Changing The Past | © Donna | English Original Version | Read by Vineet KKN ‘Panchhi’

Описание: Memories are great. They connect us with where we have been. They also connect us to parts of our past that burden us. Everyone has had bad things happen to them in the past. The problem is, some of us also live there. We walk around with our disappointments, our blunders, our setbacks, and our hurts.
To live fully in the present, however, we need to learn what we can from the uncomfortable memories of the past, and then let those recollections go. No one can change the past. What’s done is done and we can’t go back to the past and change the situation. The only thing you can do is to accept it, learn from it and move on and forgive yourself and others.
This week’s poem Changing The Past by Donna and its Hindustani Transcreation by ‘Ambar’ Kharbanda is a great reminder to let the past be, in the past.
Much sunshine and laughter to you,
Team ‘The Good Poetry Project’

Changing The Past
By Donna © Donna
Read by – Vineet KKN ‘Panchhi’

The past is the past for a reason.
That is where it is supposed to stay,
But some cannot let it go.
In their heads it eats away

Until all their focus becomes
The person they used to be,
The mistakes they made in their life.
Oh, if only they could see

That you cannot change what happened,
No matter how hard you try,
No matter how much you think about it,
No matter how much you cry.

What happens in your lifetime
Happens for reasons unknown,
So you have to let the cards unfold.
Let your story be shown.

Don't get wrapped up in the negative.
Be happy with what you have been given.
Live for today not tomorrow.
Get up, get out, and start living.
(Be happy with what you have been given)

Because the past is the past for a reason.
It's been, and now it is gone,
So, stop trying to think of ways to fix it.
It's done, it's unchangeable; move on.

गुज़र गया सो गुज़र गया

अब क्या इन बातों में रक्खा! गुज़र गया जो, गुज़र गया है
गुज़र गए जो लम्हे उनको याद करें तो हासिल क्या है!
(गुज़र गया जो, गुज़र गया है)

लेकिन कुछ लोगों के लिए वो, लम्हें जैसे ठहर गए हों
उनके दिल-दिमाग में जैसे वो लम्हे ही पसर गए हों

कहाँ-कहाँ पर भूल हुई है, हरदम यही सोचते रहना
कहाँ-कहाँ मैं चूक गया हूँ, ख़ुद से यही पूछते रहना

क्या ऐसी बातों से कुछ हल निकला है, जो अब निकलेगा!
क्या कोई उलझा सवाल तब सुलझा है, जो अब सुलझेगा!

जो होना था हुआ, उस पर पछताने से कुछ भी न होगा
दीवारों से अपने सर को टकराने से कुछ भी न होगा

जो होना था हुआ, उसे तुम हरगिज़ बदल नहीं सकते हो
गुज़रे हुए ज़माने की छाया से निकल नहीं सकते हो

जो कुछ भी होता है उसका कोई तो मतलब होता है
जैसा तुम चाहो वैसा ही, सोचो तो कब-कब होता है

जो कुछ तुम्हें मिला है उसमें ख़ुश रहने की आदत डालो
आज जिओ जी भर के, कल की चिंताओं को दिल से निकालो

इन बातों में कुछ नहीं रक्खा! गुज़र गया जो, गुज़र गया है
गुज़र गए जो लम्हे उनको याद करें तो हासिल क्या है!
(गुज़र गया जो, गुज़र गया है)
