Haram aur dair ke katbey wo dekhey - �Seemab� Akbarabadi

Haram aur dair ke katbey wo dekhey jis ko fursat hai,
Yahaan hadd-e-nazar tak sirf unwaan-e-muhabbat hai;

Parastaar-e-muhabbat ki muhabbat hi shariyat hai,
Kisi ko yaad kar ke aah kar lenaa ibaadat hai;

Ho ek kiradaar tum bhi merey mamool-e-muhabbat ka,
Mujhe tumse nahin apni muhabbat se muhabbat hai;

Wo kya sajda ? rahe ehsaas jismein sar uthaane ka,
Ibaadat aur ba-qaid-e-hosh tauheen-e-ibaadat hai;

Meri dewaangi pe hosh waale bahas farmaaein,
Magar pahle unhein deewana ban�ne ki zaroorat hai;

Maqaam-e-ishq ko har aadmi �seemab� kya samjhe,
Ye hai ek martabaa, jo maawara-e-aadmiyat hai..!!!

~ Hazrat �Seemab� Akbarabadi Sahab

Lucan: Opening to his Epic on the Civil War (From Latin)

I have recently finished reading (for the first time in its entirety) Lucan's unfinished epic Bellum Civile " The Civil War." I found it extraordinary. When I had finished, I wanted to translate the entire thing. Though I quickly realized that I hadn't the time or the resources to do so without the task taking several years. So I have selected a few excerpts from the Bellum Civile that I think read well on their own, and have added these to my translation queue. Starting with this part here from the poem's opening. You can see a list of the planned excerpts on my table of contents (list of translated poems.) Opening to his Epic on the Civil War (1.1-82) By Lucan Translated by A.Z. Foreman I sing of war far worse than civil war waged in the nasty fields of Thessaly, of crime gone legal, of a powerful state that disemboweled itself with victory's sword, of family front lines 1 ; how when the pact of tyranny imploded, all the forces of a concussed w

Rumi's "Popular Versions" in Their Original Farsi Scripts

I've been receiving numerous emails requesting the original Farsi or Persian verses of Rumi's very famous and often quoted English "Versions" which are "translated" by the popular Rumi "version makers", particularly the incomparable Coleman Barks who has single-handedly made Maulana Jalaluddin Balkhi Rumi a household name here in our beloved America. In some instances, it's virtually impossible to find Rumi's original Farsi verses, mainly due to non-Persian speaking 'version makers' not providing a reference to the original Rumi verses in their famous new-agey translation works. Coleman Barks, the foremost Rumi translator and "version maker", not only openly admits, but also calls his Rumi translations as "versions," or "re-renderings" because he doesn't read Farsi: �Of course, as I work on these poems, I don�t have the Persian to consult. I literally have nothing to be faithful to, except wha
