main allah-wallah ko nahin maanta

Posted: Oct 26, 2009 Mon 01:22 pm     Views: 160    Interacts: 4

main allah-wallah ko nahin maanta,
usko kabhi main ne dekha nahin.
agar wo chahta k main us ko maanu
to wo zaroor mujh ko kuch to kehta,
meray darwaazay andar aa kar
kam se kam yeh to kehta:
"main hoon yahaan, tera allah."

tr. Ravi Kopra

from Fernando Pessoa's poem: "To think of anything is metaphysics enough" in Keeper of Sheep.

yeah they all be saying the same when youth is there & and they become self-proclaimed intellectuals and they are riding fast till death comes knocking and they lie helpless on deathbed, struggling to breathe, dying for water, then they wonder, what IF?
