Hindi Poems

Ang pag-ibig na wagas
Ay walang pagdududa; 
Di nag-aalinlangan, 
Laging nagtitiwala.

Ang pag-ibig na wagas
Ay totoong matibay; 
Tapat hanggang sa dulo, 
Hindi humihiwalay.

Ang pag-ibig na wagas
Ay malinis ang hangad; 
Hindi pakitang-tao, 
At lalong hindi huwad.

Ang pag-ibig na wagas
Ay may basbas ng Diyos;...Read More

Weaver birds near Escombe, where I was raised ...
Doing their weaving with palm leaves, cut precisely
With little beaks, for bare Acacias across the yard ...
Now nests like fruit: wide downturned mouths - not for hospitality -
But for raising another free...Read More

Baitha tha kashti me... 
"Wo bola ye manjil tak jayegi... "
Toofaan aaya raste me... 
Kise tha pata kashti doob jayegi...
mushkil se tehrana sikha samandar me... 
Na dar raha toofaan ka... 
Na jaroorat kashti ki... 

Gehraai hai in baton me...

I was unable to relate
the state
of my heart to her,
while she failed to infer
the nuances
of my silences.

Ek ajeeb si khushi hai aaj dil mein,
Mudaton baad itna sukun mila hai,
Har baat pe hasne ko jee chahta hai,
Shayad usko bhi mujhse mohabaat hai.

Jisne b di thi takleefein, unko duaein di,
Khuda se har pal...Read More

Strange Currents
by Amir Khusrow
loose translation by Michael R. Burch 

O Khusrow, the river of love
creates strange currents—
the one who would surface invariably drowns,
while the one who submerges, survives.

Nung una, akala ko dahil sakin, kaya hindi kana masaya.
Akala ko dahil sakin kaya ka nagbago.

Pero kaya pala.

Kaya pala unti unti kang nanlalamig, kaya pala, dahil sa kanya.
Kaya pala nagbago ka na, kaya pala, dahil sa kanya.
Kaya pala maliit na...Read More

Rahaa na koi rishta baaqi, na jaanu uska thikaana
Rahi na zaroorat, rahi na muhaubat, guzra wo zamaana

Phir bhi kuch to hai, jo mere dil ke darwaaze pe dastak de
Ik yaad, koi fariyaad, tujhe na bhoolne ka bani bahaana

Yaadein poochti hai,...Read More

Musika, labis kang makapangyarihan
Pagkain ka ng bawat puso at kaluluwa
Napapaiyak at napapangiti mo ang mga makakarinig sa iyo
Ang bawat liriko mo ay makahulugan at madamdamin

Gitara ay matiyagang pinag-aaralan, makasabay ka lamang
Sa bawat pitik sa kuwerdas ng gitara, ligaya ay nadarama

Tanga, tawag sa mga taong nagkakamali
Pumili ng iibigin, iyon pang manloloko
Seryosong mangingibig, iniwasan, nilayuan
Kaya ngayon ikaw at pupulutin sa kangkungan

Piniling mga kaibigan ay mga adik at sugarol
Kaya magiging katulad mo na rin sila sa huli
Ayaw sa mga mukhang tanga at...Read More

Samahan na wagas, pangarap ng lahat
Buklod buklod, Hindi watak watak
Hindi bukod bukod, Hindi kanya kanya
Walang nauuna, walang nahuhuli
Walang umaalis, walang naiiwan

Subalit iba ang pangarap sa katotohanan
Ang mga tao'y nagka kanya kanya
Parti partido, parti partisan
May samahan ng mga ganid
Samahan ng mga...Read More

Umaga, o kay gandang umaga
Punung puno ng pag-asa, isang panibagong araw sa buhay
Masarap humigop ng tsokolate o kape bago pumasok sa opisina
sa iyong paglalakad, iyong mamamasdan ang ganda ng kapaligiran

Maraming tao ang iyong nasasalubong, iba iba ang layunin para sa...Read More

Buhay, sadya yatang masalimuot
Kulang ang gawa, marami ang salita
Mas madaling sumimangot kaysa sa ngumiti
Sayang ang mga ngiti kung hindi rin lang naman tutugunan

Buhay ko ay kulang kung hindi rin lang naman ikaw ay mapapasaakin
Mas madali pa yatang manloko kaysa tumulong...Read More

Meel ke patthar anokhe
Hain adig thehre hue se
Taakte hain raahen unki

Sochte hain na kabhi ye raahen unki johte hain
Ye adig hain na hilenge
Laut kar shaayad milenge

Salamat po, Ka Eduardo, 
Sa inyong pagmamahal; 
Inaakay ang Iglesia
Patungo sa bayang banal.

Kahit mapagod at mapuyat, 
Ay hindi alintana; 
Ang mahalaga'y matupad
Ang tungkulin sa Ama.

Walang tigil sa paglalakbay, 
Kahit sa malayong dako; 
Panganib ay sinusuong, 
Alang-alang sa kawan ni Cristo.

Damang-dama...Read More

Science, mathematics, history and geography…all are the subjects of my school
Education is vital for all
Random thoughts in my mind
Penning them down by my side
The most important being math
Driving people crazy most of the time
Science or vigyan as people call it...Read More

Sooraj kee roshanee paakar
Chaand kitana jagamagaega
