ശിലയും ശില്പ്പവും

Published by

on

ഒരു വാക്കിലുമുരുകാത്ത

ശിലയാവാനാശിച്ചു ഞാന്‍

ഒരു നോക്കിലുമലിയാത്ത

ശില്പ്പമാവാനോര്‍ത്തു ഞാന്‍.

ഓരോ ശിലയിലുമാത്മാവു കണ്ട

നാളൊരു ശില്പ്പിയായി ഞാന്‍.

ശിലയാവാന്‍ കൊതിച്ചു ഞാന്‍

ശില്പ്പമാവാന്‍ കൊതിച്ചു ഞാന്‍

ശിലയില്‍ ശില്പ്പം പണിയുമൊരു

കല്‍മണ്ഡപത്തിന്‍ ശില്പ്പിയായി ഞാന്‍.

    I wanted to be

    A stone with a soul
    A sculpture with a heart

    And I became the sculptor …
    The sculptor who carved out soulful sculptures from soulful stones

    I became the sculptor who breathed life into stone

        (A literal translation)

        I wanted to be like that stone that does not melt under words …
        I wanted to be that sculpture that does not melt under a gaze ..

        I became that sculptor who saw a soul in every stone (I carved)

        I dreamt of becoming a stone
        I dreamt of becoming a sculpture
        However, I ended up being a scultpor who created sculptures out of stones

                  I never wanted to be a stone,
                  a stone that melts for
                  the magical spells of love,
                  I wanted to be the
                  Koh -i- Noor
                  the queen of diamonds.

                  I wanted to be a sculpture
                  that withstands the gaze
                  of the most charming eyes,
                  I wanted to be the
                  David of Michael Angelo.

                  I wanted to be a painting
                  that stays mysterious
                  for centuries,
                  I wanted to be the
                  Mona Lisa of Leonardo.

                  I wanted to be a diamond
                  I wanted to be a sculpture,
                  I wanted to be a painting,
                  I wanted to be a masterpiece.

                  In the end..
                  with all those dreams in the heart
                  life made me a sculptor,
                  a sculptor who gives life to the stones I carve
