URDU POET ALI SARDAR JAFRI (1913-2000) AND THE ANCIENT WISDOM OF THE SACRED  VEDAS .

Urdu Poet Ali Sardar jafri was a Great admirer of the ancient wisdom of the SACRED VEDAS . In a poem titled “VED E MUQADUSS” he wrote ….

.

(Ved e Muqaduss )

Shaoor e Insaan ke Aaftaab e Azeem ki Awaleen shuaayein,

Jo Lahn o Awaaz ban Gayee hain,

Voh Awaleen Aalam e Tahhayur,

Zameen Kyaa hai ?

Aasmaan Kyaa hai ?

Sitaare kyon Jagmagaa rahe hain,

Tahhayur ek Naghmaa e Mussalsal

Tahhayur ek Raqs e Vaalihaana ,

Tahhayur ek Fiqr e Aarifaana ,

Koyee hai Khaaliq to voh Kahaan hai ?

Aghar Nahin hai to Phir yeh Kyaa hai ?

Yeh dil Mein Kiss ke Noor ki Ziyaa hai ?

Bashar ka jalwaa hai Ya Khudaa hai ?

( Ali Sardar Jafri )

I have tried to render this great poem to simple English as under …

( The sacred Vedas )

Those first rays of the beaming Sun of Human consciousness ,

That which is sound’s melody now ,

That earliest Marvel ,

What is this world all about ?

What is that sky over us ?

Why do these stars shine in the skies ?

And these spectacles  coming like

An uninterrupted song ,

A dignified dance ,

Or like a Spiritual thought in self study.

Who is the Creator ?

And Where is he ?

If he is nowhere around ,then

What is this all about ?

Whose splendour lies inside this heart ?

Is it a Mortal charisma

or the presence of the creator himself ?
