हिन्दी अनुवाद―प्रस्तुत कविता 'फ्रॉम ए रेलवे कैरेज' के कवि हैं रॉबर्ट
लुईस स्टीवेन्सन (जन्म-दिसम्बर 13, 1850 तथा मृत्यु 3 दिसम्बर 1894
जो स्कॉटलैंड के प्रसिद्ध कवि, उपन्यासकार व यात्रा लेखक थे।
इस कविता में कवि ने अपनी पहली रेल यात्रा का वर्णन किया है। कवि
रेलगाड़ी की तेज गति से आश्चर्यचकित था। वह कहते है कि ट्रेन की स्पीड
यानी गति/चाल परियों और चुडैलों से भी तेज थी। रेल इतनी तेज गति से दौड़
रही थीं कि पुल-पुलिया, झाडीदार पौधे, गढ्ढे-नाले, एक क्षण को ही दिख
पाते और लुप्त हो जाते, गायब हो जाते थे। रेल किसी सेना की आक्रमण करने
वाली टुकड़ी की तेज चाल से चल रही थी। गुजर रही थी उन चारागाहों से
होकर जहाँ घोड़ों, गाय-बैल आदि पशु घास चरते, घूमते दिख रहे थे।
All of the sights ....... stations whistle by. [Page-116]
हिन्दी अनुवाद―कई प्रकार के दृश्य ट्रेन से कवि देख रहा था–
पहाड़ियाँ/पहाड़ और समतल मैदान जो कि ऐसे आँखों से ओझल हो जाते थे
मानो वर्षा की एक झड़ी झपकते रंगीन मकान और स्टेशन की बिल्डिंग-प्लेटफार्म
दिखते और ओझल हो जाते।
Here is a child ....... stringing the daisies. [Page-116]
हिन्दी अनुवाद―कवि की नजर बीच सड़क पर बोझा ढोते एक भाड़ा
गाड़ी (कार्ट/cart) पर पढ़ी जो आदमी और माल की मुश्किल से ढोते
लड़खड़ा कर जैसे आगे बढ़ रही थी। उसे ट्रेन से पहाडू भी दिखा और एक
नदी भी। ये सारे दृश्य क्षणिक देर को दिखते और फौरन नजरों से
ओझल/गायब हो जाते-ऐसी थी ट्रेन की तेज चाल जिस पर मुग्ध हो कवि
ने यह कविता बाद में लिखी।
