Translation 2.

I too am a mad lover in this world of mad love in the madest way.

I Shall leave you a story from the store house of thought in the most thoughtful way.

This city of thieves has been stolen from by their brother-hood.

I too am seeking for a stranger from among the strangest men, in this strange world, in the strangest way.

The whole world playing the same strange note of the same musical mystery.

So little insane man, what are thinking in this world of insanity in the most insane way?

Beloved's eyes so enchanting, so divine; stab the weak heart, unarmed.

This must be too, some strange tool from beloved's strangest weapons.

Yon nightingale, when she embraces beloved fire, burning her heart.

There must be such a lover among these lovers with the loveliest of faces.

These wise men with wise sayings. Do I care about them? They know not even where they stand.

The man I admire must be somewhere, the sanest one among the sanest saints with the fairest face.

These long lost people, looking for someone to walk beside, to guide and to live with for an eternity.

And I, I'm seeking for (something) human-like,  from among those (who are) human-faced, in a human way.

By my father.

Author's Note

Another translation of my father's poem. I would like to thank Mr. Richard Man for helping me correct the grammar and make the poem better.

First, I think it is very admirable that you translate the words of your Father. That is very respectful for you to do. I am sure he feels very honored that you do that for him. Next, I find the statements and thoughts expressed very interesting. What I read in this is his desire to find an honorable man to stand beside in a noble cause.

This really is wonderful. I saved this poem too! It was a bit hard to understand in the beginning but I got the flow of it soon enough. One of my favourites for sure! xx

[David Scott]

I could recognize this as the same pen after just one read before. This one did not translate quite as well, but it shoes the same logic path.
I enjoyed the write.

[quinfinn]

your father holds a powerful quill within his hand and makes the strokes of poetry in a most persuasive way, however, i feel it is your translations which deserve some praise here as well. and so i give kudos to both of you. well done.

[Mehak Mushtaq]

[Richard Man]

The stanza concerning the city of theives needs looking at .... almost makes sense but grammatically is not as good as the others so it stands out as being incongruent. I can help if you want? Great poem nevertheless... it sounds like the synopsis of a spiritual journey ... an epic.

[Mehak Mushtaq]

Oh. Yes, please. It would be great if you help me correct it.
