"sona" poems
"Tagu-taguan, maliwanag ang buwan
Sona-sonahan, madilim na naman.
Pagbilang kong tatlo, nakatago na kayo
Mapagod man kayo, tuloy pa rin ang laban ko
Isa.. dalawa.. tatlo.. Game?"
Pag si Juan ang nagsalita,
Nag-aalitan ang madla.
Pag tikom ang bibig,
Siya'y bulag raw sa maralita.
Pag nilatag ang naplantsa,
Lalatiguhin ng administrasyon.
Pag walang plataporma,
Ihahagis sa bangin ng suhestisyon.
Kalaban pala nati'y ang sariling atin,
Demokrasya nga'y may sapin pa rin sa bibig
Mga bolang itim, saang lupalop ang padpad
Mapait ang kapayapaan,
Dakila ma'y kanilang binabagsak din.
Walang nakatitiis sa bayang nagpapapansin
Masakit nga naman sa bulsa ang tunay na bayanihan
Dugo'y dumanak makamtan lamang ang demokrasya
Sobra-sobra nga lang ang danak ng iilang raleyista.
Sadsad sa suliranin ang Inang tinakwil
Mga anak sa lama'y namasyal pa sa ibang bayan
Hindi na matapus-tapos ito'y pagdadamayan,
Damay sa kurapsyon, damay sa pagtitwakal ng mga Inakay.
Yuyuko na lang ang nasa langit
Pagkat nagapi ang mga tunay na Anak --
Ang lipunang ginahasa ng iilang ganid,
Paulit-ulit na, ang hapdi ng kamusmusan.
May iilang nagtatanong,
May iilang walang pagtataka,
Musmos sa bayan, wala namang pag-usbong
Kaya't iba na lang ang nakikinabang
Puspos sa distansya
Ng kamalian ng nakaraan.
Hugas-kamay ang iilan,
Simpleng hindi batian,
Wika nga ba ng pagkakalimutan?
Parang away-kalye, away-bata
Aso't pusa, sa lipunang
ang hepe'y sila-sila lang din.
Batu-bato pik, naglalaro ang iilan
Bukas tataya na naman sa lotto
At pag natalo'y iiyak na lang,
Bibigyan ng tsokolate,
Pangako para sa matamis na pag-iibigan
Ngunit balat lang pala,
Mapagbalatkayong himagsikan
Tapos, hahanap ng Darna
Pagkalunok ng bato ng kamanhidan.

Yeh bharat hai
un veer jawano ka,
Jahan samman hota aurato ka
Atithi aur kisaano ka,
Yeha bahati hai Ganga ki suddh dhara,
Rahenge sda hum ek hamara yahi nara,
Manaye jate hain id yaha harsho-ullas se,
Khele jate holiya bhi rango aur gulal se,
Kheto ki hariyali hi bharat ki pahchan,
Ugate hai sona bhi mitti se yahan ke kisaan,
Yeh bharat hai
un naujawano ka,
Jo tay karte desh ka bhavishya, vishav me pahchan hain enke ek alag karnamo ka,
Yehan ke log jite hain sirf es watan ke liye,
Kadi dhup ** ya kadkdati thand karte hain mehnat dinbhar do roti aur us pet ke liye,
Yahan thirakati hain nariya kathak ke dhuno par,
Barsate hain phul yahan us thinranga jhande par,
Likh do sabd MANISH bhi bataya apni desh ki pahchan,
Jiski sabheyata aur sanskriti hain sarvopari
Jahan sabhi log ek saman...

