Gazal 是我的朋友. 他已不年輕.

他是一位很成功的商人, 有一雙出色的兒女, 他曾有個幸福的家庭.

然而幸福似乎總是匆匆. 妻子嚴重的產後憂鬱摧毀了他的夢.

妻子從那以後再沒有恢復.

他獨自把兒女養大.

同時照顧着已迷失了靈魂的妻子.

但他從未喪失對生活的熱望.

Gazal詩中寫的全是他的真實的精神生活. 所以他的詩非常打動我. 打動我的倒不是這些詩的藝術造詣, 而是詩中強烈的感情.

他的痛苦不是少年人的無病呻吟, 他的熱情甚至讓少年人望塵莫及.

如果你也有一顆善感的心, 就讓我們一起聆聽他心中的聲音.

Abyss

Gazal

When the soul traverses to the abyss of death
the arrogant body becomes a decayed corpse.

When a beloved becomes a memory
that roams with immortal angels.

When survivors choke with guilt
happiness becomes forbidden.

When sadness shrouds them with dark clouds
fate commits them to certain loneliness.

Then, and only then, do they remember well
the love they've lost to eternal emptiness.

深淵

當魂魄滑入死寂的深淵,
高貴的軀體便如腐屍一般.

當愛人攜天使之手, 漸行漸遠,
空留下回憶與惘然.

當痛責滿溢生者心間,
幸福怎能與之結緣?

當悲哀象烏雲緊緊糾纏,
註定的命運是孤單.

到那時, 唯有到那時,
才會真正明了:
寂寥恆久遠,
伊人永不還.

Festering Wounds

Gazal

You've permeated my soul again,
and spread your many arms,
to reach my festering wounds,
cut with the blind sword of love,
that slashes the hearts of those who love,
but skips the hearts of those beloved.

傷潰

你再次擊穿我的靈魂,
張牙舞爪地撲向我的傷痕,
全不顧有那膿血在滲.

你盲目揮舞着愛的利刃.
給愛的人體無完膚,
被愛的人卻毫髮無損.

Dreadful Dream

Gazal

Who is that stranger in the mirror?
He has grown frail; he has no teeth.
He doesn't remember that he had been a poet.
He has no passion and has lost his hope.
Why is he staring at me?
Oh God, please awaken me.

噩夢

這鏡里的陌生人, 啊, 他是誰?
他癟着掉光了牙的嘴,
虛弱得搖搖欲墜.
難道這就是那曾經的詩人?
他熱情已化灰,
絕望如影隨.
為何他這樣盯着我?
天啊, 快把我從噩夢裡喚回.

In The Candle Light

Gazal

Tonight I will lay a long-stemmed rose before me.
I will see you in the swaying flame of the candle
that lights my table without you.
My mouth is salivating for the love bites you feed me.
I will set two glasses on the table,
but I won't drink.
I am already intoxicated with you.
my soul is waiting for yours,
and I hear it knocking on the window.

燭光

今夜我要折一枝長玫瑰,
燭光里有你的面容搖曳,
桌面灑滿清輝,
只是身邊坐的沒有誰.
我貪婪地吞咽,
你賜予的愛之水.
桌上兩杯醇香的酒,
但我無意品味.
因我早已為你沉醉,
我的魂期盼與你的靈交匯,
聽, 此刻, 它正輕扣我的心扉.

五律 枚映燭光
(譯詩)
By: 麗江月夜

桌上一枝枚，
燭前靜待誰?
清輝搖麗影，
美酒醉高杯。

情灑思難止，
魂牽魄已飛。
聽君傾喃語，
似扣我心扉。

Moonlight

Gazal

I feel love in my heart,
and rapture in my soul.
Like laughter in my mind,
and moonlight in your eyes.

I've waited way too long,
for sweetness of your kind,
Take me in your world,
and show me how to dream.

Let's climb on satin sheets,
at shades of candle flames.
Let's mingle in tenderness,
to sounds of happy flutes.

I'll pour you all my wine,
and sing you all my songs.
I'll hold you in my arms,
and love you all night long.

月光

我心漲滿愛潮,
我魂直上雲霄.
你眼中閃爍的月光,
似笑聲在我耳際縈饒.

我已等得太長太長,
你風姿獨具的姑娘.
請帶我到你的世界,
帶我到那甜美的夢鄉.

讓我們展開清涼的絲衾,
躲進紅燭的暖影,
讓我們溫柔地纏繞,
譜一曲輕快的笛鳴.

我將傾我所有的酒,
我會唱盡所有的歌.
我要竟夜擁着你,
那管欲曉的, 耿耿星河.
