Ageyuvudu -- Kannada translation of Seamus Heaney's 'Digging'

This is my Kannada translation of Seamus Heaney's English poem Digging.  This is also my first attempt at translation from English to Kannada.

The original English poem:

Translating K V Tirumalesh's poems...From the banks of Osman Sagar...Osman Saagarada Dandeyinda...

Hi all...this is another Hyderabad poem of K V Tirumalesh Sir...I translated it as part of my Tirumalesh's Hyderabad Poems project...all these translations were done in the second half of last year...this is "Osman Saagarada Dandeyinda"... from his collection 'Avadha'...

From the banks of Osman Sagar

With such fierce focus, O young man,

what are you looking at? 

The proverbial footsteps of the fish or

the mysterious inner pathways of the

girl you are in love with?

What form would the broken images take

floating in from the stirrings of the restless lake.

Just like you

I’m waiting too

with bated breath.

But,

when the waves rest

and things are clear,

would we have forgotten

who we are?
