MIR TAQI MIR EN ESPAÑOL

Nuestra fe en la providencia, veamos hasta cuando se queda
De esa manera la existencia, veamos hasta cuando se queda

Con ella ni promesas hay, pues en mi corazón
La inquietud por su ausencia, veamos hasta cuando se queda

Los ojos se petrificaron mirando su rastro
La espera de su apariencia, veamos hasta cuando se queda

Ya ni mirarme parece un deseo de ella
Para ella mi presencia, veamos hasta cuando se queda

Su rostro y sus trenzas son día y noche para mi
'Mir' esa diferencia, veamos hasta cuando se queda

SONNET II

Gone are you and here I burn
before these, who've come to see
the spectacle, but they won't learn
that one by one they'll follow me

You are fleeting and always have been...
The ones that stand they do not know!
An oasis, they think they have seen...
A mirage of illusions you are though!

I know that I ain't the only one
that you've hunted on your way...
Have been many who couldn't run,
on your path trembling they lay...

However, I have one solace
In flames I see your real face

--Rishiraj

SONNET I

Ah! this darkness, this endless night...
And this search that leads nowhere...
Your absence and the absence of light!
Not even death to console me there...

This abyss that I gaze into,
which stares back every now and then...
This lifeless living that I go through
will surely end, but who knows when...

Would have ended all this misery
in a single blow of my own hand;
would have cut this putrid tree,
and erased its traces from the land,

had this tree not grown for you,
had it never been own for you.

Nameless verses to my love (5)

There's a night I want to see
A full moon night when you and me

Witness the love at its final peak
Reach the oasis that we seek

Take a dip and all is done
Scars disappear one by one

Lie down in your lap then soon
I look at you, you look at moon

One with you and not a gap
Take my last breath in your lap

Nameless verses to my love (4)

With pace of life we move our feet
We dance with death on every beat
Here with sky, the earth does meet
Trust me once, just take a chance
Take my hand and join the dance

Fear is there, I understand
Fear is there while you stand
Trust me once, give me your hand
Trust me once, just take a chance
Take my hand and join the dance

A sacred dance, no one to blame
Come! And you won’t remain the same
The whole carnival in your name
Trust me once, just take a chance
Take my hand and join the dance

More than a dance, a pilgrimage
Be it a saint, be it a sage
All have danced on this stage
Trust me once, just take a chance
Take my hand and join the dance

  --Rishiraj

Nameless verses to my love (3)

Beheaded life thrown to dust,
Broken and bathed in blood.
And bruised beyond recognition… Who was he?
The warmth in the dead blood!
Perhaps he was a martyr of love,
Thrown to dust, disfigured and torn.
Yes! He is dead and now I mourn…
Not for his death, but for my life
That could not be laid instead of his…
Come! End this suffering, this endless regret…
My love let me, in your name,
Lay my life and come to grace…

  --Rishiraj

Nameless verses to my love (2)

I am…
…your shadow that never parts,
…your refuge, the darkest of hearts,
…your truth, the father of lies,
…showing the way to your oceanic eyes.
These shoulders, whenever you ask.
This face, forever your mask.
This being for you stands.
Won’t let you fall these trembling hands.
