My luggage!

My luggage is laid in empty room,
Secretly hidden are some wishes;
Relics of dreams lay safely there,
Some flowers hidden unwillingly;
Spirit kept searching for a friend—!
My pride strolled hither and thither;
But, scent of my soil didn’t ascend!
My pride dishonored in alien’s land;
A lamp of hope, lighted in eerie
Eyes, in murky, gloomy nights;
The body thawed like mud in water
Discoloring colors, in monsoon rain;
The door’s kept open for you——-
My luggage is laid in empty room!
Composed by Shaista Farrukh Mufti
Translated by, Tanveer Rauf

Dark secrets, dashed hopes – all stored in an “empty” room.

Mrs Rauf this is a marvelous beyond my expectations !! i feel that u enter my heart and see all those hurt that has f been lying there hidden for so long , to be very honest i have given up any hope of healing , but when ever u do a translation of any of my work u give me a feeling that there is some one out there who knows my sufferings , how do u do it is a mystery ,

“Some flowers hidden unwillingly”
“The body thawed like mud in water” — I am staggered by the beauty and depths in these two lines.
When words morph from the soul into ink, and from languages into meanings — the true essence of them are often lost. However, this is one poem I have come across by far that must have been translated with the same eloquence, as when it was birthed first on the writer’s soul.
Shaista Farrukh Mufti, Tanveer Rauf — such fine work, my fine ladies.
So glad to have found this gem!

Thank you for your reply. I´m not upset at all, this is a letter about a Copyright or DMCA issue we are having here. I think it´s better to inform before taking any legal meassure. I do not have any problems with the poetry itself, but it is illegal to use my copyrighted artwork to display your friend´s work. My work is not stock to be modified… if it were, we would have to discuss the payment. You have the original link that prooves it is mine, http://darkdevil16.deviantart.com/art/Lonely-is-the-Night-263611659 maybe you will have to login into the Deviantart community to see it. And in the artist´s comment you may read that I do not allow any use of my work. I´m asking you to delete this photograph, because it is an unathorized misrepresentation of my work. Thanks again.
