I Am A Mad Man Poem by Abdul Wahab

I Am A Mad Man

Rating: 4.2


Hundreds of thousands people
Hundreds of thousands years
In the corner of their hearts
Lives the black grain dolorous
Creates a web
Gives a poisonous pain
I become very sad ……..
To lessen the sadness I laughed
The laugh was very loud
Before that I was very sane
Now I am a mad man.


Now in the corner of my heart the sorrows dwell
Making a bonfire taking the sense as a fuel
The fire has a too much glow too much heat
My heart bleeds, my mind takes a fit
To me now there is no difference of compassion and cruelty
People are making fun out of me very cheaply.
I could have saved myself very easily
If I was a blunt
If I was an indifferent
But I was very sensitive
I could not bear with the grief
Just to lessen my sadness, I laughed
The laugh was very loud
Before that I was very sane
Now I am a mad man.

Strange how different tongues have different nuances and they are all different..thanks for putting your hand to translating, it could not have been easy, but there is a continuity running between your lines which tells me you had success.

The translation is good but not perfect. Too bad I can't understand Bengali. Interesting, charming, and very well expressed. I particularly enjoyed these lines: To lighten the sadness as soon as I laughed The laugh became very loud, ......and........, as soon as I laughed The laugh was very loud These lines are psychologically very astute, honest and touching. I also like what followed them: Before that I was very normally sane Now I am a mad man
