巴瓦尼•尚卡尔•奈尔[印度] 诗三首【英汉对照，考斐 译】

Bhawani Shankar Nial [India]

It’s a Lie Today (and other two poems)

At times I leap

over the hills of light

and search darkness,

but in my journey to darkness

when I look back

I find the light disappear

and even I do not find

the darkness in my fist.

Sometimes

the light becomes dark

and dark turns to light

and the things which were

true tomorrow

seems to be false today.

I feel proud

to create a world of my own

but the earned darkness is

not under my control today

though the pride became

my habit in the annals of time,

the light too is

not under my control.

The eternal truth

is that there's always

a distance between

the truth and the lie.

I Have to Die One Day

I was in sheer oblivion

As to

I have to die

At an auspicious hour,

For stuck I was

In the tangles

Of household life

Of ephemeral affairs.

A pious realm,

No less than my mother land

Where I was born

And earned

Many a name and defame,

Where I have to die

Searching

And selecting time,

But, alas! I have forgotten

Of my doom,

Getting stuck

With mundane mire.

Meanwhile

There came

For meeting

Some beloveds

Of mine,

Old and new as well;

Some displayed

Their attractive figure

And attire,

The other with

The articulations on

The philosophy and

Definition of life;

The mystery

Of birth and death.

Soon after

Their departure

There appeared

My friends and foes

Rather quite familiar ;

My days got devoured

With their discourse

And directions

On confronting life's

New challenges

And affairs..

Thus dwindling

Were my seconds, hours

And aeons

Of my mundane

And ascetic life;

Eventually oblivious

I was of my death

At an auspicious hour

Before you all...

The Speed of that Train

The train moved

so fast that

I could not probe deep into

the unfothomable sea

and could not make out

how the tides generate power

or

how many boats float

on the serene water

or

how the little fishes and

the sea-whales jump over

every now and then

and how in a moment

disappear into the water.

The distance of time

the train travelled

since its birth through

the shrill sound of its whistle

declares it's horoscope.

That primitive train runs

at a speed of its own time

blowing the antique whistle.

The train was so fast that

I could not even see

the farmers who were working in the field

at the feet of the hills

who battled for the

making of a nation,

I could not also feel

the long tradition of pain

which became their religion.

During my long journey

I could not even meet

the princes who

reign over the land of hills

with its flora and fauna,

who considered to be the

most beautiful lady

of the world,

who comes out of her

palace of caves

once in a year

in the winter to sprinkle

smiles everywhere.

The speed of the train and

its long whistle

was quite unknown to

the co-travellers who

were aliens to the land.

Amidst the deafened noise

of the train

I could not see my inner being

and know my very existence

The train was so fast that

it even travelled the

time ahead of its time.

巴瓦尼•尚卡尔•奈尔[印度]

今天是个谎言（外二首）

有时我跳跃

越过光明的山丘

探索黑暗

但在通往黑暗的旅途中

我回望时

发现光明不复存在

甚至我也找不到

拳头中的黑暗。

有时

光明变成黑暗

黑暗变成光明

而那些

明天是真的

今天似乎是假的。

我感到自豪

创造属于自己的世界

但赢得的黑暗

今天却无法为我控制

尽管自豪已成为

时间册中的习惯

光明也

不受我的控制。

永恒的真理

永远是

真相与谎言之间

总有一段距离

我总有一天会死

我被彻底遗忘

至于

我必须死

在一个吉祥的时刻

因为纠缠不清的

家务事儿

和那些短暂的事

困住了我。

这是个虔诚的国度

正如我的祖国

我在那里出生

获得的

既有名声又有诽谤，

我必须在那里死去

寻找

选择时间

但是，唉！我忘记了

我的厄运

已陷入

世俗的泥潭。

同时

还会有

我心爱的人

来相会

我的爱人

也有老友新友

有些人展示了

她们迷人的身材

和服饰，

还有些

表达着

对生命的看法

和哲理；

生与死的

奥秘。

他们离开后

不久

我的朋友和敌人

出现了

我非常熟悉他们

我的日子被吞噬

带着他们的谈话

和指导

面对生活的

新的挑战

和琐事

因而我的一分一秒

慢慢耗尽

和我平凡

而苦行的

一生；

最终被磨灭

我面临的死亡

在一个吉祥的时刻

在你们面前……

火车的速度

火车行驶

如此之快

我竟无法深入到

那深不可测的大海

也搞不清

潮汐是如何产生动力的

或是

究竟有多少船只

漂浮在宁静的水面上

或是

小鱼和

海鲸是如何

时不时地跳起来

又是如何在一瞬间

消失在水中的。

时间的距离

火车自诞生之日起

穿梭在

尖锐的汽笛声中

宣告着它的星象。

这辆原始的火车

以自己的速度

吹响古色古香的汽笛。

火车速度之快

我甚至捕捉不到

在山脚下

田间劳作的农民

为国家的建立

而奋斗的百姓

我也感受不到

痛苦的漫长岁月

而这已成为他们的信仰。

在我漫长的旅途中

我甚至见不到

那些

统治着这片

满是动植物的山丘

的王子们

他们是

世界上

最美丽的女人

从她的地盘中

每年一次

在冬天

到处留下微笑。

火车的速度和

长长的汽笛声

对同行者们

十分陌生

他们是这片土地上的异乡人。

在震耳欲聋的

火车轰鸣中

我看不到自己的内心

也不清楚自己的存在

火车是如此之快

它甚至穿越了

早于时间的时间。
