Mez- Table
Given below is an excerpt from Poet Javed Akthars very famous poem ” Woh karma yaad at a hai” which uses the word Mez. The entire poem has been posted on our blog before and the link is here:https://wordpress.com/post/27976973/2532/
wo choti mez par
aur saamne deewar par
aawezaan tasveeren
mujhe apnayeeyat se aur yakeen se dekhti thi
muskrati thin
unhein shak bhi nahin tha
ek din
main unko aise chod jayoonga
main ik din yun bhi jayoonga
ki phir wapas na aayoonga
Translation:
On that small table
and in front, on the wall
those hung photographs,
looked at me with a sense of belonging and honesty
smiled at me,
they had no clue
that one day
i would leave them and go away
that i would go in such a way
that i would never come back…

I love finding these words shared between languages. We use ‘meza’ in Swahili for table. And I cant help but draw the similarity to Spanish as well where ‘mesa’ is the equivalent.
Lovely poem!
