Frame Of References Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Frame Of References

Rating: 5.0


I know you are not wrong,
you saw from your own frame of reference,
and did what you thought was the right,
but it didn't prove that I am wrong,
I have a different frame of reference,
and I did what I thought to be right.
If both are right,
should we exchange our frames of references?
A true love can perform such magics!

Each one has his unique way of perceiving things. When there is true love, the differences in perceptions will melt away, leading to greater acceptance and there can be harmonious co existence!

This is indeed a wonderful translation of the Hindi poem that keeps the spirit of the poem intact. The last line added by you has complemented the idea. Thanks a lot, Sir.
