Need some help with a Pashtun poem

[sarah]

Hi,

Can someone please let me know what is meaning of the following poem and who is the poet?

په خیال بیا اړه وی چیرته ناديه ســترګی
چه بی تیغه یی حلال پری عاشــــــقان کړل

If you know what are the missing characters, please let me know as well.


Thanks.

په خیال بیا اړه وی چیرته ناديه ســترګی
چه بی تیغه یی حلال پری عاشــــــقان کړل

Transliteration:

"Pa khyaal bya arrawee cherta nadia starge,
Che betegha yee halaal Pari ashiqan krral."

The highlighted words, I'm not sure about their meanings. I think the "nadia" should be "nadeeda," which in this context can mean "unaccustomed" or not used to something.

Not at all sure about the other word ("betegha"?).

But overall, it's a love verse: The beloved has a lot of lovers.
Not sure who wrote it, though.

Someone else here might be able to help ...

Thank you all for such fast replies.

I am wondering whether I can find the complete poem translation anywhere, if not, can you please spare few minutes and post the translation in Dari or English.


Thanks.

[sarah]

Thank you for putting time on my request.

That portion was on my noteboook for a long long time. I searched the web for it in vain and the obsession to find the meaning matured overtime so I decided to post it somewhere like Yahoo answers or a relevant forum.

Thanks.

سترګی
داچه پورته ترآسمــــــــــــــان یی تجلاشوه
په خیال بیا اړه وی چیرته خوبان ســترګی

چه بی تیغه یی حلال پری عاشــــــقان کړل
بر ګی بر ګی اړوی مهریان ســــــــترګی
برګې۔
چه دمینی ټول قدرت پکــــــــــی مرموزشو
په نازنازغړه وی ځکه جنان ســــــــــترګی

مینی هغه وخت سوراورپه عاشـــــق بل کړ
مخامخ چه جنګوی عاشقان ســــــــــــترګی

داطلس بحر تری کم دی په پراخی کـــــــــی
غرقوی په یوه نظرکی جهان ستــــــــــرګی
بحر۔۔۔پراخي
په ښکلا کی لعل ګوهرورته ســـــــــلام کړی
دتسنین له نوره ډکی لعلان ستــــــــــــــرګی

غټی غټی سترګی بیا له اوښـــــــــکو ډ کی
څوک پری وژنی چه دۀ کړلی عیان سترګی
ده کړلې
عزت الله اکبـــــــــــــــری تل په دغه ویاړی
چه تعریف یی کړی ســــــیا بوراګان سترګی


عزيزانو۔
ځيني توري پکښې کم وو او واضح نه وو ما تر خپل وسه واضح کړل۔
يوه خبره
هغه دا چې کيدلې شي شاعر ډير تکړه او ښۀ استاذ شاعر وي خو دا غزل ئې چندان د يادولو وړ نه دے۔
زه انتهائي معذرت غواړم خو چې څه رښتيا وو هغه مې تاسو ته اوائيل

[Badlun]

داچه پورته ترآسمــــــــــــــان یی تجلاشوه
As it is enlightened till the sky(horizon)

په خیال بیا اړه وی چیرته خوبان ســترګی
(its because) The Beautiful darlings are moving their eyes
(It means that there is light upto the sky because of the movements of the beautiful eyes of the beloved or sweet hearts or the light of the beauty of the eyes goes till the sky )
چه بی تیغه یی حلال پری عاشــــــقان کړل
As it slaughtered many lovers without a knife or arrow.
بر ګی بر ګی اړوی مهریان ســــــــترګی
This kind (sweetheart) is changing colors of her eyes by moving them.
(It means that effect of the movements of the eyes of my beloved is so strong that it slaughters many lovers with out a sword or knife. The effect is as strong as a knife)

برګې۔
چه دمینی ټول قدرت پکــــــــــی مرموزشو
The whole force of love has been concealed in it
په نازنازغړه وی ځکه جنان ســــــــــترګی
Thats why the sweet heart opens her eyes.
مینی هغه وخت سوراورپه عاشـــــق بل کړ
Love made a fire on the lover at that time
مخامخ چه جنګوی عاشقان ســــــــــــترګی
when the lovers were fighting with their eyes(It means that when other rivals were also looking at the beloved, the lover was burning of the fire)

داطلس بحر تری کم دی په پراخی کـــــــــی
The width of the atlantic ocean is less than
غرقوی په یوه نظرکی جهان ستــــــــــرګی
In one sight(blink) the eyes drown the whole universe
بحر۔۔۔پراخي
په ښکلا کی لعل ګوهرورته ســـــــــلام کړی
Diamonds and pears salute to(the eyes) in beauty( the ebauty of the eyes of my beloved are so much that even diamonds and pearls pay their tribute to it)
دتسنین له نوره ډکی لعلان ستــــــــــــــرګی
The pearls of the eyes are full of the light of satisfaction.
غټی غټی سترګی بیا له اوښـــــــــکو ډ کی
The big big eyes are full of tears
څوک پری وژنی چه دۀ کړلی عیان سترګی
ده کړلې
Whome you will kill now(with your eyes) once you opened it
(the beauty of the eyes is so strong that once the eyes are opened . people cant bear its strenght and because of the force of beauty in it)
عزت الله اکبـــــــــــــــری تل په دغه ویاړی
The poet( Izat Allah Akbari) will always appreciate it
چه تعریف یی کړی ســــــیا بوراګان سترګی
As the eyes are appreciated by the beautiful birds(insects playing on the flowers of the garden)

[Badlun]

The poem basically describes the beauty and effect of the eyes of the beloved of the poet. The poem may be taken in a metaphorical way as its literal translation may not be well understood.

Eyes of the sweet heart is a very important element in Pashto poetry which can be found in almost all generes (as poets cant see Pashtun women but only their eyes are visible hahaaa) and this poem beautifully describes the beauty , attraction, effect and force of the eyes of a Pashtun sweet heart. The metaphors, similies, personification and other figures of sppech used are superb. It compares the eyes to a knife in its force, to the Atlantic ocean in its width, its beauty more than pearls and diamonds and has fantastically described the movements of the eyes, the white and black colours and its force of enlightening till the horizons.

Indeed a beautiful classic Pashto poem and I wish to know about the poet Ezatullah Akbari and his poems.
