Verses of Mir Taqi Mir, an Urdu poet of India: Transcreated by Sunil Uniyal
| Posted on November 13, 2009 at 8:23 PM |
.
In search of the Beloved, Mir has lost himself,
Will someone look at his plight ?
...
Gaze at the Beloved from head to feet,
You'll see God and God alone.
...
Where has my forgetfulness taken me?
I've been long waiting for myself.
...
What did the moth whisper into the lamp ?
the latter was left bewildered.... till dawn !
...
The heart says
it has been destroyed by the eyes
the eyes say
they have been abandoned by the heart
who is telling truth ?
who can surmise ?
Mir says he has been ruined
by both -
the heart and the eyes !
