塔斯妮姆·侯赛因Tasneem Hossain诗四首：灯塔与雄鹰

Poetics Multilingual Mag

The Eagle

The wide, blue sky is its domain.
High mountain tops are where it rests.
Wide wings open from its chest,
The golden eagle then looks its best.
Flies high far from human vision,
sharp eyes with near perfect precision.
Free it is, mighty lord of the sky.
Freedom is its birthright, majestic is its flight.

The eagle perched on the tree,
looked down, ravenous eyes its spirit free.
Looking for prey, spotted one with glee.
Quick flapping wings swooped down, lest it flee.
Caught in feet, took off victoriously.

The small little creature wiggled and wiggled.
Its struggle didn’t help but made it cripple.
The eagle, mighty monarch of the realms,
landed on the high mountains to enjoy its meal.

Today, as it swooped to have its feast
struggled in its fight against its prey, its treat.
Mighty it seems, but now its flight is weak.
Broken wings, age withers even the mightiest beings.

Fell with a thud, who soared the skies flying free.
Wriggling in pain its last minutes in agony.
A giant shadow falls and darkens all,
stares with eyes now dimming life’s last call.

Flying angel with wide wings of endless grace.
Soars majestically with wings open from the chest.
The golden eagle then looks its best.
The progeny now flies through the open space,
Defying sun and floats high above stormy winds.

A calm and peaceful death now it may embrace.
Life goes on with amazing grace.


雄鹰

辽阔的蓝天是它的疆域。
高山之巅是它栖息之地。
宽阔的羽翼自胸膛舒展，
金雕展露它最雄健的风姿。
高高翱翔，远离人眼的视野，
锐利眼眸，具备近乎完美的辨识力。
它无比自由，是天空威严的主宰。
自由是它与生俱来的权利，飞翔的姿态何其壮丽。

雄鹰栖于枝头，
向下凝望，饥饿的眼眸，灵魂无拘无束。
搜寻猎物，它欣喜地发现目标。
双翼急速拍打，俯冲而下，唯恐猎物逃遁。
利爪擒住猎物，胜利地腾空而起。

小小的生灵拼命扭动挣扎，
挣扎只是徒劳，只落得遍体伤残。
雄鹰，这广袤天地的强大君王，
落于高山之巅，享用它的猎物。

这一日，它俯冲觅食，
与猎物奋力缠斗，这本是它的饕餮盛宴。
纵然威风凛凛，此刻飞翔已然孱弱。
翅膀已然折断，岁月会消磨世间最强悍的生灵。

它轰然坠落，那曾自由翱翔于长空的生命。
痛苦扭动，度过生命最后的煎熬时刻。
巨大的阴影笼罩，万物陷入昏暗，
眼眸渐渐黯淡，迎来生命最后的回响。

飞翔的天使，羽翼舒展，姿态万般优雅。
胸膛张开双翼，壮丽地凌空翱翔。
金雕展露它最雄健的风姿。
后代已然翱翔于广袤长空，
无惧烈日，高高飞越狂风暴雨。

此刻，它可以安然迎接平静的死亡。
生命仍在延续，饱含非凡的恩典。



Thoughts of an Immigrant

She stands in front of the canvas and stares.
Recollections of her childhood memories flash.
Her rendezvous with the flora and fauna of Sundarbans;
Her eye contact with the Royal Bengal tiger lingers on.

Ah! the breeze and nature’s playful song,
Singing a lullaby to her innocent mind.
Down memory lane all comes flooded as in a dream:
The steamboat engine and the rough water tides.
Fifty years of separation from her birth country, she sighs.

Her paintings speak of her love divine,
Of a country that she left behind.
Visitors stare, praises abound;
Tears roll down, she is flooded with the pressmen around.

She smiles and gives a valiant look.
Now, in a far-off land, she resides.
She has not left Bangladesh, her motherland, behind.
Treasured in her heart, locked with a feather key;
Floating feathers of her past life, she feels free.

The meaning of her life she has found at last.
Life is full of echoes and contrasts.
Connected with the invisible cord
Life plays on different beautiful chords.

