Pushto Hykos In Translation

Posted: Apr 23, 2009 Thu 03:55 am     Views: 250    Interacts: 2

1)

True; the threats of floods are there

But I’ll keep planting flowers by the river

For, who’s relinquished life in fright of death?

2)

Just to keep my feel alive

I wash my wounds with salty water,

Lest, who’d choose to inflict pain upon oneself!

3)

Peace grows not like the wild seeds of mustard

On each the barren land

It needs the moisture of Justice with a thorough sprinkle

4)

Why do you hurl stones at the mirror

Upon seeing the strands of gray in your locks

Time’s not like Rahim Khan, O’ my naïve dear!
