maiN ye soch kar us ke dar se uThaa thaa
ke vo rok legii manaa legii mujhko
qadam aise andaaz se uTh rahe the
ke vo aavaaz de kar bulaa legii mujh ko
havaaoN meN lahraataa aataa thaa daaman
ke daaman pakaR kar biThaa legii mujhko

magar us ne rokaa, na mujhko manayaa
na aavaaz hii dii, na vaapis bulaayaa
na daaman hii pakRaa, na mujh ko biThaayaa
maiN aahistaa aahistaa baRhtaa hii aayaa
yahaaN tak ke us se judaa ho gayaa maiN

Kaifi Azmi

Translation by Anisur Rahman from Fire and the Rose.

I left her door and thought as though
she would call me back, not let me go;
my heavy steps so paced as though
she would call me back, not let me go;
the wind so billowed through as though
she would hold my garb, not let me go.

She neither stopped, nor wished I stay;
nor gave me a call, nor held my way;
nor clenched my garb, nor had any say–
I kept on faring slowly forward
till I separated from her.

      i hate to admit the fact this is exactly what happened when i went to met someone after a long gap of separation

      breathtaking composition

    4. I was getting ready
      to leave her thinking
      she’d make up with me
      and not let me go

      I took steps in such a way
      as if she would call me
      back and not let me go
      my shawl flitted in the winds
      she’d hold it I thought
      and not let me go

      but she didn’t stop me
      did not make up with me
      nor did she call me
      I kept on going step
      by step so much that
      we’re now fully on our own.

    5. i really loved it, beautiful poetry awesome.
