Translation Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Translation



Translate it to me
Let me understand the context
What you say is not true
You perpetuate your own ideas
If at all you understand
The meaning of an idea
Translate it to me
I don’t understand Latin
Let me be out
Of the spell of your eloquence
Let me understand it
And let me search the things
Which are for me
And let me know its meaning
I don not agree with what you say
Because you are a nondescript
Let me understand it myself
For it is not what you say
Let your demons and gods
And your heavens and hell
Be your story of this world
And the world hereafter
I want to have my own story
And my own translations
And my own heavens
