Sahir Ludhianvi
(1921-1980). Translated from the Hindi-Urdu by Alverston & Associates.
Page 440: “Products of the Imagination”
You were not made for this earth, or the heavens
Your existence is only for the sake of a fable nowadays
What will be accrued by looking back at our garden oasis?
That tree branch which existed for nesting no longer stands
Don’t risk all for sincerity from inside the mercenary world
Look as if this concept, that of genuineness within
partiality, was made for promised lands then, or,
these days, human innovations!
You were not made for this earth, or the heavens
Your existence is only for the sake of a fable nowadays.
Sahir Ludhianvi (1921-1980). Translated from the Hindi-Urdu by Alverston & Associates.
