The Pearl


Is bagh ki, dharkanein

samjega nahin, 3 hafton mein

ab mat daal, is drame mein

nafrat ka marz


agar mere baap ne
ghulam rakhe hue the

to kyun azad hone ke

liye laroun?


samjha nahin, ham ko tu ne

aik mehel jis ki auratein

dein lamehdoud hasratein

baas kar yeh jhout

Kon tere khyal se mujrim hai?

Jis ke parcham pe kaman hai?

Kya pardah karma haram hai?

Un homme sans honte, sans intégrité


tufan ke, amad se

pehle hi likh di tu ne

takdir jis ke bare mein

kya janta tu?


Katil ke ghar kahan pe hai

Ka ghudgharz teri zaban hai

Bari tehkik ka natijah hai,

T’es un espèce de con!


--Usman Chohan, 2006

The pulse of this garden,
you can't understand in just 3 weeks
now don't mix hate into this
sick drama of yours

If my father kept slaves
then why would I promise
to save all from
their heavy chains?

You haven't understood us
Our palace, and the women therein
Drown me in such sensations
So end your lies
Who is the enemy in your eyes?
On who's flag the crescent flies?
Is it forbidden to veil myself?
Un homme sans honte, sans intégrité

Before the storm arrives
You wrote destiny
of which you know nothing

Where is the house of the killer?
How selfish is your tongue
After great research, I decide
T'es un espèce de con
