ПРЕЖДЕ ЧЕМ РЕШИТЬСЯ (Russian Translation of Suman Pokhrel's Poem 'Nirnaya Garnuaghi/Before Making Decision')
ПРЕЖДЕ ЧЕМ РЕШИТЬСЯ
- Сума́н Похрел
В скольких умах
Мне сойти с ума?
Кто бы мне ответил?
Прыгать мне каплей
Воды,
Вытекая из желоба
И ударяясь
О землю;
Или быть твердым,
Как камень
Под желобом тем?
Как не хлещет его вода -
Камень не шелохнется.
Чьи глаза мне искать,
чтобы найти последний
безжалостный ответ?
Или
Задавать мне каждому вопрос,
Какой не следует задавать?
А, может,
Обратиться к небу
И ответить на вопрос,
Какой не был задан?
В таких условиях,
Когда приходится
постоянно сходить с ума,
чтобы только выжить,
как выбрать благоприятный момент,
чтобы спятить?
Я не обращался к головам,
Схожим с фруктом лапси*
Без косточки внутри,
Не просил благоприятного момента,
чтобы судить, как листья дерева таанки.**
Капля росы, как обычно,
Всю ночь упивалась цветком,
Смакуя алкоголь,
Обнаженный солнечный луч,
Вынурнув из реки,
Опять отвешивал поклоны.
Такое возбуждение
Вскоре сошло на нет -
Так хлопковый флис под конец
Оборачивается тучей.
Ни у кого не спросив совета,
Я сам сделался безумен,
Сидя под тем же солнцем,
Под теми же облаками.
С самого начала я знал,
Что однажды
Все сойдут с ума,
И увидят, что я в здравом уме.

ANTES DE TOMAR DECISIONES
ANTES DE TOMAR DECISIONES
por Suman Pokhrel
¿En cuántos sentidos debería volverme loco?
¿A quién debería preguntarle?
¿Debo seguir rebotando como gotas?
que saltan tras el agua
que fluye del grifo y golpea el suelo,
o permanecer paralizado
como piedra bajo el mismo grifo que a pesar de ser rebalsado
Por incesante flujo ni siquiera se mueve
¿Qué mirada debo buscar para hallar la respuesta irracional definitiva?
¿Debería hacerles a todos la pregunta que no debería haberse hecho, o debería
Mirar virando los ojos hacia el cielo
estar respondiendo la pregunta que no se ha hecho?
En esta ambiente donde tienes que volverte eternamente loco solo para sobrevivir,
¿Qué momento auspicioso debería elegir para volverme loco?
A nadie le pregunto como el corazón de las fruta no esconde semillas en su interior,
no preguntaré por un momento auspicioso
o un juicio como hojas de árbol taanki2.
como siempre pequeñas gotas de rocío
toda la noche estuve con flor deleitándome con el sabor a alcohol,
El sol desnudo de la mañana en visible adoración
después de bucear en el río
termino como un vellón de algodón que finalmente se convierte en nube.
Sin que nadie me aconseje me volví loco
sentado bajo el mismo sol y las mismas nubes.
Creí todo el tiempo que un día
todo el mundo se volvería loco sólo por verme cuerdo.

