Suna Hay... (Urdu) ! ! ! Poem by Shahzia Batool

Ha ha as usual old wine in new glass, horrendous callous veracity to be presented magnificently...10/10

Suna tha aashti k mehrbaan baadal jo barsen gay Masaiyl sir chhupaanay ki jagah lene ko tarsen ge Huh! ... no…. not any time soon prof! A pained pine and harrowed howl … beautifully put Sadly for the so called third world no respite is in sight any time soon. Many people blame the politicians some say that they themselves the people are to blame. Many lament weather and even faith for their woes. I feel it’s the embedded colonial evil that is the root cause; all else fades into the back ground compared with what the imperialist forces left behind by design, the neocons, imperialists and neocolonialists perpetuate the malaise by all means available to them, ad nauseum, incessantly and with military precision and planning. Contextually rich On content: You touch a raw nerve……. I feel Romanization of Urdu unceremoniously scatters it to ash ….the beauty and the nuances of Urdu poetry can never be captured in English, partly due to the much more elaborate vocalization possible in Urdu, the zabr zer pesh and more, a bit like the French accent aigue.... It is indicated by the diacritic sub/supra script marks. The diacritic script marks coupled with short and long vowels and then the extension to the initial medial and final phases of the longer instance ensure that English will never ever be capable of faithfully reproducing Urdu script. Even the “eloquent” Arabic language (has 400 words for the camel they say and 500 hundred for sand - what else do they see any way) falls far short of the capacity and facility of Urdu in this regard. (Being a rudimentary speaker of the Arabic language) I have always thought that the originators and incubators of the Urdu language (a relatively modern language) were very very astute, perceptive and judicious people. But this, prof, isn’t my area of discourse… so I will leave the rest to you…. Stay blessed :)

suna hey phir wo hi sayyad baghbano ke roop mein is bagh ke phoolon ko rondein gey humain abhi bhi bad-e sar sar key jhokon mein jhulasna hey abhi aur aag ke golon ney barsna hey abhi na janey kitne aur masoomon ney apni kitabon ko gale lagaye mot ki wadi mein utarna hey abhi zarkhaiz wadion ke maqadar mein sholon ki barish mein jalna likha hey It's eloquent and off-hand expression of feelings from depth of hearts.10/10
