Tey Taar Sukk Gyi
description
Structured like a narrative, the poem uses rich images that evoke the passage of one season to another, showing the consequential changes in the outside world and the inner disturbance of the speaker. It is the recurring motifs of seasonal change-from sultry, parched summer through autumnal calm-that mirror the passage of moods between the sylvan past and acceptance of adversity, laden with the hope of reunion. Within these lines rest much of the interfolding between natural cycles and the human experience.

Full Poem
description
The poem follows the free verse style, with no binding to a set rhyme scheme. This is characteristic of the flowing nature of feelings and the organic sequence of thoughts in the mind of the speaker. The lack of a fixed rhyme scheme permits the feelings of the speaker to flow more organically, simulating the ambiguity and fragmentation of life itself.

Poem’s Translation

The poem has a melancholic but optimistic tone, as the speaker ponders the seasons going by as an allegory of the flow and decline of life. Mortality, nostalgia, and spiritual endurance are the themes. The poet bemoans the loss in nature and humanity, such as the separation of loved ones. Nonetheless, the poem ends on an optimistic note—a faith in intervention by God and a hope of reunion after braving the pains of life. The speaker relies on God's plan, believing that after tribulation, there will be relief and reunions.

Comprehension of the poem
description
Fundamentally, "Tey Taar Sukk Gyi" revolves around the repetitive nature of life—the constant passage between suffering and hope. The emotional odyssey of the speaker is inseparable from the seasons, illustrating how the outer (nature, time) corresponds to inner states of existence. The reference to migration, the Gujjar Bakarwals' journey to the pastures, introduces an element of tradition and continuity, while emphasizing the soul as the quintessence of humanity underscores the impermanence of the physical and the indomitable resilience of the spirit.
