Translated by Ashraf Chowdhury
The Beginning Session
Like cow-hooves my time is divided
Moments are cracked like a black peasant’s heel
My birth doesn’t indicate any time
Even the events are free from the chain of moments
When nothing is happening in the world
Is time as steady as a question mark
Do I just akin to detect time for the fear of death
A thousand years is nothing to a paleontologist
To an astronomer a century is trivial too
One hundred million years is instant for the philosopher
But my time has touched me like a thirst
I detect the moments before any event
And I decided the beginning before the journey
For an unborn fetus
No timetable is declared in the world
Without labor scream
Based on a prior event
Is the fetus only incidental
Like cow-hooves my time is divided
Moments are cracked like a black peasant’s heel
There was no moment on the earth before my birth
Nothing but My Cry was the first inception of the world
