,
They love my beloved, more than even their precious life, dear.
Suppressing her strong desires, to know more about me dear,
She would leave, without enjoying your sweet company,
As she would be serving my patents and her dear sweet child,
With same devotion, as she gives to me, when I am there,
Dear Letter, you will get rest and peace, during the entire day,
While waiting for my beloved to get free from the day’s works,
You would recollect then, the entire message I gave to your,
For conveying it, to my beloved wife, dear letter,
When she would retire from day’s long works and duties, dear,
She would run hurriedly towards you, O dear letter,
With tears of happiness in her eyes, she would appear before you,
Adoring you in her mind, since you have messages from her love,
Ravindra

Patradoot in Hindi was originally written by my late father
Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor around 1932, who was a freedom fighter.
He wrote Patradoot in Hindi, when he was kept in Faizabad Jail for quite
a long time. The Epic was written as a gift for my mother and it was
sent to her secretly from Faizabad Jail. He was imprisoned
by the British, as he was fighting for India's freedom
under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. He was imprisoned
many times during 1920 to 1947. After India’s
independence as a true follower of Gandhi Dr. Amar Nath
Kapoor left active politics and devoted rest of his life in
writing easy mass literature and wrote many Dramas,
Poetry books, epics. All his other literary
works were mainly written from 1955 to 1990.