Song of Soul by Suman Pokhrel
Song of Soul
by Suman Pokhrel
May I splinter away from myself
break into whole units
and
live in each with perfection!
This ME
made whole by
combining countless fragments
could not live in any one part
with complete ease.
May I show a true model
of deconstruction to Derrida
by taking off parts that make up my being!
So that I would see
one man fallen off me
shambling down the street,
and continue to speak in assemblies
with full ignorance of the subject,
continue to review the news of the world
by stuffing them in his brain
and go yapping in the crowds
fully content in the perfection of
his inferior sphere.
The other one
brooding over the ledger books
and the personal files
of the employees.
May the next one always keep reading,
the other looking after children
and still another swimming
in love all his life.
May the other fragment – the ‘me’ whom I don’t like
remain shut somewhere in the room.
May one other splinter engage
in inner decoration of the house
and meet the hunger of needs.
If he cannot do so
may he fragment himself further
into contractors
supplying vegetables, miscellanies,
clothes, and fuels
and sorting out other mess.
May one other part
forgetting that he is my splinter
continue to clap on each stupid action
of his boss, shaking head, and
remain busy in his little puppet moves.
May the other take responsibility of
television, radio and newspapers.
May the other still stay repeating the news of
the relatives and acquaintances
fulfilling formalities of well-being
embroiling in the phatic–
where? what? how?
participating in all of sixteen rituals
and birthdays.
May the other one continue to repeat
the non-news of his immobility
and continue to go to places
where people gather,
and go doing something like that.
May I hold an assembly
of the proportional representation
of all my selves.
may I go out with the poet
by leaving all the others
in their chaotic meaningless arguments.
May my poet remain a poet
in its perfection
unattached to my domesticity
full of scarcities;
may he remain separate
from a job savvy me
who has sold his self-respect.
may my poet disengage itself
from my being
swayed by my brain.
May I discard the outer cover of time
from the layers of poetry
by immersing the poet in its entirety
within me, and
dismantle geography’s barriers.
may I break the windows of consciousness,
break further the dilapidations of waking moments
and emerge into the bright world of dream.
May life remain enamored of its own charm
may the river of love always flow from its own lap
may my pain remain drunk singing its own love songs
and the dead body of agony remain asleep
resting its head on a pillow of flowers.
may I free myself from the labyrinth of knowledge
run away from the jungle of thoughts
and jump from the hill of illusion
into the mind’s speedy currents.
by stepping on this joint of time.
may I pack all inventions in burlaps
and hide them in corners of Einsteins’ brains.
May I free myself from the ever-pressing chest
and enter the garden of imagination
by leisurely hiding brain on hill summits.
May I take off clothes covering shame at the border
leaving them hanging on dry trees of arrogance
and run by wearing the rays of the sun.
May I create plain fields by collecting clouds
and bedeck them with arching rainbows.
Playing ball of wind
reaching the other end of The Road Not Taken
may I call in Robert Frost by holding hands
and request Ginsberg to recite Howl
facing the world.
May I bet with Devkota sitting contentedly
by receiving his lord’s blessings
that you are a poet who has written epics
and win a bagful of stars.
May I exchange T.S. Eliot’s The Wasteland
with the future of this earth like a lunatic’s dreams
and make one season of poetry farming
by tilling with the pen of desire.
Oh, this ME
made with so many fragments
could not make any achievements!
May I then splinter away
from myself
and live only with the poet.

May I splinter away from myself
break into whole units
and
live in each with perfection!

