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!

PERFECTION

PERFECTION

 

Dans ce monde très imparfait

Où nous sommes obligés de vivre

La perfection est pure illusion.

L'idéal auquel nous nous référons

Est aussi dans une certaine mesure une illusion.

 

Si la perfection est fonction de l'âge,

De la race, de la couleur de la peau

Ou de la couleur des cheveux

Qu'est-ce que ces critères prouvent...

Sinon que nous sommes

dépourvus de sens critiques ?

 

NE JUGEONS PAS NOS SEMBLABLES

ET RESERVONS A NOUS-MEMES

LES JUGEMENTS LES PLUS SEVERES.

 

(tao te ching)

PERFECTION

 

Beware of judgements of others

In this imperfect world

in which we live

perfection is an illusion.

And so the standards by which

we seek to measure it

are also, in themselves, illusions.

 

If perfection is measured by age, race,

color of skin, color of hair,

physical or mental prowness

then we are all lacking.

 

IT IS WELL TO REMEMBER

THAT THE HARSHEST JUDGEMENTS

ARE FOR OURSELVES.

C'EST CELA L'AMOUR/THIS IS LOVE

C'EST CELA L'AMOUR

 

C'est cela l'amour : s'envoler vers un ciel secret,

Faire tomber cent voiles à chaque instant.

Tout d'abord, pour se libérer de la vie

Enfin, pour sans ses pieds, faire un pas.

Imaginer ce monde invisible,

Et ne plus se regarder soi-même.

 

Le coeur, dis-je, quel présent

Pour pénêtrer le cercle des amants,

Pour voir au delà de lui-même,

Pour atteindre et ressentir en son sein.

 

RUMI

THIS IS LOVE

 

This is love:  to fly toward a secret sky,

to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.

First, to let go of live.

In the end, to take a step without feet;

to regard this world as invisible,

and to disregard what appears to be the self.

 

Heart, I said, what a gift it has been

to enter this circle of lovers,

to see beyond seeing itself,

to reach and feel within the breast.

SOIS TOTALEMENT HUMBLE/BE UTTERLY HUMBLE

SOIS TOTALEMENT HUMBLE

 

"Sois totalement humble

Et tu contribueras aux

fondations de la paix.

Recherche l'unicité

avec les créatures vivantes

qui, après s'être épanouies

tout au long de leurs vies

Retournent au grand silence

dont elles étaient issues."

 

 

(Tao te Ching)

BE UTTERLY HUMBLE

 

"Be utterly humble

and you shall hold to

the foundation of peace.

Be at one with all these

living things which,

having arisen and flourished

return to the quiet

whence they came."

POSSESSION

POSSESSION

 

Nous sommes possédés

Par ce que nous possédons,

Asservis à la terre

Et soumis à des choses

Par l'attachement

Que nous avons pour elles.

Aussi sacrées qu'un calice,

Aussi insignifiantes qu'un galet.

 

 

(tao te ching)

 

Photo : Reza

 

POSSESSION

 

 

That we are possessed

By what we would possess:

Help in bondage to earth

And vested things by the attachements

We form for them...

Even so holy a thing

As a chalice

So slight a thing as a pebble.

LA HAINE/HATRED

LA HAINE

 

Haïr c'est boire un eau salée.

Votre soif redouble.

Observez un ver à soie.

Il s'entortille dans un cocon.

Il croit qu'il y sera en sécurité

Mais il ne fait que préparer sa tombe.

La haine deviendra votre tombe.

Vous allez vous y enfermer

avec votre souffrance.

 

(tao te ching)

HATRED

 

To hate is like drinking salt water.

Your thirst grows worse.

I have seen the silkworm.

It spins a thread,

thinking itself to be safe.

It has only spun a tomb.

Hate is the tomb you weave.

It will not save your from suffering.

 

(tao te ching)
