This is the English translation of the Urdu version of a poem written by Nazim Hikmet, the renowned Turkish poet. The Urdu version was by Faiz Ahmad Faiz, the great Pakistani poet and the English one is by Agha Shahid Ali, a Kashmiri poet. The poem is called For Vera, Hikmet's Russian wife.
She said Come
She said Stay
Smile she said
She said Die
I came
I didn’t leave
Yes, I smiled
And I even died.
Nazim Hikmet (1901-63)