Aa ab laut chalein apne ghar
Aa ab laut chalein apne ghar
Bht lamba hogaya yeh safar
Jaha teri shetaniyon ka manzar tha
Jaha pyar ka samndar tha
Jaha thak kar sona ata tha
Jaha har kona muskurata tha
Jaha beeta har din yadgaar tha
Jaha ka har pal suhana khwab tha
Aa laut chalein apne ghar
ab bht taay kar liya yeh safar
jaha khul kar tu bhi hansti thi
jaha muskura mein bhi leta tha
jaha teri badmashiyo mein
bacha me bhi bann leta tha
jaha naachti tu thi aur jhumta me tha
jaha bachon si ladhai aur dil ka mehal tha
jaha na kabhi dur hone ka dar
na adhuri koi aas thi
jaha sath beshumar tha aur poori har saans thi
jaha rote rote hans dete the hum
na koi fikar ki bat thi
jaha ghanton batein karte the hum
ghadi ki sui na humare sath thi
Aa laut chalein apne ghar
Bht lamba hogaya yeh safar
Jaha tera kam se ana tha
Phr mujhko gale lagana tha
Jaha teri bematlab ki baton me
Mera kahn gum hojana tha
jaha har sapna jee rahe the hum
jaha nahi thi kisi ki koi sharam
jaha dikhawa koso tak na tha
har jagah tha bass pagal pan
Aa laut chalein apne ghar
Bht lamba hogaya yeh safar
jaha jhagde bhi suljhe se the
jaha ansun bhi uljhe se the
jaha hothon pe muskan bhi thi
jaha ankhein kuch naadan bhi thi
jaha nanhe kadmon ki awaz bhi thi
jaha lori ki chankar bhi thi
jaha ghungru si tumari payal bhi thi
jaha kangan ki awaz bhi thi
jaha hansta hua tera chehra bhi tha
jaha ghurti meri ankhein bhi thi
jaha band woh darwaze bhi the
jaha do **** ek jaan bhi the
Aa laut chalein na apne ghar
waqai bht lamba ** gaya yeh safar....
waqai bht lamba hogaya yeh safar..!!!

Tum bheegna chahti thi baarish me hanth me hanth pakadkar,
Tum aana chahti thi jindagi me meri khushi bankar,
Chahti thi tum kabhi k mai tumoo baahon me bhar loo,
Sona chahti thi tum mere seene pe sar rakh kar,
Kha tumne hi ek din tha k tham lo haanth tum mera jindagi bhar k liye,
Mujhe bas apna bana lo tum aane vaale har pal k liye,
Har baar dil ko mere sunahre sapnr dikhaye tumne,
Kabhi mere haanthon ko choomkar to kabhi hanthon me haanth pakadkar,
Inkar tumko bhi nahi tha k tumhe mujhse mohabbat hai,
Sirf mujhko hi nahi tumhe bhi mujhse utni hi mohabbat hai,
Tumhar bhi kabhi khwahish thi k baal sanwaroo mai tumhare,
Ungliyon se pajadkar kaan k paas le jaaun sare,
Saath bitayen jindagi baant le har muskurahat aur ansoo aapas me hi saare,
Magar tanha is dil ko ehsaas hua jab toota ye sapna,
Meri khatao se rooth kar rukh mod liya tumne jab apna,
Ab na baaki rah gayi jafa koi,
Tumhe vaapas bulane ki,
Tum mujhse door ** gayi ** chahat todkar apni,
Tum mujhse rooth jati ** ku vaade bhoolkar sare,
Ijaajat tumne hi di thi tumko satane ki,
Satata aaj b nahu hu,
Khata fir bhi ** jaati hai,
Chalo ek baar aa jao,
Na mujhse door tum jao,
Gunah mere kiye saare ,
Bhulakar dil ki ranjish ko paas aa jao tum mere,
Samajh jao dil ki tadpan ko nigahen mujhse na fero,
Aaajao is baar pyaar me kar le milkar k vaade sare poore,
Jo meri nasamjhi se abhi tak rah gaye adhoore,
Paas tum aa jao mere paas tum aa jao mere,
Ek tum hi to ** meri koi aur nahi kareeb shiva ek pyaar k tere.
I love u

