“Echo”
Winding pathway on high mountains,
Standing there is a diminutive shepherd boy,
Looking at a baby goat sliding,
He laughs in such a way
That from each and every crevice of the valley
Cascades erupt!
Parveen Shakir (24 November 1952 - 26 December 1994)
Translated from the Urdu by M.S. Alverston, 02/26/11.
