Seasonal Scrawl | Collection

03H| Poem: Manzar (English Version) ✓

The translation cannot be done word to word else the English version won't really be even a bit poetic to read. I have tried my best to make it as poetic as possible. They may not rhyme at places though😅

Ink from pen

Rays of rising sun

Light of truth

These were what filled his life .

And then one day

He met someone.

Unbeknownst to him,

A new ray entered his life

A different shade coloured him

Adding to this collection of colours!

The fragrance of soil

The ambience of village which settled akin to peace in his heart

A smile that bloomed on his lips

In just a few meetings, she stealthily entered his heart

Oblivious was he to that fresh breeze

Which has flowed in to subtly change his monotonous life

Amidst the heat of zeal and vigour

Who is going to be the cool rain showers

Unaware was he of the fragrance of that sandalwood

Which has come to add fragrance to his life

Which has stealthily, unaware of it herself

Has entered his heart

But who has been able to escape fate

Innocent was never a word meant to describe it

And so it burst out akin to storm on their simple lives

Placing the foundation for their story!

Bound were they in a relationship

That fresh breeze on recognition wasn't beloved anymore

Because that crushed self respect just could bring in anger and nothing more!

He couldn't understand the value of the words he used which were hurting her soul

He couldn't comprehend that her brightness was diminishing bit by bit

He couldn't recognise the hurt that soul was going through

He couldn't ever know just how much pain her soft soul was facing

That shining star who's talks brightened the ambience

He couldn't see just how they got shrouded by silence!

And then came the day when fate decided to intervene

It made circumstances such that the blindfold blinding his eyes shifted

In those heavy rains, he witnessed his dew drop almost slip from the leaf

(When the drop hits the ground it splatters and 'dies', that's what is meant here)

In that one moment fear encaged his heart

His entire soul shook with its onslaught

That's when he realised he needed her to live

That's when this realisation made its place in his heart

Fate and time are witness to what happens ahead

To where they have reached and from where

For the ones who were unaware what colours their world lacked

To the ones who have together in their world, many colours unraveled

Albeit late still he recognised his heaven

Which was followed with a long path and an inevitable battle

Holding her hands, he derived strength from her gentle yet deep love

Explored her elements and motivated them

Together they walk - the companions of the same path and destination!

Today if you ask him he shall surely accept the truth - he has got for himself a unique and special diamond from the backgrounds of the ones whom society degrades each time and has caged that bound yet free bird aka her in his love and heart forever! Today he shall say looking into her eyes, to the whole world - he has got a slice of heaven for himself. Has got the maligned moon which is maligned only for others because for him the scars on her are the evidences of her sacrifices and struggles!

Love,
Pratyusha
