#y two cents with full realiAation that translating +halibs trickyJ poetry is ne&t to impossible certainlya $ery difficult 0ob* riticiAing the translation $ery easy* 3ow when you ha$e done the difficult 0ob, myturn for the easy one on $erse 5, and 1F)*

5* +halib has mentioned 2hararJ as an entity and commodity different from +hamJ* 9hat, in my $iewis of key importance in understanding this $erse, actually the entire concept** 9hat distinction is missingin the translation, Had my grief in the spark!mode made an ignitionJ* In fact the translation tends to$iew both as different forms of the same feeling*

* @ied I in disgraceJ certainly is not the same thing as Huay mar kay ham 0o rus$aJ* @ied in disgracerefers to the pains of +halibs day to day life, something that finds its mention more in his letters thanhis poetry* Huay mar kay ham 0o rus$aJ in the conte&t of this $erse is an e&tensionO formO corollary ofthe larger concept of self!actualiAation through annihilation* .s such in my opinion the translationmissed a key point* 9he word neededJ in the translation also does not fall in line with the actualmeaningsOtheme of the $erse* 2ame is true for no any tomb erectionJ*

1F* 9he word distinguishedJ is o$er and abo$e the original $erse in my $iew it takes away from themeanings and misdirects the reader away from the actual philosophical meanings marked by a focusedmention of yaganaJ and yaktaJ* 2imilarly the second line of the translation does not con$ey the

meanings of the $erse one, (at least mine) interpretation of which would be closer to wahdatulwu0oodJ*

=n the whole I must appreciate the difficulty Pin fact impossibilityQ of the task of accurate translation of+halibs poetry, especially such masterpieces
