САРНЫ ШҮЛЭГ

Мөнгөн сарны туяаг бэхэн дотроо дусаавай
Мөнхийн гэрэлтэй зурганд минь мөнхүү чанар нь гэрэлтвэй

Үлгэр сарны туяаг үзгийнхээ үзүүрт сүвлэвэй
Үр хэдэн шүлгээ би үлэмжийн мяндсаар нь мэтгэвэй

Хаш сарны болорыг хатан зүрхэндээ тусгавай
Харанхуйд бичсэн шүлэгнээс минь хасын туяа цацарвай

Мэргэн сарны тольтод мэндийн дуугаа илгээвэй
Гэрлэн сүнстэй шүлэг минь гэгээн шамбалд нь оршвой.

SONG OF THE MOON
G Mend-Oyoo

I dropped into my ink the rays of the silver moon.
And their quality shone within the shining picture of eternity.

I wove the rays of the storytelling moon onto the tip of my vision.
And I sewed my poem-children with a perfect silken thread.

I struck the crystal of the nephrite moon onto my hardened heart.
And, in the darkness, there streamed from my poetry rays of jade.

I placed my song of grace before the mirror of the wise moon.And my poem, with its shining soul, dwelt in the light of Shambhala.

My Gente Lyric by G Mend-Ooyo

I am a child of nomadic Mongolia. We would move at the break of dawn. As a child I used to sit in a basket on the loaded cart, greeting the morning sunshine at the even pace of the plodding camel; perhaps it was then that I felt the rhythm of my future poems. When we reached our new camp, everything – the blue cranes, the small trace of white fog, the cluster of boulders, the variegated hills – would all seem new to me.

My father would seat me on his lap and hold his fiddle in front of me, then play a long clear melody – the “Jaakhan Sharga” of the Dariganga Mongols – and as this song came neighing and whinnying out at me, the local mountains would more grand, the water clearer, the song of the birds more melodious. . . Thus my little body became the instrument and my father played on me. My poetry was tuned to the melody of the Morin Khuur across the sacred space of the steppe...
