नोबेल पुरस्कार विजेता स्पेनिश कवि पाब्लो नेरुदा की कविता "You Start Dying Slowly" का हिन्दी अनुवाद..

1) आप धीरे-धीरे मरने लगते हैं, अगर आप:
- करते नहीं कोई यात्रा,
- पढ़ते नहीं कोई किताब,
- सुनते नहीं जीवन की ध्वनियाँ,
- करते नहीं किसी की तारीफ़।

2) आप धीरे-धीरे मरने लगते हैं, जब आप:
- मार डालते हैं अपना स्वाभिमान,
- नहीं करने देते मदद अपनी और न ही करते हैं मदद दूसरों की।

3) आप धीरे-धीरे मरने लगते हैं, अगर आप:
- बन जाते हैं गुलाम अपनी आदतों के,
- चलते हैं रोज़ उन्हीं रोज़ वाले रास्तों पे,
- नहीं बदलते हैं अपना दैनिक नियम व्यवहार,
- नहीं पहनते हैं अलग-अलग रंग, या
- आप नहीं बात करते उनसे जो हैं अजनबी अनजान।

4) आप धीरे-धीरे मरने लगते हैं, अगर आप:
- नहीं महसूस करना चाहते आवेगों को, और उनसे जुड़ी अशांत भावनाओं को, वे जिनसे नम होती हों आपकी आँखें, और करती हों तेज़ आपकी धड़कनों को।

5) आप धीरे-धीरे मरने लगते हैं, अगर आप:
- नहीं बदल सकते हों अपनी ज़िन्दगी को, जब हों आप असंतुष्ट अपने काम और परिणाम से,
- अग़र आप अनिश्चित के लिए नहीं छोड़ सकते हों निश्चित को,
- अगर आप नहीं करते हों पीछा किसी स्वप्न का,
- अगर आप नहीं देते हों इजाज़त खुद को, अपने जीवन में कम से कम एक बार, किसी समझदार सलाह से दूर भाग जाने की..।
तब आप धीरे-धीरे मरने लगते हैं..!

जो बन जाते हैं आदत के गुलाम,
चलते रहे हैं हर रोज़ उन्हीं राहों पर,
बदलती नहीं जिनकी कभी रफ्तार,
जो अपने कपड़ों के रंग बदलने का जोखिम नहीं उठाते,
और बात नहीं करते अनजान लोगों से,
वे मरते हैं धीमी मौत।
जो रहते हैं दूर आवेगों से,
भाती है जिन्हें सियाही उजाले से ज़्यादा,
जिनका ‘मैं’ बेदखल कर देता है उन भावनाओं को,
जो चमक भरती हैं तुम्हारी आँखों में,
उबासियों को मुस्कान में बदल देती हैं,
ग़लतियों और दुःखों से उबारती हैं हृदय को,
वे मरते हैं धीमी मौत।

जो उलट-पुलट नहीं देते सबकुछ
जब काम हो जाये बोझिल और उबाऊ,
किसी सपने के पीछे भागने की ख़ातिर
चल नहीं पड़ते अनजान राहों पर,
जो जिन्दगी में कभी एक बार भी,
समझदारी भरी सलाह से बचकर भागते नहीं,
वे मरते हैं धीमी मौत।

जो निकलते नहीं यात्राओं पर,
जो पढ़ते नहीं,
नहीं सुनते संगीत,
ढूँढ़ नहीं पाते अपने भीतर की लय,
वे मरते हैं धीमी मौत।

जो ख़त्म कर डालते हैं ख़ुद अपने प्रेम को,
थामते नहीं मदद के लिए बढ़े हाथ,
जिनके दिन बीतते हैं
अपनी बदकिस्मती या
कभी न रुकने वाली बारिश की शिकायतों में,
वे मरते हैं धीमी मौत।

जो कोई परियोजना शुरू करने से पहले ही छोड़ जाते हैं,
अपरिचित विषयों के बारे में पूछते नहीं सवाल,
और चुप रहते हैं उन चीज़ों के बारे में पूछने पर
जिन्हें वे जानते हैं,
वे मरते हैं धीमी मौत।

किश्तों में मरते चले जाने से बचना है
तो याद रखना होगा हमेशा
कि जिन्दा रहने के लिए काफ़ी नहीं बस साँस लेते रहना,
कि एक प्रज्ज्वल धैर्य ही ले जायेगा हमें
एक जाज्वल्यमान सुख की ओर।

*You start dying slowly*
✍ Martha Medeiros (‘Dying slowly’ poem is quite popular but this poem is wrongly attributed to Pablo Neruda. It is written by Brazilian poet *Martha Medeiros*)

He who becomes the slave of habit,
who follows the same routines every day,
who never changes brand,
who does not risk and change the color of his clothes,
who does not talk to people he doesn’t know
dies slowly.

