Pashto Poem By Afzal Shauq

"Muska"

Yawa
Khwaga ghundy muska
Ka cherta
Las ta kawalay shi ikhtyar da zruno
No
Da topak pa khulay khabary sa la??

--Afzal Shauq.

~Smile~

If
A quiet
Friendly smile
Can
Gain control
Over the hearts

Then
Why let the guns talk?

~Muskurahat~

Agar
Aik mitthi si
Be-awaz muskurahat
Logon ke dilon ko
Taskhir kar sakti hai,
To
Bandoq ko Bolnay kion dain?

Wafi, I think this is excellent, so much meaning in so few words always packs a punch for me. your translation does the poet proud I'm sure (I recognise the name, does he post here?) Also, if you don't mind me asking, do you write much in Pashto yourself (and then translate to post), or mostly English? Brilliant little poem, much love Beki xx

Manena Beki

Manena Beki, for reading and making such a seweet comment. So glad you liked it. Yeah Beki, this poet, Afzal Shauq, posts his translated poems on Neopoet. He is a well known poet among the Pashtun community both in Afghanistan(Pashto is the national language of Afghanistan) and Pakistan. He has published six books in Pashto language, consisting of poetry, novel and travelogues. Some of his poetry work is translated by American writer "Alley Bolling", and been published as "The Twist Of Fate". Afzal Shauq posts the translated poems from "The Twists Of Fate" on neopoet. His account is http://www.neopoet.com/Afzal-Shauq . I love his work a lot. Yeah Beki I write in Pashto as well. But usually I dont translate my every poem into English. Majority of my poems on Neopoet is my original work in English, while some of the poems are translated from my Pashto poetry, which I thought would be good if I tranlsate them into English, inorder to convey the same message to the world which I share with my own people. For example my poem "Heaven On Fire"( http://www.neopoet.com/node/21982 ) which I wrote about the Internally Displaced People of Swat, first wrote in Pashto language, then its translation in Enlgish and also in Urdu, inorder to reach more people. Thanks a lot dear Beki. Your loving comments always fill my heart with happiness and gratitude. Love, Wafi "Culture, location and beliefs; All vanish with love!" ~Afzal Shauq~

Thank You So Much Nina

Thank you so much Nina, for the translation. In the Pashto version of this poem the title refers to "Smile" (noun). Loved your suggestion of translating it into other languages. I translated it into two more languages, Urdu and Persian. I told Afzal Shauq about your German translation of it. He is glad and thankful to you. Shauq wants to include the German and other translation of this poem in a book, "The peace wisher Afzal Shauq", which is going to be published in Canada, which is a world wide critique about Shauq's work. Shuaq was asking me if you have posted the German translaion of it in any German websites? If you have, then please provide me the links so that he include them in his coming book. You can read Shauq's books online, or download them, follow the link please http://khyber.org/books/ashauq/index.shtml P.S; The 5 stars rating(Awesome) is for Ana's idea and yours great suggestions that you have always blessed me with......

Wafi,Please let’s do

Wafi, Please let's do SOMETHING.... i don't know about your needs Wafi, but i'm sure most poets are not rich... perhaps any profit from the teeshirts could be donated to a NEOPOETS FOR PEACE...or _________________ I may know some entrepreneurs who would be willing to undertake this... but legalities etc. What if I make some inquiries... one of the poets/entrepreneurs I have in mind is Larry Jaffe, International Human Rights Poet Laureate with the UN... We're old friends from his old poetry group, Poets For Human Rights, where I'm listed as a peace poet... or another group called ProPeace... Much love, It needs to be in every language on earth...

Where are all the other bilingual people?

We don't have translations into French or Spanish, for instance, but I am quite sure that we have members who speak those languages. I can try in French, hope it's grammatically correct: Sourire Si une sourire doucement et aimable peut gagner les coeurs des gens, pourquoi faire les fusils parler? Note: I haven't really spoken any French for 10 years, so there might be an error or two in there. I'd love to see a Hebrew version, but I'm hopeless at grammar when it comes to Hebrew (same goes for Spanish and Russian, by the way), but I could at least try. Yours, ~Nina
