मूल कविता: चार्ल्ज़ ब्युकोस्की
हिंदी अनुवाद रजनीश मंगा द्वारा
हमसे हमेशा कहा जाता है
कि हम दूसरों के दृष्टिकोण को
समझें
चाहे वह कितना ही
दकियानूसी
मूर्खतापूर्ण या
बेहूदा क्यों न हो.
हमसे कहा जाता है
कि उनके जीवन की
बड़ी से बड़ी भूल को भी
तरस खाते हुए
नज़रअंदाज़ कर दें,
ख़ास तौर पर उनकी
बढ़ती उम्र को
देखते हुए.
मगर उम्र क्या है
हमारे किये धरे का जोड़ ही तो है.
वे बुढ़ापे में
दुःख पा रहे हैं
क्योंकि वो
जीवन भर
निरुद्देश्य भटकते रहे,
उन्होंने गंभीरतापूर्वक सोचने की
कभी कोशिश ही नहीं की.
उनका कसूर नहीं है?
फिर किसका कसूर है?
मेरा?
मुझे कहा जाता है कि मैं
अपना दृष्टिकोण
उनसे छुपाऊं
डर कर
उनके डर से.
उम्र का बढ़ना जुर्म नहीं है
मगर यह जानबूझ कर
गंवा दी गई
ज़िन्दगी की
शर्मसारी
जानबूझ कर गंवा
दी गई
अनेकों जिंदगियों
के मद्देनज़र
अवश्य (एक जुर्म)है.
we are always asked
to understand the other person's
viewpoint
no matter how
out-dated
foolish or
obnoxious.
one is asked
to view
their total error
their life-waste
with
kindliness,
especially if they are
aged.
but age is the total of
our doing.
they have aged
badly
because they have
lived
out of focus,
they have refused to
see.
not their fault?
whose fault?
mine?
I am asked to hide
my viewpoint
from them
for fear of their
fear.
age is no crime
but the shame
of a deliberately
wasted
life
among so many
deliberately
wasted
lives
is.
Sir I loved Bukowski and you have translated him so well that now I love your translation even more.
A poem by a poet from the counter-culture which is well worth your translating, in my opinion. I ask myself' 'Have I aged well enough, or badly? ' I have wasted quite a lot of my life, but not so much in recent years.Being kind to some elderly people may not be sincere.
Bahut khoob......10++++ Kabhi kabhi shabd apne maine pa jaate hain sahi jagah per upyog hokar aur aapne is sunder kavita ko Ati Sunder bana diya, Dhanyavad Rajnishji.... उम्र का बढ़ना कोई जुर्म तो नहीं मगर यह जानबूझ कर गंवा दी गई ज़िन्दगी की शर्मसारी
Thank you so much for your kind words, Asim ji. It is the appeal of the original poem which makes it simple to understand and translate.