Ibabaon sa limot ang inaasam
Sa pagpikit ng mata'y di mapakali
Ang malikot na lagyo dumikit
sa kumot na pantabon
Nahihiya na makita na duguan
Alisan sana ng pandamdam
Sa karsel masilip ang sulat
Di maipalabas sa kinalalagyan
Inekisan ang mga araw noong sa bilangguan
Sona ng mag-uumpisang kalbaryo
Nakiusap na madala ng hangin
Ang Antigong pag-ibig ay kumukurap
Madudulas ang babaeng di marunong makiramdam
Matisod nang kanyang malaman
Naaagnas nang labing-isang taon,
Maghihintay hanggang sa malagutan
Ibahin ang pananaw sa sanlibutan
Mga bagay na nakakasiya ay ito rin ang sanhi ng paglagapak
Hayaan ang oras na lumipas
Maghintay sa uusbong na babala
Bago dumating sa hantungan ay gumala
Kailan mailadlad ang dahilan ng pananangis
Sa tuwing sumisipol, sumisingit ang rekyem
Kung may siruhia't kapalit sa nabasag na pangarap
ay madaling ngumiti kahit na kay pait

[Praying] Ka leina la Ntate,la Morwa le la moya o o galalelang
Amen!
She cried while praying
For she never ever in her history felt this way
One could say it was tears of joy and love:
[Praying] Modimo ntate ke rata go go leboga fa okile wa ntshegofatsa ka neo ya motho yo o gapile pelo yame,ke raya sona serunkgi sa pelo yame.Ke lebogela lerato,boikobo le tlotlo yo o mo neileng yona.Ke lebogela fa o mo tlisiitse mo botshelong bame.
Amen!
At the other hand one could say it was tears of fear:
[Praying]Modimo wame yo ke mo rapelang bosigo le motshegare ke wena o itseng maikaelelo a gagwe mo gonna ka jalo kopa o mpontshe tsela gore ka nnete ke ena yo a tshwanetseng pelo yame.
Amen!
Since day one she made sure that she never skipped a day without looking for the answers from the one Above.
She prayed and prayed and prayed and she is still praying not only for her or him but for them:
[Praying]Modimo yo ke mo rapelang bosigo le motshegare,Modimo yo ntirelang ntho tsotlhe ke ipaya pele gago keleng ngwana wa gago mo se sebaka go go kopa gore o babalele kamano ya rona, fa ele ena motho yo ke moratang gape ke batla go tshela le ena.
Amen!
She is really praying, hoping and trusting that this relationship will last.
You should see her when she talks to him
You should see her when his name lights up on her phone
You should see her when she talks about him
You should see her when she hears his name
You should see her when she sees him
You should see her smile when she thinks of him
You should see her
She becomes….
She becomes happy
She is in love
She loves him
She doesn't want to lose him
Her love for him begins at forever and ends at never.

Khoobsoorti sadaf ki be misaal hoti hai....
Raaz hai uska jo chipa us mein ek moti hai.....
Sadaf ke do pat gar misaal e miya biwi hain...
Unki shadi ka rishta hi woh chipa moti hai...
Naazuk magar bohot woh baareek taar hota hai. ....
Jo us moti ko bana ke haar apne mein pirota hai...
Lamhe se lamha judta hai to ek zindagi banti hai...
Aur do zindagiyan milti hai to ek shadi ki ladi banti hai...
Qadam se qadam milane mein khud ki pehchaan bhi khoti hai...
Alag se rang mein rangi phir shaksiyat dono ki nikharti hai....
Azwaji zindagi ke kuch apne masale bhi hote hain...
Kaanton se bhari raahon mein paththar bhi biche hote hain....
Zakhm in rahon par chal kar zaroor hasil hote hain...
Tab woh dono hi to ek duje ka marham hote hain...
17 saalon mein maine to bas itna hi seekha hai....
Hai woh kaamyaab rishta mohabbat se jisko seecha hai...
Sona chandi jis tarah ek aurat ko sajata hai...
Pyar o ehteraam waise hi rishte ko banata hai...
Wafa ka bhi to ek bohot ehm muqaam hota hai...
Qaayam uske dam pe hi to aitmaad hota hai....
Kuch aise hi to daqeeq yeh uroosi rishte hote hain....
Beinteha mohabbat se jinhe in jodon ne seechein hain...
25 o 50 salon ka yeh safar e taweel mubarak ** ..
Aapko yeh khoobsurat qaid e hayaat mubarak ** ..
Dua karti hain "Ain" laa zawal mausam e ulfat **
Masrur rahe hayaat, har lamha pur rifaqat **

