Jab talaq liyay log
apni lubas main caaroN main
baithay ghoomtay firtay hain
to sochtay hain un ke saathi ko kya hua
aur kya hua un k apnay jootoN k joDay ko
Aur agar tum ek par nazar rakho
to kis ko patta kya hua doosray be-chaaray jootay ko
Saalon k baad bhi ye nahin patta lagta
k kya un k saathi ko koi saathi mila k nahin
beghair apni jhaangaiN kholay
jootay k feetay na kholay, aur is ka sole.
Haaey apni soul -aatma- nirali jo sochnay main bhi hai
kya hawaa main latki hue kabhi zamin par chal sakay gi
ya nahin jab jootay ki aiDi badal chuki hai.

People Getting Divorced
BY LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI
People getting divorced
riding around with their clothes in the car
and wondering what happened
to everyone and everything
including their other
pair of shoes
And if you spy one
then who knows what happened
to the other
with tongue alack
and years later not even knowing
if the other ever
found a mate
without splitting the seams
or remained intact
unlaced
and the sole
ah the soul
a curious conception
hanging on somehow
to walk again
in the free air
once the heel
has been replaced
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
without splitting the seams or remained intact unlaced and the sole ah the soul a curious conception hanging on somehow to walk again in the free air once the heel has been replaced.. Fine poetry
