SECRET
Arvindo Gigoo
(Original Kashmere, Arjan Der Majboor)
This hidden secret is my treasure.
Why lift the veil!
Each moment
is
a dance of the mountains.
Each moment
is
a torque.
The noisy world is fleeting.
The thread
my path
is a labyrinth,
a maze.
Time laughs a laugh.
Colour gives out fragrance.
What a miracle!
People have forgotten
that
autumn set in early.
Forgetfulness is prison for some.
The silence of the night and
its solitude
are a hope for the morning.
This hidden secret is my treasure.
Why lift the veil!
(Original Kashmiri: Arjan Dew Majboor
translated from Kashmiri)