He who makes television his guru
dies slowly.

He or she who shuns passion,
who prefers black on white,
and the dots on the “i” to a whirlpool of emotions,
precisely those that recover the gleam of the eyes,
smiles from the yawns,
hearts from the stumbling and feelings
dies slowly.

He or she who does not turn things topsy-turvy,
who is unhappy at work,
who does not risk certainty for uncertainty,
to thus follow a dream,
those who do not forego sound advice at least once in their lives,
die slowly.

He who does not travel,
who does not read,
who can not hear music,
who does not find grace in himself,
dies slowly.

He who slowly destroys his self love,
who does not allow himself to be helped,
who spends days on end complaining about his own bad luck,
about the rain that never stops,
dies slowly.

He or she who abandon a project before starting it,
who fail to ask questions on subjects he doesn’t know,
he or she who don’t reply when they are asked something they do know,
die slowly.

Let’s avoid death in small doses,
reminding oneself that being alive requires an effort far greater than the simple fact of breathing.

Only a burning patience will lead
to the attainment of a splendid happiness.

_____________________
उसके लिये जो कोई भी इस शुक्रवार की सुबह
समुद्र को नहीं सुन रहा है, उसके लिये जो भी घर या दफ्तर के
दड़बे में कैद है, कारखाने या स्त्री में
या गली या खदान में या सख्त जेल की कोठरी में:
उसके लिये मैं आता हूँ, और, बिना कुछ कहे या देखे,
मैं पहुँचता हूँ और खोलता हूँ उसके कैदखाने के दरवाज़े,
और शुरू होता है एक कम्पन, अनिश्चित और जिद्दी,
शुरू होता है बिजली का कड़कना
ग्रह की गड़गड़ाहट और उसका झाग,
समुद्री बाढ़ से गरजती नदियाँ,
तारा अपने परिमंडल में डोलता है तेजी से,
और समुद्र पछाड़ें खाता है, नि:शेष होता हुआ और लगातार।

इस तरह, अपनी नियति से खिंचा आया हूँ,
मुझे निरंतर सुनना होगा समुद्र का विलाप
और उसे रखना होगा अपनी चेतना में,
मुझे महसूस करनी होगी कठोर पानी की गरज
और उसे भर लेना होगा एक अनश्वर प्याले में
ताकि, जहाँ भी जो कैदखाने में हैं,
जहाँ कहीं वे पतझड़ की सजा भुगतते हैं,
मैं वहाँ हो सकूँ बिगड़ैल लहर पर सवार होकर,
मैं हिला-डुला सकूँ, खिड़कियों से आरपार गुजरते,
और मुझे सुनते हुए, आँखें ऊपर निगाह फेंकेंगी
कहते हुए ‘मैं किस तरह पहुँच सकता हूँ समुद्र तक’?
और मैं प्रसारित करूँगा, बिना कुछ कहे,
लहर की तारों भरी प्रतिध्वनियाँ,
फेन और रेतीले दलदल का टूटना,
नमक के सिमटने की सरसराहट,
समुद्र तट पर समुद्री-पक्षियों की धीमी चीख।

ताकि, स्वतन्त्रता और समुद्र, मेरे जरिये,
कपाट लगे हृदयों को उनके जवाब बन जायेंगे।

*The Poet’s Duty*
✍ Pablo Neruda

To all those who hear not the crashing of waves
this Friday morning, who being bound
to a home or office, factory or mineshaft,
romance or roadway or dry prison cell: to them
unspeaking and blind the poet attends,
opening the door that has shut them in
where endlessness can be heard vaguely insisting,

a long fragmented thunder adding its weight
to the planet and the foam
hoarse rivers emerging from the ocean
a star breakneck vibrating amid thorns
while the sea pulses and dies and goes on.

And so, driven by destiny, living no truce
one must listen to and hold in mind the sea’s lament
one must feel the crush of hard water
then coax from it a cupful of immortality
so that, wherever the imprisoned are held,
wherever they suffer the torments of autumn
one can be there in the borderless wave
in dialogue with any window
so they can hear and lift their gaze and ask
how will I get to the ocean?

Without saying anything, the poet must
transmit the star-strewn echoes of the wave,
the breaking up of foam in the undertow,
whispers of salt retreating,
and the gray squall of gulls at the edge.

All this so that with freedom the sea
can answer the heart caught in darkness.

