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.

CECITE/BLINDNESS

CECITE

 

Pourtant ce sont les yeux

qui rendent l'homme aveugle.

Pouvant voir les choses,

il ne les regarde plus.

 

Savoir vivre en harmonie avec l'univers

c'est connaître l'oiseau,

le soleil, les nuages...

Est-ce bien grave de perdre la vue

après avoir acquis la connaissance ?

 

(tao te ching)

BLINDNESS

 

Yet sometimes it is eyes

that blind a man.

Because he can see,

he does not look.

To be at one with the universe

is to know bird, sun, cloud.

 

How much shall a man lose

if he then loses his eyes?

 

(tao te ching)

POUR CONNAITRE L'AMOUR/TO KNOW LOVE

POUR CONNAITRE L'AMOUR

 

Pour connaître l'amour sois comme le ruisseau

Qui est sourd et qui chante tout de même

sa mélodie pour les autres.

Souffre d'un trop plein de tendresse...

Réveille-toi à l'aube avec le coeur battant

Et dis merci pour ce nouveau jour

plein d'amour !

 

Tu l'emploieras lorsque tu sauras te vider

comme ce sablier.

Crois-en le sage

C'est la seule façon de connaître l'amour.

 

(tao te ching)

TO KNOW LOVE

 

To know love be like a running brook

which deaf, yet sings its melody for others to hear.

Feel the pain of too much tenderness.

Wake at dawn with winged heart

and give thanks for another day of loving.

 

Empty yourself and yet be filled.

An old wise tells you

this is how to know love.

L'AMOUR EST L'EAU DE LA VIE/LOVE IS THE WATER OF LIFE

L'AMOUR EST L'EAU DE LA VIE

 

Toute autre chose que l'amour d'un Dieu magnifique

Bien que semblable au goût du sucre n'est rien.

Qu'en est-il de l'agonie de l'esprit ?

Avancer vers la mort sans avoir saisi

L'eau de la Vie.

LOVE IS THE WATER OF LIFE

 

Everything other than love for the most beautiful God

 though it be sugar- eating. 

What is agony of the spirit? 

To advance toward death without seizing 

hold of the Water of Life.

CEUX QUI NE RESSENTENT PAS CET AMOUR/THOSE WHO DON'T FEEL THIS LOVE

CEUX QUI NE RESSENTENT PAS CET AMOUR

 

 

Ceux qui ne ressentent pas cet amour

Qui les tirent telle une rivière,

Ceux qui ne s'abreuvent pas à l'aube

Comme le fait la coupe d'eau du printemps

Ou qui ne dînent pas du soleil

Ceux qui ne veulent pas changer,

 

Laisse-les dormir.

 

Cet Amour est au-dessus des études de théologie

Ce vieux mensonge, cette hypocrisie.

Si tu veux améliorer ton esprit de cette façon,

 

Dors.

 

J'ai laissé là mon cerveau

J'ai déchiré l'étoffe en lambeaux

Et l'ai jetée.

 

Si tu n'es pas complètement nu

Enveloppe-toi de la magnifique robe des mots

Tout autour de toi,

 

Et dors.

 

RUMI

THOSE WHO DON'T FEEL THIS LOVE

 

 

Those who don't feel this Love

pulling them like a river,

those who don't drink dawn

like a cup of spring water

or take in sunset like supper,

those who don't want to change

 

let them sleep.

 

This love is beyond the study of theology,

that old trickery and hypocrisy.

If you want to improve your mind that way,

 

sleep on.

 

I've given up on my brain,

I've torn the cloths to shreds,

and thrown it away.

 

If you're not completely naked,

wrap your beautiful robe of words

around you,

 

and sleep.

 

RUMI

LIBERTE/FREEDOM

LIBERTE

 

Sommes-nous libres d'aller où nous voulons

y compris de monter au ciel ?

Alors pourquoi est-ce que je parle

toujours de liberte ?

Les pensées ne sont-elles pas libres

de suivre leur propre cours,

de s'élever même jusqu'aux cieux...

bien que nos corps se débattent

sans cesse dans une prison ?

Ne t'attache à rien.

Cherche l'harmonie en tout.

Alors tu seras vraiment libre !

 

(tao te ching)

FREEDOM

 

Are we free to go anywhere we chose,

even up into heavens?

Then why do I speak to you of freedom?

Is your mind not free

to seek its own course...

to soar even to the heavens

though you turn and spin within a prison?

Bind yourself to nothing.

Seek harmony with all.

Then you will be truly free.

 

(tao te ching)
