SAQI FAROOQI'S "THE WOUNDED CAT IN AN EMPTY SACK":
FOUR VERSIONS
[Editor's note: We very much wanted to include Saqi Farooqi's poem "xall b5r^ m^N zaxmT billa" in our section on him, but failed to come up with a satisfactory version of it. We decided, therefore, to publish the original poem with four different versions in English. We hope that some reader will do justice to the poem and send us a really good translation.]