ULYSSES BY JAMES JOYCE👇
Summary👇
All the action of Ulysses takes place in and immediately around Dublin on a single day (June 16, 1904). The three central characters—Stephen Dedalus (the hero of Joyce’s earlier Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man); Leopold Bloom, a Jewish advertising canvasser; and his wife, Molly—are intended to be modern counterparts of Telemachus, Ulysses (Odysseus), and Penelope, respectively, and the events of the novel loosely parallel the major events in Odysseus’s journey home after the Trojan War.

The book begins at 8:00 in the morning in a Martello tower (a Napoleonic-era defensive structure), where Stephen lives with medical student Buck Mulligan and his English friend Haines. They prepare for the day and head out. After teaching at a boys’ school, Stephen receives his pay from the ignorant and anti-Semitic headmaster, Mr. Deasy, and takes a letter from Deasy that he wants to have published in two newspapers. Afterward Stephen wanders along a beach, lost in thought.

Summary
All the action of Ulysses takes place in and immediately around Dublin on a single day (June 16, 1904). The three central characters—Stephen Dedalus (the hero of Joyce’s earlier Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man); Leopold Bloom, a Jewish advertising canvasser; and his wife, Molly—are intended to be modern counterparts of Telemachus, Ulysses (Odysseus), and Penelope, respectively, and the events of the novel loosely parallel the major events in Odysseus’s journey home after the Trojan War.

The book begins at 8:00 in the morning in a Martello tower (a Napoleonic-era defensive structure), where Stephen lives with medical student Buck Mulligan and his English friend Haines. They prepare for the day and head out. After teaching at a boys’ school, Stephen receives his pay from the ignorant and anti-Semitic headmaster, Mr. Deasy, and takes a letter from Deasy that he wants to have published in two newspapers. Afterward Stephen wanders along a beach, lost in thought.

Also that morning, Bloom brings breakfast and the mail to Molly, who remains in bed; her concert tour manager, Blazes Boylan, is to see her at 4:00 that afternoon. Bloom goes to the post office to pick up a letter from a woman with whom he has an illicit correspondence and then to the pharmacist to order lotion for Molly. At 11:00 AM Bloom attends the funeral of Paddy Dignam with Simon Dedalus, Martin Cunningham, and Jack Power.
Bloom goes to a newspaper office to negotiate the placement of an advertisement, which the foreman agrees to as long as it is to run for three months. Bloom leaves to talk with the merchant placing the ad. Stephen arrives with Deasy’s letter, and the editor agrees to publish it. When Bloom returns with an agreement to place the ad for two months, the editor rejects it. Bloom walks through Dublin for a while, stopping to chat with Mrs. Breen, who mentions that Mina Purefoy is in labour. He later has a cheese sandwich and a glass of wine at a pub. On his way to the National Library afterward, he spots Boylan and ducks into t

he National Museum.
In the National Library, Stephen discusses his theories about Shakespeare and Hamlet with the poet AE, the essayist and librarian John Eglinton, and the librarians Richard Best and Thomas Lyster. Bloom arrives, looking for a copy of an advertisement he had placed, and Buck shows up. Stephen and Buck leave to go to a pub as Bloom also departs.

Simon and Matt Lenehan meet in the bar of the Ormond Hotel, and later Boylan arrives. Leopold had earlier seen Boylan’s car and followed it to the hotel, where he then dines with Richie Goulding. Boylan leaves with Lenehan, on his way to his assignation with Molly. Later, Bloom goes to Barney Kiernan’s boisterous pub, where he is to meet Cunningham in order to help with the Dignam family’s finances. Bloom finds himself being cruelly mocked, largely for his Jewishness. He defends himself, and Cunningham rushes him out of the bar.
After the visit to the Dignam family, Bloom, after a brief dalliance at the beach, goes to the National Maternity Hospital to check in on Mina. He finds Stephen and several of his friends, all somewhat drunk. He joins them, accompanying them when they repair to Burke’s pub. After the bar closes, Stephen and a friend head to Bella Cohen’s brothel. Bloom later finds him there. Stephen, very drunk by now, breaks a chandelier, and, while Bella threatens to call the police, he rushes out and gets into an altercation with a British soldier, who knocks him to the ground. Bloom takes Stephen to a cabman’s shelter for food and talk, and then, long after midnight, the two head for Bloom’s home. There Bloom makes hot cocoa, and they talk. When Bloom suggests that Stephen stay the night, Stephen declines, and Bloom sees him out. Bloom then goes to bed with Molly; he describes his day to her and requests breakfast in bed.
