Thank you for sharing some excellent poetry of Shaikh Ayaz. It embarasses me to admit that I had never read his poetry. Occasionally, during my university days the name of Shaikh Ayaz used to come up but sadly I never looked around to learn and understand his work.

Both the translations are remarkable; simple truth and huge emotional content. I wonder why we have failed to respect our writers and poets? Are we really several hundred years off in our social evolution and therefore do the things which the other, these days developed, world left far behind?

I feel there is a strong need to encourage writing, all type of writing, regardless of the content and even quality, not to mention leaning/affiliation. We need to facilitate the written expression of our thoughts our fears and our dreams. I guess Internet is going to do that...

Mr Abro, thanks for sharing this excellent piece of work. I admit this is my first exposure to Poet Ayaz but I`ve already fallen in love with his poetry of the 5th dimension.
Thanks again!
