Haikus (The Women) Poem by Naseer Ahmed Nasir
Haikus (The Women)
The green paddy fields,
In the hearts of eves
Are divine secrets.
********
In the fields of saffron,
The laboring women
How pale and consumptive look.
********
Why does the decaying belle
Bring a garland
Needling fresh flowers?
********
In the dreadful jungle of the night,
A frail, thin line of the light
Or smiles of jet black women.
********
On the sand of the shore,
Basking in the sun
There are dreamy and drowsy belles.
(1986, Translated from Urdu into English by Dr.M.Q. Khan, India)
i can see a haiku moment in all. you have captured women from different perspectives- beauty, mystery, ageing, frolicking. Naseer each is a gem. there is sense of wonder, sadness, admiration- your inner eye didn't miss anything. please post some more. i notice you don't follow traditional 5,7,5 syllables. THanks Mamta
