He comes across as a deeply romantic poet a spy in his own heart exploring the possibilities of realizing love in his poems. In a sense, he seeks to experience the positive in its contrariness. While promises are sought and made, their value can perhaps be felt more if they are not kept! The poet revels in yearning. Many of the poems in this volume pulsate with some seeking. There is in them an unusual imagery, evocative style and an idiom that is contemporary and yet reminiscent of the old-world charm of both the Hindi as well as the Urdu poetic traditions.

Lines abound offering examples of how contradictions can be reconciled simply and ingeniously. They flourish in Vishals poems and add a reflective dimension to them. Vishals request to translate his poems was very timely and providential. His ghazals and nazms came like melodies to lift my spirits just when I had broken my leg and was completely immobilized. The dismal prospect of a long and fallow period ahead that of healing filled up at once with imaginative expeditions into the world of Vishals poems. I was nowhere close to my own muse to write poems around this time.

Thankfully, this external stimulus to engage with poetry came my way and I fervently began the process of translation with almost an instinctive owning of the poems. I can say with absolute conviction that I responded to these poems not as a critic to evaluate them, nor as a teacher to interpret or explain them but as a reader, in a natural way. The process of translation followed without any deliberation. Yes, indeed, the calling was that each poem be born in a different linguistic locale while preserving its identity as a poem. Losses in translating poetry are inevitable. I hope there are some gains too in their recreation.

Indeed, there were challenges, ones that always come up while translating from an Indian language into English. Transferring images or delicate shades of meaning of some words or even culture-specific humour or irony from one language into another is arduous and sometimes impossible. I am aware that linguistic encounters in translation can be fatal, they can kill poetry or then, create completely new poems, eroding the value of fidelity. Here, I have tried to negotiate between two languages to create the poems anew and yet keep an eye on faithfulness to the original expression and spirit. I wish to heartily thank the editor, Shantanu Ray Chaudhuri, for lending a third eye and offering many useful suggestions. However, I take the responsibility for any lapses and perhaps some awkwardness that may have entered the Queens English in this translation.

But then, dont we need to pool into the postcolonial project of creating our own brand of English? eSa vius ls dkys dkslksa nwj gqvk] lkjh nqfu;k esaa ysfdu e'kgwj gqvkA ekSle 'krZ yxkdj gkj x;k eq>ls] ckny ckfj'k djus dks etcwj gqvkA batu dh lhVh is iaNh pkSad iM+s] taxy dk lUukVk pdukpwj gqvkA I drifted infinite miles away from myself But became famous all over the world The weather laid a bet and lost it The cloud was compelled to rain The trains whistle startled the birds Shattering the silence of the forest ;s cukjl ugha gS] fnYyh gS] myVh xaxk ;gk is cgrh gSA x+kSj ls ns[kks nude painting dks] fdruh ikdht+xh >ydrh gSA ?kj dh jksVh f[kyk, pwgksa dks] ;s fl;klr vthc fcYyh gSA 'ksj lkjs yxs [k+jkc mls] vc rks ut+nhd dke;kch gSA #g ls ftLe dks mrkjks rks] cq) ds /;ku tSlh gydh gSA This is Delhi, not Benaras, Here, even the Ganga would flow in reverse Look at the nude painting closely What purity radiates from it Feeding rats home-made roti Politics is a strange cat indeed!
