Lost Dreams in Water and Other Poems

About this book

When the borders of existence intermingle with the purity of the soul and words turn into water droplets flowing to quench the thirst of eternal questions, this exceptional literary work is born to take us on a contemplative journey crossing borders and geography. Lost Dreams in Water and Other Poems is not merely a collection of lined-up verses but a human mirror reflecting the details of contemporary life with unprecedented philosophical boldness, woven with delicacy by one of the pillars of modern poetry in the Indian subcontinent. In this book the reader sails in worlds blending with enchanting smoothness the magic of cosmic nature with the fears of contemporary man; you see him dive into the depths of nature to return with astonishing abstract images, then suddenly find yourself before burning issues touching our planet, from environmental issues and pollution to estrangement and the wars disfiguring the face of innocence in this world. The tone here progresses between an obscurity wrapping the fate of human dreams threatened with dissolution, and an overflowing inspiration rephrasing the simplest details of daily life and passing moments to make of them icons of elevation and beauty. This exquisite Arabic translation comes to offer the Arab reader a rare opportunity to touch the conscience of a world poetry translated into many international languages: poetry not content with standing at ruins but opening windows onto postmodern worlds with a scientific touch and a comprehensive spiritual vision of the universe and existence. It is an open invitation to every soul searching for wonder, and to every reader yearning to see the world through a literary perspective overflowing with love, hope, and deep contemplation leaving an indelible mark on the conscience.