一个移民的思绪

她伫立画布之前，久久凝望。
童年的记忆在脑海闪现。
她忆起在孙德尔本斯与动植物的相逢；
与孟加拉皇家虎对视的画面久久萦绕心头。

啊！微风，还有大自然活泼的歌谣，
为懵懂的她吟唱摇篮曲。
往事如潮水入梦般奔涌而来：
汽船的引擎轰鸣，汹涌翻腾的潮水。
与故土阔别五十载，她叹息连连。

她的画作诉说着深沉炽热的眷恋，
诉说那片她已然离去的故土。
访客驻足凝望，赞美声声不绝；
泪水滑落，成群记者将她团团包围。

她露出微笑，眼神坚毅果敢。
如今，她定居在遥远异乡。
她从未将祖国孟加拉抛下。
故土珍藏心底，以羽毛为钥牢牢封存；
过往岁月的羽毛漫天飘荡，让她释然于怀。

她终于寻到生命的真谛。
生命充满回响和反差。
无形的纽带将万物紧紧相连，
生命奏响一曲曲优美各异的乐章。

（本诗与《帷幕落下之前》已收入《2025 中国诗歌年鉴》）



Let’s Walk Together, You and I

The world grows dim and dimmer with feeble eyes.
Youth turns into a broken wheelchair;
Let’s walk through the desert together, you and I.

The wheel of life rolls and turns, time flies by
Medicines pile up high, hair grows grayer.
The world grows dim and dimmer with feeble eyes.

Once full of merriment, now distant ties;
Mornings are hazy with too much time to spare.
Let’s walk through the desert together, you and I.

Afternoons are bleak, no sun shines in the skies.
No melody of birds’ singing; the trees look bare.
The world grows dim and dimmer with feeble eyes.

Muffled voices amid soft sound of gasping cries;
Let’s be each other’s forever to care.
Let’s walk through the desert together, you and I.

Evenings come with stories told anti-clockwise.
Sleepless nights abound, aplenty in prayers.
The world grows dim and dimmer with feeble eyes.
Let’s walk through the desert together, you and I.



(Villanelle)



你我，一同前行

双眼日渐昏花，世界愈发黯淡。
青春化作一架残破的轮椅；
让我们一同穿越这片荒漠，你和我。

生命之轮滚动旋转，时光飞逝，
药物高高堆积，鬓发日渐斑白。
双眼日渐昏花，世界愈发黯淡。

昔日满是欢愉，如今情谊已然疏远；
晨光朦胧，空余大把虚度的时间。
让我们一同穿越这片荒漠，你和我。

午后凄清萧瑟，天空不见暖阳，
不闻鸟儿啼鸣，树木枝叶尽落。
双眼日渐昏花，世界愈发黯淡。

喘息与低泣交织，声声朦胧隐约；
愿我们彼此相守，岁岁互相关怀。
让我们一同穿越这片荒漠，你和我。

暮色降临，往事倒叙般娓娓诉说。
长夜无眠，无尽祷告绵绵不绝。
双眼日渐昏花，世界愈发黯淡。
让我们一同穿越这片荒漠，你和我。

（维拉内拉体）





The Lighthouse

Forlorn,
I stand on the rocky mountain, amid the seas and oceans in sight.
Shining bright for the ships, sailing in the dark of night;
Circling, glaring with powerful signs of light.
Illuminating floated buoys, trawlers or ships all alike.

Crystal pearly shiny water and white seagulls.
Nature’s beauty to see, for all the sea borne travellers;
Signaling pending doom, throwing flashing lights on treacherous rocks and waves,
Beckoning humans and sailors, to be safe on stormy bays,
Defying all seasons of the year, ceasing not a single day.

I must go on shining brighter and bright,
When heavenly lights are dimmed by darkness at night,
Fog, thunderstorm or howling seas and bleak weather strikes
I must show them the pathway to their delight.
Guide the sailors home, further away from their plight.

