Kashmir Sentinel November 2002Tears are dribbling incessantly from my eyesHow to bear with pain and agonyCall him loud and clearAgain she says -O friend, why does he kill me by inches?I left my native abode for himWhy does he not take care of me?He deserted me in the dense darknight**I am a youthful beauty, abandoned my abode for him whole day passed awaiting himHis gnawing indifference has rendered me madI bear with taunts flung by one and allAddressing her husband she in all despair busts out -O, my love,You were the friend of my youthInitially I knew not how to value itWasted it away, Now I am pining and witheringShow me your countenance, I am dying for a mere glimpseO, friend of my youth.There is an exemplary confluence of hope and despair in the love-laden lyrics of Arnimal. Helplessness,unfathomable perseverance, endless wait and incessant agony are the emotional states that weave thewarp and woof of her lyrical orchestrations. But the world of her intense emotions is lacking in broadsweep. Her lyrics limpidly mirror the mind of a deserted woman who is in deep despair, lonely andyearning for a rendezvous with her spouse distances away from her. She is in anguish yet she is hopefuland optimistic. She is a broken reed, yet she yearns for a concourse with her husband who has forsakenher. Malice and ill-will never come her way. She could have screamed fire and fury at her husband whohas cruelly left her high and dry. But she maintains her calm and poise. Says she -Your love impelled me to abandon my abode you knit up your brows and frowned at meI wished you long life as that of Lomesh RishiWho ill-advised you not to return to me?Pouring out her heart Arnimal says -Would that he were to come onceI would sacrifice my life for himWhy he trampled me, a creeper that has fully bloomedO friend, I have none to confideI am teased and mocked atWhat if he does not talk to meLet him live long and be happyLet him be with my co-wifeArnimal is tormented by pangs of separation and is in hell-fires of despair, yet she sings of hope andhappiness -O hope of the hopefuls! enliven my heart with hopeRemove dark despair from it1-4 Panun Kashmir PublicationPDF created with FinePrint pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
Kashmir Sentinel November 2002He repaired to Lahasa for benefitsI am eagerly awaiting himSow the seeds of warm friendshipAnd wish no hurt even to enemiesShe is under the perpetual grip of blues and greys. She is wretched and forlorn. Says she -He never stood by his promisesHe bewitched me & went awayO friend, can you manipulated his return?Everything in this world is fleeting and transitoryFlowers bloom and soon fade awayMemories of her spouse cause her pain and anguish. She weeps and wails for his quick return. In pain andgrief she sings -When will he return to me, a woman in bubbling youth?I am shedding tears endlesslyCan I ever forget the deep craving for him?My whole being is afire like a coniferous twigMy pains know no end, tears in torrentsGo on dripping from my eyes.Despite her husband's indifference and sullenness Arnimal never ceased to yearn and long for his closecompanionship. A lyric of hers opening with the yellow-hued rose (arin) is highly popular with lovers ofKashmiri poetry and music. She sings -Mine is a life brimming with pain and agonyyou got my heart perforated by the taunts of othersYou got it burnt like a half burnt cloth-pieceWho will convey my wretchedness to himWhen will he turn up to show his coantenance to me**Cheating me he stole awayHe mocked at me in presence of strangersWhen should I expect him back?This is quite a popular lyric, almost on the tip of every Kashmiri’s tongue Mehmood Gami impressed somuch by the lyric has in one of his lyrics immortalised the refrain. Arnirung gom shrawn...". In fact, thetwo lyrics are of different stamp and are not the same in feel and style. Sh. AK Rahbar has dilated indetail on the two lyrics in his work 'History of Kashmiri Literature' and made thorough comparativestudy. His decisive conclusion is that the opening lines are that of Arnimal and not that of MahmoodGani. The lyric of Arnimal excels that of the latter in its naturalness and lyrical melodiousness.The following lyric of Arnimal is an exemplary specimen of highly artistic use of word and meaning inKashmiri language -When in slumber he pulled at my soft wristThe ornament adorning my arm hurt me greatHe snatched every bit of gold from meO friend, he left me sad and forlornWho should believe whom?Panun Kashmir Publication 1-5PDF created with FinePrint pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
