This site is an effort to present a selection of Punjabi poetry that has been translated into English by the author and includes a romanized version of the poems It is meant for those who are interested in Punjabi poetry but may not have the tools (linguistic and/or cultural) to access the meaning fully. At present the selection includes Shiv Kumar Batalvi, Bulhe Shah, the Marriage songs of Punjab and Mohan Singh. It is a personal, and far from exhaustive, view of Punjabi poetry. It is also a work-in-progress. |