made whole by
combining countless fragments

I DREAD TO THINK OF A SOCIETY DEVOID OF LOVE, COMPASSION AND HUMANITY - SUMAN POKHREL
'I DREAD TO THINK OF A SOCIETY DEVOID OF LOVE, COMPASSION AND HUMANITY'
- Suman Pokhrel
(Suman Pokhrel interviewed by Romain Molina for the book The beautiful game. Foot, guerre et politique. Des footballeurs face au destin).
.................................................................
Romain Molina - If I am correct, you're from a village near Biratnagar. Can you describe your childhood there? I imagine the situation here was/is very different from other parts of Nepal (religion, ethnic groups, India's border...)
Suman Pokhrel - I was born in Biratnagar and a part of my growing up years was spent here. I was raised by my poet grandfather and bibliophile parents. I guess it was their influence that prompted me to be attracted towards books and go on to take up writing too. Those days the religion of people across Nepal was same with very few exceptions. However, cultures and customs varied among people of different ethnicity, and living in different geographical areas. The ethnic groups in hills and plains were and are varied. As my childhood got opportunity to grow up amidst variety of geography and people practicing different cultures, I could experience the very essence of our diversity.
Romain Molina - In France, it's very rare to find someone writing poems nowadays; and it's a shame when you remember our tradition with Baudelaire, Victor Hugo, etc. Is it the same thing in Nepal or the poems are really a part of your culture?
Suman Pokhrel - The situation is very much similar here in Nepal. However, poetry is part of our culture in many ways. We have practice of reading Sanskrit verse during our religious and cultural events. Traditionally, there was practice of reciting a form of poetry called KHANDO in Nepali language during marriage ceremonies in my culture. People of different ethnicity have their own types of poetry to recite and sing as folk songs during cultural and religious proceedings. In light of these, I am quite sure that poetry will live long with our generations to come.
Romain Molina - I read a lot of your poems (in English of course). You are, as You are is an amazing piece for me, is my favorite. In each of your poems I read, you talk about love. My question is simple but why ? There's always a connexion to love, humanity, compassion... Values that I share.
Suman Pokhrel - I'm delighted to know that you have read and appreciated my poems. You are, as You are was written years ago and it is good to know it still touches people's heart. When you say that you find the quintessential element of love in my poem; all I want to tell you is that love, compassion, humanity are values which are irreplaceable. They are inherent qualities in human life. I dread to think of a society devoid of these values. In absence of these qualities in our nature, our planet would remain nothing but a material object. Hence, it is my earnest effort through my writing to express my belief on these essential qualities of life.
Romain Molina - You've wrote something beautifull about Taj Mahal. Why this monument and not something else?
Suman Pokhrel - Taj Mahal is not just a monument, but a symbol of love. In my poem, I urge readers to celebrate love throughout life. Instead of the loving the dead, I feel, we should love the living. Moreover, in my view; love is a feeling, and its expression is an art. I found the Taj Mahal as the most appropriate example of artistically expressed love; hence, a proper monument to write on to convey my message of love.
Romain Molina - Tibet, China, India... Nepal seems to be between the roof of the world and the biggest countries. It's a unique situation in the world. What's your point of view? For my foreign point of view, it seems that Nepal separates the Chinese and Indian world. It's a fascinating (and complicated!) situation.
Suman Pokhrel - Yes, Nepal does separate the societies in these two countries. China and India have seemingly different cultures. Nepal’s bordering areas in both sides’ buffer respective cultures across borders. However, in my view, culture is not the single factor to separate these populations. Geopolitical situations and economic ‘spaces’ play vital roles in mixing up and staying separate. Good thing for us is that this is fascinating but not complicated till date.
Romain Molina - The Greeks used to say:"Healthy body, healthy mind." Are you agree with that quote and do you think sports is a process to clean up your body and your mind?
Suman Pokhrel - Certainly. I am agreed with Greeks in this regards. We cannot imagine a mind without body. Body is the container of mind. If we have good container, we can keep the contents safer for longer duration. And it is obviously proven that sports keep the body fit, hence the mind.

Heat by Suman Pokhrel
Heat
by Suman Pokhrel
Heat rises, surpassing its own extremes,
as if it has sworn not to descend
before making all the thermometers burst.
The wind, aloof, refuses to blow this way;
it’s gone off with the clouds, on a honeymoon,
leaving the rain behind.
The sun pours down utmost heat with its full might,
ruthlessly imposing its relentless reign
upon helpless lives.
It detaches the harmony between the human body and mind.
Man's body turns into a swamp.
Sweat fails to distinguish between skin and hair,
and soaks the entire body like a frenzied flood.
Thoughts, once confined to the head,
now seep down to the soles of the feet.
Sweat clings to the unwilling clothing,
binding it to the body like an unwanted embrace.
The man, living a lifelong hypocrisy,
curses the inventor of clothes.
Windows exist, yet they feel non-existent—
like the government of a failed nation.
Curtains hesitate, unsure whether to sway or remain still.
Walls feud each other like enemies,
as if they are about to collide in battle.
The room itself has gone mad,
unable to bear its own heat.
The bed radiates like a burning griddle.
The sweat-soaked sheet, unwilling to stay flattened,
clings desperately to the human body, trying to escape.
The ceiling fan, deeply frustrated—
like a powerless employee appointed as the acting chief—
scolds constantly while spinning in vain,
yet the heat utterly ignores it.
The table fan whirls endlessly from left to right,
nodding to every passerby’s grievances,
like an overworked, underpaid clerk in a government office.
Electricity has fled
to hide in the personal bank accounts of decision-makers.
The baby wails,
unable to suckle its mother in the suffocating heat.
The husband, his temper flaring from failed plans
and the unbearable heat,
pours his anger on his wife—
but for her, it’s no fiercer
than the heat she bears
The asphalt on the road simmers frantically,
amplifying the heat, pushing it beyond the edge of human tolerance.
Women, relieved from fieldwork,
unable to plant their crops due to the drought’s cruel grip,
gather unkempt beneath trees,
their clothes pulled up to catch the breeze.
A full-grown bull tethered nearby stares, curious,
do the women feel shame exposing their bodies only in winter?
The secrets of the bodies of so-called elite women,
once confined only to their mirrors,
have now become public under the pretense of the scorching heat
All the skills and enthusiasm of people
have clung to the stickiness of sweat.
Lovers steal glances from afar,
for the repulsion of the merciless heat stands between them,
stronger than desire, love, and lust combined.
The sun, obsessed with proving its dominance,
is further sharpening its reign,
and the arrogance of the heat is on an endless rise.
Yet despite it all,
every living thing remains certain—
coolness will surely prevail, defeating the heat.
Experience bears countless witnesses—
no tyrant, ruling cruelly, can stand for long.

