વિદેશિની : પન્ના નાયકનાં કાવ્યો
સમગ્ર કવિતા થઈ, કાવ્ય પૂર્ણ ક્યારે થશે?!

પન્ના નાયક April 13th, 2011
Below are my two English poems that were published in a very well-known American journal named World Literature Today.
PDF file of the article – WLT-PN
but a single soul –
a million efforts have been made
to see this ideal come alive
We are nothing else –
just two pages of a book
just sewn together by predestined debts
મૂળ ગુજરાતી કાવ્ય: ઋણાનુબંધ
staring at the ceiling
I felt like reaching out:
it seemed so close.
After an unsuccessful attempt,
I put chair upon chair upon chair
on my bed, stood atop this pyramid
but still could not touch the surface
that had seemed so close.
I cannot figure out
whether the ceiling is much too high
or my arms much too short.
મૂળ ગુજરાતી કાવ્ય:  કે પછી
by the author and Saleem Peeradina
A distinguished Gujarati poet, Panna Naik has been active on the Gujarati literary front for approximately four decades and has established herself as a major writer. She has written several volumes of pathbreaking poetry and short stories and has given a distinct voice to Indian women as evidenced by her worldwide following. Her poetry has been amply recognized and awarded by Gujarati literary establishments both in India and the United States.

અનુવાદ મઝાના થયા છે. કવિતાની સરળતા અને ગહનતા અનુવાદમાં પણ એવી જ તાજગીથી પમાય છે.

વાહ .. મૂળ ગુજરાતીમાં લખાયેલ કાવ્યો વાંચ્યા છે. પણ આ અંગ્રેજીમાં પ્રસિદ્ધ કાવ્યો અનુવાદ નથી લાગતા એ જ એમની કવિતાની સિદ્ધિ છે. પન્નાબેનની કલમે અંગ્રેજી ભાષા પણ સમૃદ્ધ થશે એ વિચાર આનંદિત કરે છે.
