TRIBUTE 

 

TO THE CHILDREN OF AFGHANISTAN AND ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD, BE THEY BELIEVERS OR NOT!

 

9 September 2001: A dreadful and infamous attempt perpetrated against Ahmad Shah Massoud, a man of exceptional and deep goodness, cost him his life, thus bringing gloom and revolt to the hearts of the people who knew him but also to all those who - by an unforgivable indifference from the Western media, with the exception of Christophe de Ponfilly and his friends - were not even given this opportunity to know him.

In this entirely fictitious story, written to bring a little comfort to the numerous people still mourning his cruel loss, the role of mystic animals has not been neglected - not only Borâq, the magnificient stallion of the Prophet Mahomet, but also the birds and the ants are participants.

In this little collection of poetry, the reader will find several similarities between the different religions, perhaps one more little step towards tolerance and respect due to others and their differences...

May the family, friends, people and all the admirers of the "Light-bearer", find a little relief throughout this fable in which the black notions of politics, hate, fanaticism, war and unhappiness were intentionally excluded.  This in order to give a free access to dream and magic, so fiercely absent in our world, and to show the beauties of the Muslim religion - a faith most hastily and contemptuously disparaged and slandered nowadays.

Best regards and respect to the people of Afghanistan and any other people suffering from racial or religious prejudice.

Monia

You will find here both British and American English, as we chose the first for our personal liking and prefer to leave the second in the tests and poems in which it was placed.  So there is no mistake of spelling here:  (marvellous, marvelous/honour, honor/travelled, traveled/moulded, molded, fulfil, fulfill and so on). 

 

 

 

 

 
Dear Madam, 

You have most willingly sent me a copy of your book of poetry in tribute to Commander Massoud, book of which you are the author. 

As you wrote in your letter, my former position of President of the European Parliament, allowed me to welcome officially Commander Massoud in Strasbourg at the beginning of April 2001.   

By this invitation, I wanted to mark the political gratefulness of the International Community to a charismatic hero of the Afghani resistance, the man would put an end to ten years of Soviet invasion and fought with determination against the barbaric rule of the Taliban, fanatics who violated the basic rights and human dignity.

Thus, I was deeply touched and stricken with grief at the murder of this man that took place some days before the terrific attacks against the World Trade Center.  We could regret that the Western people did not help him more in his fight.

It is with great emotion that I receive your book today and I sincerely thank you for this gift.

I warmly congratulate you for the quality of your poetry and for generosity towards Afghanistan.

Yours very faithfully,

Nicole Fontaine

Letter from Mrs Nicole Fontaine, former President of the European Parliament, the only French personality who welcomed Massoud during his visit to Paris in April 2001.

 

LE MONDE EST DANGEREUX A VIVRE NON A CAUSE DE CEUX QUI FONT LE MAL MAIS A CAUSE DE CEUX QUI REGARDENT ET LAISSENT FAIRE ! THIS IS A DIFFICULT WORLD TO LIVE IN NOT BECAUSE OF THOSE WHO DO EVIL BUT BECAUSE OF THOSE WHO LOOK AT IT AND LET IT BE DONE!

UN REVE AU COEUR D'UN REVE/A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM

UN REVE AU COEUR D'UN REVE

 

"Je me souviens m'être réveillé ce matin

Alors que le soleil dardait ses premiers rayons de jeunesse.

Je ressentis alors un arrachement très cruel

A une nuit infinie d'ivresse.

Debout et solitaire dans un palais obscur

Se tient l'échanson du Roi.

Tenant la coupe de vin, remplie telle un calice

Il écoute le son des cloches d'église marteler le vent.

Elles martèlent l'église où je ne pourrai entrer...

Où je ne pourrai entrer, même pas seulement approcher...

Car les portes du Ciel en sont le centre.

Et le mendiant à ce banquet, c'est moi !

Fânée et enfuie la vision fugitive...

Que sont devenus la gloire et le rêve ?"

 

(Kung Fu, saison 2, DVD 2)

A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM

 

"I do remember I woke this morn

As the sun cracked in the dawning east

And felt as though I had been torn

From a night's unfinished feast.

Standing alone in a dim-lit palace,

As the taster of a King,

Allowed to sip the wine-filled chalice

To hear the sounds of church bells ring.

The bells of a church I could not enter

Come not close, but pass me by...

For the gates of Heaven are its center...

And the beggar at the banquet, I...

Within this flood the visionary gleamed...

Where is now the glory I'd achieved ?"

REVE D'AMOUR/LOVE DREAM

REVE D'AMOUR

 

Il a abandonné son rêve pour un autre.

Il a cru qu'il valait mieux

disparaître en laissant de l'amour

et non s'en aller en laissant

derrière lui de la haine.

LOVE DREAM

 

He gave up his dream for another

that it is better

to cover the land with love

than to let it cover you with hatred.

SOUFFRANCE/PAIN

SOUFFRANCE

"Comment est-il possible qu'une souffrance

Qui ne soit ni mienne ni de ma préoccupation,

Doive m'affecter comme si

Elle était mienne ?"

PAIN

"How is it possible that a pain

Which is not mine or my concern

Should immediately affect me

As though it were mine ?"

LA MAISON DE TON BIEN-AIME/THE HOUSE OF YOUR BELOVED

LA MAISON DE TON BIEN-AIME

 

"Je ne suis que la maison du bien-aimé

Non pas le bien-aimé lui-même.

L'amour est un trésor

Non pas le coffre qui le contient."

Le véritable bien-aimé est l'Unique

Qui est ton début et  ta fin.

Quand tu le trouveras,

Tu n'espèreras rien d'autre

Si ce n'est ce qui est manifeste et mystère.

Ce Bien-Aimé est le seigneur des sentiments

Qui ne dépend de rien ;

Les mois et les années sont esclaves de cette lune

Quand il parie sur "l'état",

il fait son propre pari :

Lorsqu'Il exprime sa volonté, les corps deviennent âmes.

 

RUMI

THE HOUSE OF YOUR BELOVED

 

"I am only the house of your beloved,

not the beloved herself:

true love is for the treasure,

not for the coffer that contains it."

The real beloved is that one who is unique,

who is your beginning and your end.

When you find that one,

you'll no longer expect anything else:

that is both the manifest and the mystery.

That one is the lord of states of feeling,

dependent on none;

month and year are slaves to that moon.

When he bids the "state",

if does His bidding:

when that one wills, bodies become spirit.

LE MIROIR/THE MIRROR

LE MIROIR

 

Laisse là tous tes soucis

Que ton coeur soit totalement clair

Comme la face d'un miroir

Qui ne contient aucune image.

Si tu désires un pur miroir

Contemple-toi

Et vois toute la vérité honteuse

Que le miroir reflète.

Si le métal peut être poli

en un miroir presque fini

Quel poli peut demander le miroir

de ton coeur ?

Entre le miroir et le coeur

Est une  infine différence :

Le coeur dissimule des secrets,

Le miroir jamais.

 

RUMI

THE MIRROR

 

Let go of your worries

and be completely clear-hearted,

like the face of a mirror

 

that contains no images.

 

If you want a clear mirror,

 

behold yourself

 

and see the shameless truth,

 

which the mirror reflects.

 

If metal can be polished

 

to a mirror-like finish,

 

what polishing might the mirror

 

of the heart require?

 

Between the mirror and the heart

 

is this single difference:

 

the heart conceals secrets,

 

while the mirror does not.
