Kundan

तुमने जलाया था 

कि राख हो जाऊं 


मैं कुंदन निकला 

******** 

You lit the fire 

to turn me to ashes 


I realised 

I was gold dust. 

*********** 

Gold dust and blobs look like ordinary earth/blobs before they are refined, then torched, and emerge as pure gold. This 24-carat thin gold is called Kundan in Hindi.
