Oppressions (- કે જુલ્મો તેઉના દયામાં ખપે!)

My blog today varies with the publication of a poem. Till now, all my articles were in prose. In my first introductory article ‘About me’, I had mentioned that I have written some Poems and Hykoos also in Gujarati.

Today’s poem is not basically written by me, but it is simply a summarized translation in the free style form of a poem. It is probably a Syrian work which may be in Arabic or it may have originally been written in English as I could not find the source then, but simply the text of it in English anyway. Some change in content at the end has been made to make it a universal one. My articles are not limited to particular group of people and therefore I have taken somewhat liberty in this regard.

Now, to my great delight, I could find the source of the poem in question through surfing on internet and could contact the proper authority. Accordingly, I am thankful to Janab Mustafa Jaffer of Ahlul Bayt Digital Library Project for his role as a middle man between the Author Late Janab Mulla Ashgarali M.M.Jaffer’s son Janab Abbas Jaffer and myself to seek out the consent for the summarized translation of the poem in Gujarati with some change in the content for the purpose mentioned above.

Torture, injustice, harassment, oppression and punishments from the dictatorial or jungle rule to innocent people are universal issues. They are related to entire human kind. How and why should they be separated in the categories of creed, cast, religion or faith? Oppression is the oppression whether it may concern to any individual or a mass; and it should always be condemned.

Now, go to my scanned Gujarati poem attached herewith to share the feelings of despair and hope.

    અદભૂત ! રૂવાંડાં ખડાં થઈ ગયાં . તમારો ઈમેલ વાંચી , હિંસા વિશે મારા વિચારો લખવાના સંકલ્પને બળ મળ્યું . આ કવિતા એ માટે જરૂર પ્રેરણા આપશે.

    હિંસા અને અત્યાચાર મારી નવલકથાના એક પ્રકરણમાં છે –

    આખી નવલકથા ન વાંચી શકો – તો આ પ્રકરણ જરૂર વાંચજો.

    આવું જ પણ બિભત્સ રસ જમાવતું , મને ગમતું પ્રકરણ પણ વાંચવા નમ્ર વિનંતી –

    પણ તમારી કવિતા તો ખરેખર વિષાદ અને વિચાર કરતા કરી મૂકે તેવી છે.
