الشاعر السوداني (العالمي) الصادق الرضي في نادي الشعراء ببرايتون UK

Quote: Featuring Al-Saddiq Al-Raddi, one of the leading African poets writing in Arabic today. He has gained a wide audience in his native Sudan for his imaginative approach to poetry and for the delicacy and emotional frankness of his lyrics. His poetry has always been concerned with the rich cultural and linguistic diversity of Sudan and its complex history. His Poem of the Nile was published in The London Review of Books one of the rare occasions the LRB has published poetry translated from Arabic and the first time they featured the work of an African poet. His poems have also been published in Poetry Review and The Times Literary Supplement. This is a real indication of Saddiq's growing status as an important international poet.

Quote: لهاث --------ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ------ الصادق الرضي ___________________________ كأنَّها تَقتربُ من البابِ تسمعُ دقات قلبِكَ أو كأنك في انتظارِها تَحْضُرُ طيورُ الضُّحى وتَصْطَفُّ على النافذةْ ........ ساعةٌ من الصَّبرِ غابةٌ من الهديلِ والشقشقةْ

Quote: لو جاز لي أن أقدم ملاحظاتي - المقومسة - على قدر الحال يعني ، فأقول ... المترجمة إستخدمت تعبير " midday sky " مقابل كلمة " الضحى " وأظن أن الأوفق لو أنها استخدمت بدلا عنها " mid-morning"

Quote: The translator's name is Sarah Maguire

Quote: Breathless literal translation ------------------------------------------- As if she is now approaching your door your heart started beating And as if expecting her The birds of noon are gathering to line up at your window ……………… An hour of patient waiting A forest of chirp and cooing! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The literal translation of this poem was made by Hafiz Kheir The final translated version of the poem is by Sarah Maguire

Quote: the same meaning in English is not available so to solve this problem for the English readers the nearest meaning is midday- same feeling, same mode and expectation. From another (semantics ) angle mid-morning gives you the feeling of( morningness, I invented this word BTW) while the Sudanese or Arabic meaning gives the impression of end or towards ending of the morning which is the same of midday in English ( End of morning felling). Your second note could be also argued like this: clamour gives you the feeling and impression of a group of people crying for someone/thing. so it makes readers inclined to think of lining up and making noises at the same time. The last note I was going to agree with you when I recalled many pictures of birds flying and flapping their wings which is the imaginary picture of the word fluttering. What I mean is birds Flutter when the are happy and flapping their wings .
