who did pötschke
and squander many an opportunity
to become a mensch
instead he became persona non grata
condemned to a history of misery,
not unlike Doctor Hyde and Mister Jekyll,
where friends, Romans countrymen did heckle.
After all said and done,
I best have stayed

Mir Taqi Mir Translations
Couplets
by Mir Taqi Mir
loose translations by Michael R. Burch
Sharpen the barbs of every thorn, O lunatic desert!
Perhaps another hobbler, limping by on blistered feet, follows me!
?Mir Taqi Mir, loose translation by Michael R. Burch
My life is a bubble,
this world an illusion.

Selflessness has gotten me nowhere:
I neglected myself

Erklaere Es Mir Doch
Ich bin der Hund im Schoß deiner Lügen,
liege am Boden eines falschen Bettes,
deine Decke, Schicksal´s seidenes Tuch,
mein Blick glaubt immer noch and dich,
unter deinem Kleid liegen meine Wunder,
welche die Augen von all den Gestern
müde werden ließen.
Meine Nerven vereist, wie unter Eis verschlossen,
wenn ich einbreche, spüre ich die Kälte in Scherben vorbeiziehen,
so sinke ich in dich,

So for baby to breath were sure

Es Tut Mir Leid
Why do I have these mixed feelings
When you are near?
I still think of you
And still want you here.
I messed up and I hurt you
I don't want to do it again.
I try to forget about us
And what we had just began.
I let myself hurt you.
I killed our relationship.
I let selfishness come over me.
I didn't know
