 -translation by Prayash Nepali original words by Bhairab Aryal A clean white sheet Reference site on a hospital bed first makes a new patient giddy As she feels the fabric as if her fingers will stain it, Oh so soft, so delicate Like a home bed made ready But as she tosses and turns the sheet slips here and there, the patient takes notice beneath the covering layer. Inside those dry clean cover under that clean white sheet lie blankets, mattress, numerous rags, piling on from centuries Eew! one could almost see the stench Stains of pus and blood The more you take notice, the grosser it becomes Only after seeing the side rotting with faecal matter Will she realize the inner secret the bed's shine and grandeur is only a cover She grits her teeth and screams tearing apart the covering layer Oh you, how long will you value life based on cover and only cover. The doctor holds the wrist and declares insanity Then the half smiling nurse brings out the colorful liquid of remedy
