I Wait for You

Mottakeenur Rehman

In every way I looked for you,
In every fiery expectation,
I caught a glimpse of you in touch,
And in verse, since then until the end,
I will wait for you,
Forever and ever, it will never be over.

Letting up the dawn chorus from the past,
Increasing the beautiful blueness of the vast,
Yellow-billed Egrets, Little Cormorants, and others as well,
The flocks of beautiful variegated birds,
Have all come back together to their nests.

The cattle at the gateway of evening,
Raising the dust of their feet,
Come back to their own shed.

Each and every soul has thus become thirsty and fast,
Carrying the messenger boxes of the heart,
The morning-going buses come back to the former stop.

No, no... for whom my eyes wait,
Has not been caught yet,
Embracing the disgrace of life,
For whom I count the countless days,
Has not come back yet!

    This is a superb poem. I would suggest that poems are written to their best advantage exploiting the beauty of the language they are written in. To translate them into another language for which they were not designed whilst maintaining their integrity is, I would suggest, an almost impossible task. Well this reads so well it must be an outstanding work in it's mother tongue.

      Translating such a complex poem into any other language than for which it was originally intended can't be easy my friend.. particularly when literal translations might prove to be impossible... I think this is a very brave attempt sir. .... Neville
