No Body Did Ever Notice Me, A Urdu Ghazal By Hazeeb Soz In English Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

No body did ever notice me
with all the eyes in this world.
I was a gypsy though I had a home.

Someone brought and left me near the
banks of a river, vortexing in rage.
Lucky was I the river did not engulf me.

Is this a revenge or is it a protest?
What is all this about standing in the
burning sun while there is shade all around?

Give me a two yard of space anywhere in this world
I will stay there and go no where else.

If this is not bad luck, what else is it then?
I am alone in this world though I have a woman at home.
