Haiku by Zada Šahdanović 

 

The dust Hides an unopened book.

The hidden treasure.

 

ほこりが未開封の本を隠す

隠された宝物

 

Last petals of my freedom go away.

I write with the bitterness

of my soul.

 

私の自由の最後の花びらが消える。

辛さでもって書く

私の魂の

 

A young man without his legs

Pushes the wheel of destiny.

Angels look after him.

 

足のない若者

運命の輪を押す

天使が彼の面倒を見る

 

A blind girl 

Finds a path

The small rock runs away.

 

視覚障害者の少女

小道を見つける

小さな岩が走り去る

 

Stick resin 

Falls down the pine tree

The ants die.

 

スティックな松やに

松の木の下に落ちる

アリが死ぬ

 

An evil spider

is coming towards a 

butterfly.

The web is shaking.

 

邪悪なクモ

蝶の方に来る

クモの巣が揺れている

 

Tiny, old

Camels on the sand

The desert of the soul.

 

小さな、年取った

砂の上のラクダ

魂の砂漠

 

The fog is disappearing 

In my mother’s garden.

Golden sun is shining.

 

霧が消える

母の庭で

黄金の太陽が輝いている

 

Sticky resin falls down

The pine tree

The ants die.

 

粘着性のある松やにが落ちる

松の木の下に

アリが死ぬ

 

Follow with a glance

wagon of homeless.

Eyes without a shines.

 

一目で後に付いていく

ホームレスのワゴン。

輝きのない目

 

— Translated by Hidenori Hiruta
