Of Love And Cyanide, A Linda Maria Baros Poem In Hindi/Urdu

Mujhe ghar se ya cHat k cHote kamaray se
telephone mat karna
main apne aap hi tere paas aa jaoNgi

Aur apni cHati ko cheer kar dil bahar nikal looNgi
apne dantoN se is ko kaat dalooNgi
ansuoN ko toothpick laga kar jo namak
main ne chuna hai usay dil k tukron par bikhar dooNgi
aur inko jaise chukee chalaii jaati hai
apne hathoN se tum par maar dalooNgi

Ta k tumhari bahoN aur laatoN ki haddiyan
tukray tukray ho kar toot jayeN
ta k tumhare moonh se jo peshab ki badboo aati hai
tumhari bHathi main jal jaye
aur tumhare sar main jo bhoot baitha hai
hamesha k liye us k tukDe tukDe ho jaayeN

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Don't call me from home, from your garret,
because I'll come for you!
And I'll tear my heart out of my chest,
I'll hack at it with my teeth
and I'll sprinkle it with salt
extracted with a pick
from my tear ducts
and I shall hurl it
as one hurls a millstone,
so it breaks your tibia and your fibula
- into little pieces! -
so it buries deep in the oven
your ammoniac breath
and so it splits once and for all
your savage beastly head!


In French by Linda Maria Baros
