Something's Lost In Translation

Yaakov is Jacob
       Yosef now Joseph
     Shlomo now Solomon
       Jonathan - Yonatan

     Is it the Anglicization
       or the Hebraization 
     underpins the garblization
       of this transliteration

© Gershon Wolf  

What use cleaning up a skunk 
If your mind murky remains,
A fish forever is dunk
In water, her stink still retains.

Kabeer was a medieval saint poet. One of his quatrains is taken here for translation (transliteration as under):

nahaye dhoye kya bhaya, jo mana maila na jaye,
mina sada jalamen rahe, dhoye basa na jaye.
