I allowed myself to translate these beautiful words. 🙏
Thinking that the buyers of sadness have come
We have come to the market to sell dreams
Every time life has hidden itself making noise
We were so simple of heart that every time we came
Ah, alright..… your version just hit the right note. But I want to tweak the third line a bit — instead of life noise....I’d say .....life like a mischievous kid, knocked at the door and then hid. That’s what Ahmad Faraz, the renowned poet really meant to say.( Metaphors in poetry are difficult to translate exactly... that's why I skipped ;- )
