THE CASTLE OF SOUL
THE CASTLE OF SOULInside the room
Without a number
In the notebook
Of the kingdom of silence
I will be
(Always)
Only the three
Myself
Solitude
Love
With all infinitely
I enforce
The Castle of soul
***
A LONGING
Through the straights soul
I had a longing
My tear came out
In the stone of solitude
Was a (f) liberty
Of an ancient pain
To invade
And cure
With a hug
That was missing
Where hope drips
And feeds
A river of love
***
IN THE HOLE OF SOUL
I will enter entirely
In the little hole of my soul
And will never exit
Until I dissolve
In your solitude
Then I will come out
From that hidden little door
(Not with a white flag of surrender)
But abruptly
As a passionate of love
(Translated from Albanian into English by Peter Tase)
***
رُوح جو قلعو
رُوح جو قلعوڪمري اندر
ڪتابن جي بنان نمبر ورقن منجھ
ماٺار جي سلطنت ھوندي
جنھن ۾ سدائين
مان ھوندس _
صرف ٽي ڄڻان
مان پاڻ
اڪيلائي، ۽
.پيار
مان پاڻ کي
رُوح جي قلعي اندر
لامحدود سانت ۾ سمائي ڇڏيندس
***
ھڪ خواھش
رُوح جي اُونھائين ۾
ھڪ خواھش ھئي
ھِڪُ لُڙڪ وھي نڪتو ۽
اڪيلائپ جي پٿر ۾
جذب ٿي ويو
اِھو پُراڻي درد جو
آجپو ھو
ھڪ ڀاڪُر
سان شَفا جي خواھش ھئي
انھيءَ ڳالھ جي ئي کوٽ ھئي
جنھن ۾
اُميدون
پيار جي نديءَ کي قُوت بخشين ٿيون
***
رُوح جي پاتال ۾
رُوح جي ننڍڙي سوراخ مان
مان مُڪمل طور اندر داخل ٿي ويندس
۽ وري ڪڏھن بہ ٻاھر ڪونہ ايندس
ايستائين، جيستائين
مان تنھنجي تنھائيءَ ۾
مڪمل طور جذب نہ ٿي وڃان
پوءِ مان ڳُجھي ننڍڙي در مان
ٻاھر نڪرندس
(ڪنھن ھارايل ماڻھوءَ جيان اڇو جھنڊو کڻي نہ)
پر عشق جي مڪمل شدت سان
(Sindhi language translation by Nasir Aijaz)
