ဆရာၾကီး၏ ေဗဒါ ကဗ်ာမ်ား

ပန္းပန္လ်က္ပဲ
ေဗဒါလမ္း(၁၀)


ညိဳျပာျပာ၊ လတာျပင့္ ေျခရင္း။
လွဳိင္းတက္ရာ ေဗဒါတက္၊လွဳိင္းသက္ရာ ဆင္း။

ဆင္းရလည္း၊ မသက္သာ။
အုန္းလက္ေၾကြ ေရာေပါေလာ၊ ေမ်ာစုန္လုိ႔ လာ။
အဆင္းနဲ႔ အလာ၊ ေဗဒါမ အေထြး။
အုန္းလက္ေၾကြ သူ႕ နံေဘး၊ေဆာင့္ခဲ့ရေသး။

ေဆာင့္ခဲ့လည္း မသက္သာ။
ေနာက္တစ္ခ်ီ ဒီ တစ္လံုးက၊ ဖံုးလုိက္ျပန္ပါ။
ျမဳပ္ေလေပါ့ ေပၚမလာ၊ မေဗဒါ အလွ။
တစ္လံကြာ လွဳိင္းအၾကြ၊ ေပၚလုိက္ျပန္ရ။

ေပၚျပန္လည္း မသက္သာ။
ေခ်ာင္း အဆြယ္ ေျမာင္းငယ္ထဲက၊ဘဲ ထြက္လုိ႔လာ။
ဘဲ အုပ္မွာ တစ္ရာ ႏွဏ္ရာ၊ ေဗဒါက တစ္ပင္တည္း။
အယက္အကန္ ခံလုိ႔
ေဗဒါပ်ံ အံကုိခဲ၊ ပန္းပန္လ်က္ပဲ။


HYACINTH'S WAY(10)
Still Wearing the flower

At the foot of the mudflats,bluish brown
Riding the waves and tossed around,
Beda floats,moving up and down.

Floating sown the water's,not at easy,
With a surfing coconut frond happened to meet,
The floater and the drifter along with the tide,
Smites her square in the side.

After being smitten wasn't left alone in pain,
But a tidal wave drowned her again,
Sinking down under,doesn't re-appear
Till a wave surges up a couple of yards afar'
Together with it,surfaces the beauteous Ma Beda.

Surfacing again brings no relief,
Ducks and drake emerge out of a small inlet of the creek,
they number a hundred or two,
But Beda's all alone and solitary to be true;
Jostled and kicked with hundreds of feet,
While Beda just clenched her teeth,
The unsubdued and unyielding Beda's fair,
Still krrps on wearing the flower in her hair.

အျပာမွာ အဝါကြက္ကယ္နဲ႔၊ ဝုိင္းစက္စက္ ရြက္ငယ္ရွင္
မေဗဒါ ပင္လယ္ေအာက္က၊ေခ်ာင္းေပါက္ကုိ ဝင္။
ေခ်ာင္းတစ္ေလွ်ာက္မယ့္လမ္းစဥ္၊ယဥ္ေပစြတကား။
ေဗဒါေဆြ ဒီေရထဲမွာ ရဲေပစြတကား။

ေရဆိပ္မွာတဲ့ ညံစီစီ။
ပ်ိဳေလးေတြ လက္တစ္ကမ္း၊ပန္း ဆန္ခဲ့ၿပီ။
လွမ္းၾကေပါ့ မီ့ တမီ၊ကံသီလုိ႔ တကတဲ။
ေဗဒါပ်ံ ကံကၾကီး၊ေရစီးေၾကာင့္ လြဲ။

ခရုပတ္ ဝဲငယ္ငယ္
ေဗဒါေဆြ ဒီေရေကြ႕မွာ၊ ေျပးေတြ႕ရတယ္။
မျဖစ္လုိ႔ ႏွစ္တြယ္တြယ္၊ ဝဲလယ္က အႏြဲ႕။
မေဗဒါ ပတ္ခ်ာလွည့္၊ လႊဲထြက္နိဳင္ခဲ့။

ေလာင္းစပ္က ခတ္တက္ျပင္။
ေရဆန္မွာ စုန္မဆုိင္း၊ လွိဳက္ယက္ပန္း ဆင္။
ေလွဦးက ဘီလူးဝင္၊လ်င္နိဳင္မွ လြတ္ၿမဲ
ေဗဒါပ်ံ ေလွနံယိမ္း၊တိမ္းခဲ့ သည္ပဲ။

ေခ်ာင္းဖ်ားက ငါး ငါးဖ်ံ။
လတာေရာင္ အေကာင္ေသး၊ေမွးလုိက္ခဲ့ျပန္။
ေဗဒါက ေဖာင္သ႑ာန္၊ ငါးပ်ံက ေဖာင္စီး။
ျပာဝါေရာင္ ဘယ္မၫွဳိး၊ပုိးခဲ့ မညည္း။
တက္ေရမွာ ဆန္၊က်ျပန္ေတာ့ စုန္ဆင္း။
ပြင့္ဖူးတံ တခ်ီခ်ီနဲ႔
ေဗဒါရီ ဒီေရေၾကာမွာ၊ေမ်ာတတ္ေလျခင္း။


HYACINTH'S WAY(18)
With An Upright Flower

On a background of blue with a yellow patch,
The sailor with a round sail yatch.
From the lower parts,the sea,comes Ma Beda,
And into the mounth of the creek enters;
Her way along the creek full of grace and culture,
Friend Beda,in the tidal waters you showed true valour.

There's a strident crowd at the beach,
The flower has flowed up to the belle girls' reach,
They grabbed for it and nearly had the flower,
But the upright Beda,with fortune favouring her
Flowed away from grabbing hands because of the tidal water.

A small spiralling whirlpool,an eddy,again
Ma Beda meets at the tidal water's bend,
She ran to face,without love had to embrace
The eddy,spiralling tenderly
Ma Beda twirled around,
And escaped out of bounds.

The longboat prepares its rowing oars,
Not waiting for the water to fall down lower,
With rippling flowers,forward it goes;
To escape it one must be swift and light,
The upright Beda dodged to the boat's sade.

The mudskipper from the creek above,
A small one the colour of the mudflat,onto her leaning,
Beda's like a raft,the mudskipper the rider of the raft;
With blue and yellow colours ever beaming,
Carried on her back never complaining.

Going up the rise,and at ebb down you glide
With a budding flower upright;
In the tidal flow,you really know
How to float on your way so.
