Unspoken…

This is the translation of a poem which I wrote in hindi yesterday night…

 

You can find the original poem in my Hindi poem’s archieve..”Nishabd”.

 

 

I want to thanks Akshay for this. The English version is slightly abridged because of exact translation was a difficult task. I tried my best to justify it. Don’t know how far I have been successful.

 

 

Many times on the shores of sea… I scribble some words…with a broken stick or circles of my fingers…

Every time a wave of sea comes by and takes away with it those words inside the drops…

Then again somewhere else, on some other shore…

In the damp sand these words prevails. Those words…my words …

which are left….unspoken

 

A moist fading smile

Indignant or unknown

Through roads on hand

Searching the words that are gone

Somewhere far, through a gleam

In the shadow of dreams

In nameless veins…

 

 

Ceased, Standing afore

In the drops, spent the day before

Which drizzled in sleeping eyes

From the twinkling lashes of sky

And in the watch of time

The moment’s reflection stops by

 

 

In polish of mirror

Sparkles the expression of glance

Fragrance of this song and in rambling words

Will meet those faces of chance…

 

 

Holding silky strands of those tacit plight

Yeah many times lost in the night

Sometimes just so forsaken

In the shelter of lips

Lie some words…UNSPOKEN

    wow! little brother you really are a poet! those were really very beautiful. the way you convey your feelings in a poem is really a gift.

    unspoken words are often times our downfall. for sometimes what our hearts are screaming to say our lips are too afraid to utter.

    i have regretted a lot of moments like that in my past because i was too afraid of what the other person would say if i said those “unspoken words”. but then, after years and years have already passed, sometimes i still wonder if my life would be any different if i had spoken those words… i guess now i will never know…because it’s too late.

    it’s often better to say what you really feel than keep it inside. ooops, sorry for the long comment=)

    unspoken

    words which get lost without being heard or seen….

    u r really a magician of words

  13. 2007 June 18

    I loved the Hindi poem more … and i read all these comments here and think – something wrong with me?

  14. 2007 June 18

    Avyajt should be called unexpressed, shouldn’t it?
    Powerful imagery, wonderful poetry :)

    sweetgirl~ u r really sweet :) thanx for so much of honour..

    Justso~ yup u r true..hindi poem is far lovely..its just translation of that..n the flow is lost..that poem being scribbled with some gust of thots at that time..so naturally the beauty is lost..I guess i have done injustice by translating it like this..so in future i m going to avoid it…Thanx Arpz..nothing is wrong with u yaar..ppl here most of the readers dont knw hindi..thats y;)

    phoenix~ good that u noticed..i was wondering no one pointed that to me till now..anyways how can that go unnoticed by a writer like u..
    actually this is abridged version of the original poem..also avyakt means unexpressed very true..but those remains unexpressed because of being unspoken :) ..so the name..
    here if u read the closing lines
    “Lie the words..Unspoken” means its lying inside the lips..also it means inside of me those words are saying untruth….the words which are unspoken..so it gets differed from hindi one a bit..thatss i changed it to unspoken.. :)

    some things are best left unspoken. Then again you can trick reality into giving you what you want, by speaking it into exsistence.

    Hi.. I tagged you for the 8 random facts meme… you don’t have o respond to it.. just thought I’d let you know…

  25. 2007 June 19

    Hello my friend,
    The translation works for me, but as with anything it pays to read it several times to appreciate the words being conveyed.
    I think it is absolutely wonderful, thank you.
    Many words lie within us and remain unspoken, then we think to ourselves ‘If I had said….’, but we are mere mortals and sometimes miss the opportunities without realising that they won’t pass our way again.
    Keep up the great work.

    perhaps the sea needs only to borrow for a while,
    your words of endearment to make the sun smile,
    though almighty on earth, yet short of words,
    short of the wings, that it sees on the birds.

    when imagination takes flight, there is eternity to land,
    yet all it chooses to borrow, is your words on the sand,
    many a traveller grew tired of this ratrace,
    yet not one of them walked into its brace.

    Like others before me have said, any comments are best left unsaid. The unspoken has its own charm of speaking in riddles. The could bes, the had beens, the has beens and the will bes. A whole repertoire of tricks it does conceal, in its language, silence.
