Mera Dagistan Punjabi (Punjabi)

Description

- "قال أبوطالب: إذا أطلقت نيران مسدسك على الماضي أطلق المستقبل نيران مدافعه عليك" - عندما تستيقظ من نومك فلا تقفز من سريرك كأن أحداً عضك، فكّر قبل كل شيء بما حلمت به في نومك. - المفني يمسك بطنبوره. اعرف أن له صوتاً حسناً ولكن لماذا يداعب أوتاره زمناً طويلاً؟ ولماذا يحلق في عالم آخر قبل أن يبدأ أغنيته. - الطائرة قبل أن تطير تثير كثيراً من الضجة وبعد أن تذرع المطار كلع لتصل إلى المدرج تثير ضجة أكبر، قبل أن تندفع وتطير، وهكذا لا تقلع الطائرة في الهواء إلا بعد أن تتم استعدادها هذا كله. - والطائرة المروحية لاتحتاج إلى مدرج لكي تندفع ولكنها قبل أن تنفصل عن الأرض تنفخ وتدمدم أمداً طويلاً وتأخذها رعدة شديدة. - نسر الجبال وحده ينطلق دفعة واحدة في السماء الزرقاء خفيفاً ويعلو ثم يعلو حتى يغيب عن الأنظار. يمكنك تحميلها من هنا http://search.4shared.com/postDownloa... Review: Best ever - I love this book. Review: A Masterpiece of Identity, Culture, and Soul - A Beautiful Love Letter to One's Roots ​Mera Dagistan (My Dagestan) by the legendary poet Rasul Gamzatov is not just a book; it is a profound philosophical journey and an absolute masterpiece of regional literature. Moving away from conventional storytelling, Gamzatov brilliantly blends prose, poetry, folklore, and memoir to create a rich tapestry of his homeland in the Caucasus mountains. ​Here is why this book leaves such a lasting impression: ​Deep Cultural Pride: Gamzatov's love for Dagestan shines through every single sentence. He captures the rugged beauty of the mountains, the fiercely resilient spirit of its people, and the rich traditions of its various ethnic groups with incredible warmth and vivid imagery. ​The Importance of Mother Tongue: One of the most powerful themes in the book is the preservation of language and identity. Gamzatov beautifully argues that losing or forgetting one's mother tongue is a tragedy, asserting that a person’s true identity is deeply rooted in the language and soil of their ancestors. ​Wisdom Through Anecdotes: The book is packed with traditional proverbs, witty local idioms, and moving folk stories. It reads less like a rigid biography and more like a warm, late-night conversation with a wise elder who is passing down the collective memory of his people. ​Poetic and Expressive Style: Whether you read it in its original form or through its celebrated translations (such as the immensely popular Punjabi and Urdu editions), the lyrical quality of the writing remains intact. It balances heavy philosophical questions about art and life with simplicity and humor. ​Bottom Line: Mera Dagistan is a must-read for anyone interested in cultural studies, poetry, or literature that explores identity and belonging. It forces the reader to look inward and reflect on their own relationship with their roots. A deeply moving, essential addition to any bookshelf.
