OZYMANDIAS
ओज़ीमंडिआस हैं
I met a traveller from an antique land
मैं एक यात्री से मिला जो एक प्राचीन देश से था।
Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
जो कहता था कि उसके देश में पत्थर के दो विशाल और शुष्कहीन पैरों वाली.....
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
मूर्ति आँधी रेत में धसी हुई हैं, जो की चकनाचूर होकर नीचे लेटी हुई हैं, उसके तेवर,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
और सुखे होंठ, यह बताते हैं कि उसने शांति आदेश का उपहास किया,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
वह मूर्ति कहती हैं कि मेरे उन जुनूनो को अच्छी तरह से पढ़ो।
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
जिन हाथों ने उसे रूप दिया और उसमें जान डाली,
And on the pedestal these words appear --
और आज भी वह शब्द इसमें दिखाई देते हैं....
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
"मेरा नाम ओज़ीमंडिआस हैं, राजाओं का राजा :
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
सुनो ताकतवर और निराश लोगो, मेरा ऊपर हुए काम को देखो ! "
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
कुछ भी नहीं बचा हैं, चारों तरफ सिवाए
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
विशाल विनाशकारी क्षया के, अन्नत उजाड़ के,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.'
जो की अकेले में, अपने स्तर को दूर-दूर तक रेत में खींची जा रही हैं।
This is a sonnet (a poem of fourteen lines – the first eight form an octave and the next six form a sestet).
It is about a ruined statue which has become so with the passage of time and here, we can correlate it with Shakespeare’s sonnet ‘Not marble, nor the gilded monuments.
The title ‘Ozymandias’ is the throne name of Egyptian king Ramesses. The poem talks about his foolish desire to immortalize himself by erecting a statue.
The poet meets a person who has been to an ancient place in the deserts, Egypt. He tells the poet about the ruined statue of the great powerful king, Ozymandias. It had been destroyed with the passage of time.
There were only the two legs which stood on a platform and the upper part of the body was nowhere to be seen. The face of the statue lay buried in the sand. He praises the talent of the artist as the minutest expressions and wrinkles had been perfectly copied by him.
The engraving on the platform reflects the pride and arrogance of Ozymandias. As the statue is now destroyed, the engraving is a mockery at the pride and ego of the king.
Today, after the passage of so many centuries, finally there is no trace of the king’s accomplishment in the vast stretch of the desert.
