barti huyi kathputliyon jaise
pade huye ye manushye
jeev vibhinn, aur ajeev
aaj ka parv khatam hua
kal phir se
doriyan khichoonga inki
phir shuru hoga manchan
jeevan ka
ratri ke is antim prehar mein
main
sutradhar inka
kar loon thoda vishram abhi
attempt at translation, somebody who can enhance it, is always welcome...
these beings, strewn across
like used puppets
varied forms, living and not
the episode today has ended
tomorrow again
will pick their strings
once more
the play will start
of life
in this last hour of night
i
their director
want to have a little rest now

Its indeed true, that the beauty of it is lost in translation. those hindi lines are well... just outta this world!!

is it just for the ske of being different or am i seriously touched in the head.....i actually found the translation better than the hindi poem.....rather i might as well add what i immediately felt..
i felt i was reading my 8th class hindi reader...with heavy duty hindi poems which had to be understood and be told in the class...and jiske questions in the exam paper was like this
"barti huyi kathputliyon jaise
pade huye ye manushye
jeev vibhinn, aur ajeev
aaj ka parv khatam hua
kal phir se"
upar likhi kavita se kavi ka kya tatparya hai?
200- 300 shabdo mein ullekh karen.
( marks)
no offence dahling...but seriously the english one was better.uh though i do love the hidi bit of the second para..."ratri ke is antim prehar mein....main....sutradhar inka...kar loon thoda vishram"
the ultimate question is...who in this world lets us rest...they wont even let anyone close their eyes. or even avert them in disgust....
shadows: highly appreciated :) atlest koi to comment karta hai!
u wont ever stop being the sarcastic bastard that u are!!!
