Depression/ अवसाद

जब पहला i don't care निकला था
किसी की ज़ुबान से, उसे
वहीं, उसी वक्त,
एक ज़ोर का तमाचा मारना चाहिये था ।

पीली बेल
पैदा होते ही काट दो,
तभी बचता है पेङ।
ये परवाह न करने की महामारी भी
वही पीली बेल है
धीरे धीरे
मर रहा है पेङ।
घिरता आ रहा है
अकेलेपन का डर
अवसाद का दानव।

मरने वालों के अंतिम शब्द :
"No one cares for me. "

Could you translate this for me? 💜
Love kj

How do we know said...

Dear kj, this isn't an exact translation, but kind of says what I wanted to say:

We should have slapped
the first person who said
"I don't care"

A weed must be cut
at the very first appearance
if the tree
is to be saved.
This epidemic
of not caring
is a pernicious weed.
The tree
is dying
And it approaches
and surrounds
the fear of loneliness
the demon of depression.

The last words
of the dying person:
No one cares for me.
