Translation of Marathi poem 

'आकाशी झेप घे रे पाखरा' by जगदीश खेबूडकर

आकाशी झेप घे रे पाखरा  - जगदीश खेबूडकर	Take a leap into the sky, Oh bird!
आकाशी झेप घे रे पाखरा सोडी सोन्याचा पिंजरा	Take a leap into the sky,Oh bird! Leave your golden cage
तुजभवती वैभव, माया फळ रसाळ मिळते खाया सुखलोलुप झाली काया हा कुठवर वेड्या घेसी आसरा	You are surrounded by wealth and relations with a delicious fruit to eat You are happy with  idleness How long will you take asylum here
घर कसले ही तर कारा विषसमान मोती चारा मोहाचे बंधन द्वारा तुज आडवितो हा कैसा उंबरा	This is not a house but jail The given food is nothing but poison Attractions are holding you at door How the door sill is stopping you
तुज पंख दिले देवाने कर विहार सामर्थ्याने दरि-डोंगर, हिरवी राने जा ओलांडुनी या सरिता-सागरा	God has given you wings Move as you like with strength Go over valleys, hills and green pastures Cross the rivers and sea
कष्टाविण फळ ना मिळते तुज कळते परि ना वळते हृदयात व्यथा ही जळते का जीव बिचारा होई बावरा	Nobody gets fruit without efforts You know it but fail to act accordingly You feel sad about it in your mind only Why your life has become so helpless
घामातुन मोती फुलले श्रमदेव घरी अवतरले घर प्रसन्‍नतेने नटले हा योग जीवनी आला साजिरा	Pearls did grow through sweat God of efforts arrived at home House got filled with joy This event has created happiness in life
