Uncommon Translation

by Mohammad Zahid

Shall I punch in

Words that fill gaps

Of a faraway origin

And ask for a translation

in my own?

Sharp symbols would join

as a train of thoughts

showing forms unknown

till now

as phantoms

on a mind’s background.

Words run, jump

As joyous kids play

Around in a playground

Translating, again and again

Forming unusual forms

Full of joy.

My words swing back

As mist through a cold night

Waiting for morning

As light shows its form

Tantalizing diamonds on grass tips

With rays of vibgyor all around.

I think

Of a translation

Of words without knowing

I know symbols, but!!
