The Meaning of Existence

Posted: Oct 30, 2009 Fri 01:58 pm     Views: 56    Interacts: 2


har cheez zirf zubaan de siwa
zindgi da matlab jaandi hai.
peR, nazam, dariya, waqat nu
kisay hor gul di koee samajh nahin.
har pal eh duniya ki hai
o saanu dasday hun.

mera pagla jiya badan wi
eh gul kujh samajda hai.
poori di poori samaj lainda
je bolan leyi zubaan na hondi.

-tr. Ravi Kopra

Punjabi
Original in English by Les Murray
