Opis
A complex composition, both in its vocabulary and, more so, in the depth of its meaning. Penned by the literary genius Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala', whose many of the recurring motifs are centered around clouds.
Translating this song was a challenging task, especially the final stanza, where I still feel uncertain about whether justice has been done to the original lyrics. The choice of certain words, such as सरसो, derived from सरस rather than the commonly understood "mustard," and परसो, based on परस (to touch) instead of "the day after tomorrow," reflects the depth of Nirala's brilliance. Some translations are not literal but approximate, resulting in a loss of some poetic beauty. However, these translations serve as a bridge for those unfamiliar with the original language.
