Poetry(English Translation Of Odia Poem-Kavita)

Rating: 4.5


It is that pain
Which torments you always
It is that sorrow
Which wants to come out
But alas, can not

It is that pain
Which shivers on your lips
and sits as a tear drop
In the corner of your eyes
It is that ache
That like an arrow
Pierces your heart

It is that pain
Which sometimes
Flows in torrents
Like a river
And spreads the whole world
Like water vapour
Blooms to beauty
Like a flower
It is poetry
Of life
It is
The rhythmic dance
Of sorrow and happiness
Woven into words.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Tom Billsborough 12 August 2016

this is a beautiful poem with a lovely rhythm. I am curious to know how it would sound in Odia. Being a translator myself, I like to get the feel of the original language as far as possible. I often write poems in French and provide either a verse or prose translation. I also translate from Spanish but haven't the confidence to write in Spanish. This translation is so good I'm going to include it in my Favourite poems' list.

A hearty thanks, Sir, for reading and commenting on my poem from a translator's eye.I have translated Sayeed Abubakar's poem 'A Strange Boy' and it can be found in the comment box on his poem page.It is in Odia script which I typed with the help of a friend.