Mostly,
Far away at the horizon I see,
Tumbling feebly the fishermen’s boat on the sea.
Coming home, boat laden with fish in glee
Singing tales of forgotten mermaids’ plea.

Music playing on the deck as couples sway,
Lovers kissing and maidens stealing their eyes away;
Ships drifting slowly,
Braving death, ferocious winds, whales and sharks.
Till I see only the mast in the dark,

Alas!!
Sometimes I witness thundering waves, gushing and destroying ships.
Bellowing waves raging through hulls and masts adrift,
Wrecking thousands in dark and stormy seas
Angry Ocean’s deathly blow, taking all down to the darkest depths.

I am the lighthouse, I only do my job.
My beacon steering all away from dangerous rocks;
Lost sailors veering in the rocky coasts and rugged seas in storm
The light is what they need to reach the docks


I stand tall, to clear away the misty darkness,
Navigating, seafarers the pathway in the sea’s vastness
‘Show us the lighthouse’, they pray,
A heaven, an angel for travelers they say!!

I smile in the distance far away in pride,
I cannot sleep till my work is done to guide
Come, join me O’ traveler just for a while,
Listen to the tales of travelers from far and wide.

I am so weary and tired, my body aches,
Standing for centuries awake;
Oh!!! But I cannot perish.
I am the lighthouse,
Standing strong through sleepless nights,
With memories of lives saved, to cherish.

‘Oh, there comes another ship!!
I must shine to help the passerby….’



灯塔

孤寂落寞，
我屹立于嶙峋山岩，放眼望尽汪洋大海。
为暗夜航行的船只放射灼灼光芒；
光束回旋扫射，发出强劲的光亮。
照亮浮标、拖网渔船，也照亮万千航船。

澄澈莹润的波光，雪白的海鸥翩飞。
为所有出海旅人，展现大自然的绝美风光；
它警示潜藏的厄运，向凶险礁石与巨浪投出闪光，
呼唤水手与世人，在风暴肆虐的海湾平安归航。
岁岁年年，从未有一日停止守望。

当夜的黑暗掩去天上星辉，
我必须让光芒愈发璀璨明亮。
浓雾、雷雨、怒海，险恶天气呼啸袭来，
我也要为他们指引通往希望的航向。
引水手归岸，远离险境。

常常，
我眺望遥远的海平线，
看见渔船在海面虚弱地颠簸摇晃。
渔民满载渔获，满心欢喜踏上归途，
传唱着被遗忘的美人鱼的哀歌。

甲板上乐声悠扬，人们双双起舞，
恋人相拥亲吻，少女悄悄回眸顾盼；
船只缓缓漂行，
直面死亡，对抗狂风、巨鲸与鲨群。
直到黑暗之中，唯余桅杆依稀可见。

唉！
有时我目睹滔天巨浪奔涌，撕碎一艘艘航船。
狂涛冲击船体，桅杆在海面四处漂流，
万千生命覆灭于漆黑狂暴的海洋。
暴怒大海的致命一击，将一切卷入幽暗海底。

我是灯塔，我只恪守我的使命。
我的光束，让船只远离凶险的礁石；
风暴之中，水手在礁石遍布的海面迷失方向，
这束光，便是他们抵达港湾的希望。

我巍然伫立，驱散迷雾与昏沉，
在浩渺大海之上，为航海者指引前路。
“求灯塔为我们引路。” 他们虔诚祈祷。
人们说，我是旅人的天使，一方天堂！

我于远方傲然含笑，
使命未竟，我便不能沉入梦乡。
旅人啊，请稍作停留来到我身旁，
听我讲讲四方过客的种种故事。

我身心俱疲，身躯隐隐作痛，
数百年日夜挺立，不曾休憩；
哦！可我不能就此消亡。
我是灯塔，
熬过一个个无眠长夜，
珍藏着无数被我救下的生命记忆。

“啊，又一艘船只驶来！
我必须亮起光芒，帮助过往的旅人……” Tasneem Hossain is an international award-winning multilingual poet, columnist, fiction and op-ed writer, educator, translator, and professional trainer.
