The Lone Warrior, a Poem in Serbian by Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer & Translated from English by Prof. Ljiljana Samardžić

-

USAMLJENI RATNIK

Nebo podrhtava
Sunce je užasnuto
Moje ime je na svakoj,
najsitnijoj čestici stvaranja.
Mukla tišina vlada.
Osvojio sam vaskoliki svijet.
Ipak, tako sam usamljen
dok lutam u potrazi za njom
svuda, u svim pravcima!

Bez nje,
sve moje pobjede su
bez svrhe,
bez cilja,
beskorisne,
besmislene,
bez značenja!!

Ne želim ja cijeli svijet;
Želim samo da ona bude sa mnom!!!

THE LONE WARRIOR

The sky is shaking
The sun is horrified
My name is 
on each and every particle of creation
Pin-drop silence prevails
I've conquered the whole world,
Yet I'm so lonely
Wandering in search of her 
in all directions!

Without her,
all victories are purposeless
pointless
useless
senseless 
meaningless!!

I don't want the whole world;
I wish she'd be with me!!!

The Magic of Translation : Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer

-

When she translates my poems into her mother tongue, She captures the essence of my words so true, She translates my emotions, my deepest sighs, And brings my heart to life in her own guise. I think when she translates my work with care, She sits within my heart, with love to share. She captures me, my words, my feelings, my soul, And brings them forth in a language that makes me whole. When we meet face to face someday, I'll ask her, with a curious way: "Are you a magician, with a special might?" "Or is your heart a kindred spirit, connected to mine in sight?" [The poem is a heartfelt tribute to the exceptional talent and dedication of Prof. Ljiljana Samardžić, a renowned Serbian translator and dear friend. Her remarkable ability to translate poetry has not only bridged cultural divides but also forged a deep bond between us. With profound admiration and gratitude, I dedicate this poem to her.] - Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer  (Editor: Micropoetry Cosmos) Fatehpur, U...