My Apologies, Sona
by Gulzar
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
My apologies, Sona,
if traversing my verse's terrain
in these torrential rains
inconvenienced you.
The monsoons are unseasonal here.
My poems' pitfalls are sometimes sodden.
Water often overflows these ditches.
If you stumble and fall here, you run the risk
of spraining an ankle.
My apologies, however,
if you were inconvenienced
because my dismal verse lacks light,
or because my threshold's stones
interfered as you passed.
I have often cracked toenails against them!
As for the streetlamp at the intersection,
it remains unlit ... endlessly indecisive.
If you were inconvenienced,
you have my heartfelt apologies!
Come!
by Gulzar
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Come, let us construct night
over the monumental edifice of silence.
Come, let us clothe ourselves in the winding sheets of darkness,
where we'll ignite our bodies' incandescent wax.
As the midnight dew dances its delicate ballet,
let us not disclose the slightest whispers of our breath!
Lost in night's mists,
let us lie immersed in love's fragrance,
absorbing the musky aromas of our bodies!
Let us rise like rustling spirits ...
Old Habits Die Hard
by Gulzar
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
The habit of breathing
is an odd tradition.
Why struggle so to keep on living?
The body shudders,
the eyes veil,
yet the feet somehow keep moving.
Why this journey, this restless, relentless flowing?
For how many weeks, months, years, centuries
shall we struggle to keep on living, keep on living?
Habits are such strange things, such hard things to break!
Inconclusive
by Gulzar
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
A body lies on a white bed—
dead, abandoned,
a forsaken corpse they forgot to bury.
They concluded its death was not their concern.
I hope they return and recognize me,
then bury me so I can breathe.

I think I'll never ever make this right
Cuz cupid gave me bad advice
He told me she will love u back but all she do is fake n fight
He told me id c heaven's gates n all I saw was vacant eyes
Would hurt her if it helped me cope but that means nothing in my life

I never knew
you thought of
me
as beautiful.
Til the night you played me
your scratched record.
It skipped
it was filled with d is sona nce
It had no consistency
but its consistency of cacophonies.
Others would have
thrown the record away,
unable to bear its e
rra
tic ways.
Others would have said it's Broken.
Unfixable.
A disaster.
Too much.
;
But you ,
you weren't like the others.
You did not want to throw away the scratched record;
you did not even want to take the scratched record to a repair shop,
for you ,
you somehow seemed to find
a harmony in the scratched record.
So you closed your eyes to the endless loop of the scratched record
and said It was the most beautiful song you've ever heard
Because to you,
The most beautiful
are the most broken.

Saŝa serĉas saĝan ŝercon.
Ŝi volas servi verse ĝin.
Vi aŭskultu. Ne tumultu.
Solve buŝeliĝos rid'.
Lucas looks for janky jokes.
It may not matter if they might seem daft.
The phrases turn; the poet's spoke.
He wonders which will laugh at last.
pilin mi li wile musi.
toki mi li tawa ona.
sina kute li pilin mute.
o pilin sona e toki pona.

mani li pana e wawa lawa jan.
wawa seme li suli?
ni li sona mani.
Some say that knowledge is power.
Others say that money is power.
Who is right?
Knowledge grants power over the self.
Money grants power over others.
But which power is greatest?
Knowledge of Money.

Teri yaad mein jab bhi kho jaata ***
Toh kuchh der ke liye so jata ***
Aur suna hai ki sona maut hai
Isliye kuchh der ke liye mar jata ***

Pita hi Mera abhimaan hai,
Pita se hi meri jaan hai,
Pita se hi meri shaan hai.
Pita ke bina,
Ghar mai rahna
bhi soona hai.
Pita ke bina,
liya gya na lagta
apna khilona hai.
Pita ke bina,
Zindagi ki khushi
bhi
lagta rona hai.
Pita ke sang,
Sukhi roti bhi sona hai.