English translation of Abhi Subedi’s poem “निचरेर सुकाएको आकाश”
Sky, Wrenched and Stretched to Dry
by Abhi Subedi
On falling a showering wail onto
my ears
from sky,
I rushed to find;
earth, by entwining her attire
into the wheels of my motorcycle,
got herself almost unclad, and
sat plumped like water.
akin to wet laundry, I got hanged stretched
with love; and
I became an ethereal sky, wrenched
and stretched to dry.

I Like You Everywhere by Suman Pokhrel
I Like You Everywhere
by Suman Pokhrel
I like you here and there on you,
I like you everywhere on you.
I like you in your tone,
like you in your touch, too.
I felt myself residing in you.
I like you in your grace,
like you on your curves, too.
I like you in the smile on you,
like you in your gaze, too.
Why do I like you?
What do I find in you?
I feel the cosmos hiding in you.
I like you in your soul,
like you in your whole, too.
I like you everywhere in you
I want to be everywhere of you.

पीडाको वन्दना (Nepali translation of Nazik al-Mala’ika's poem 'Hymns to Pain')
पीडाको वन्दना (दुई)
- नाजिक अल मलाइका (२३ अगस्ट १९२३ - २० जुन २००७ / इराक)
किन आउँछ हामी भए ठाउँ यो पीडा?
कहाँबाट आइपुग्छ यो?
वर्षौँदेखि
लडिबुडि खेल्दै हाम्रा सपनाहरूमा
सिँगारिरहेछ यसले हाम्रा गीतहरूलाई।
तिर्खाएका मुख रहेछौँ हामी
र यिनै पीडालाई पिएर प्यास मेट्ने गर्दा रहेछौँ ।
कसै गरी तलाउसम्म पुर्यायौँ घिसारेर त्यसलाई हामीले
कुनै सुस्केरा नलिई, आँसुको एक थोपोसमेत नचुहाई
टुक्र्यायौँ त्यसलाई
र छरिदियौँ तरङ्गहरूमा,
मिसाउँदैन त्यसले अबदेखि हाम्रो खुसीमा दु:ख
बरू हाम्रा गीतका पछाडि लुकाइदिनेछ सुस्केराहरूलाई भन्ने ठानेर।
त्यसपछि आइपुग्यो
आफन्तहरूले क्षितिजपारबाट हाम्रा लागि भनेर पठाएका
सुन्दर सुगन्धित गुलाफको फूल।
त्यसबाट आशा थियो हामीलाई
खुसियाली र हर्षपूर्ण सन्तुष्टी देला भन्ने,
तर त्यसले त झनै विक्षिप्त गरायो
र आँसुसँगै बग्न थाल्यो पीडा
पीरहरूले कुँदिएका हाम्रा औँलाहरूमा।
