क्या आप जानते हैं, महाराज, मुझे लगता है कि अगर हम इस युद्ध के बारे में बताने के लिए ज़िंदा बचे, तो हमारे पोते-पोतियाँ हम पर इसे मनगढ़ंत बताने का आरोप लगाएंगे। -मैरिएल

मेरी जान, शक्ति कई तरह की होती है। सही जगह पर होने पर मेरी शक्ति अथाह हो सकती है।

लोअर सिटी मेरी है, यहाँ के लोग मेरे हैं। बच्चों का अपहरण और खून-खराबा करने वाले जो भी लोग हैं, अगर वे मेरे हाथ लग गए, तो बेहतर है कि वे खैर मनाएँ, क्योंकि एक बार जब मैंने उन्हें अपने शिकंजे में कस लिया, तो मैं उन्हें कभी नहीं छोडूँगा।
The Lower City is MINE, Its People are MINE. If I Find Them That's Doing All This Kidnapping And Murdering, They'd Best Pray For Mercy, Because Once I Get My Teeth In 'Em I Will NEVER Let Them Go.

मैं इन सब से तंग आ चुकी हूँ। मुझे कुछ भी कहो, कहो कि मुझमें कोई उसूल नहीं, मुझे फर्क नहीं पड़ता। अब मैं किसी घोड़े पर सवार होकर तुम लोगों को डंडे से नहीं पीटने वाली।
I'm sick of this. Call me what you like, say I'm without honor, I don't care. I'm not getting on any more horses to whack you people with a stick.

"उसे खुद को परेशान मत करने दो," निको ने उन चारों से नरमी से कहा। "वह बूढ़ा है और डरा हुआ है।" "आप भी तो उसी जितने बूढ़े हैं, और आप हमसे नहीं डरते," ब्रायर ने बात काटते हुए कहा। निको ने उसकी तरफ गुस्से से घूरा। "बहुत-बहुत शुक्रिया," उसने तंज कसते हुए जवाब दिया।
Don't let him upset you," Niko told the four softly. "He's old and he's frightened." "You're as old as him, and you aren't scared of us," Briar pointed out. Niko glared at him. "Thank you so much," he retorted waspishly.

मुझे हमेशा उस पिल्ले के रूप में याद रखा जाएगा जो जेबकतरों के पीछे भागा और हाथ लगे सड़े हुए मछली के टुकड़े। मेरी आने वाली पीढ़ियाँ यही नाटक करेंगी कि मेरा खून उनके वंश से नहीं मिलता। नहीं... कोई मुझसे अपनी अगली पीढ़ी बढ़ाना भी नहीं चाहेगा।
I will be known forever as the Puppy who chased a cutpurse and caught fish garbage instead. My descendants will pretend I'm not in their bloodline. No – no one will want to make descendants with me. [from Beka Cooper's journal of her first day as a new Dog i.e. cop]

कोल ने अपनी आँखों में एक शरारती चमक लिए पूछा, "ये जादूगर, किस तरह की फीस लेंगे? क्या मुझे दो के दाम में एक की छूट मिलेगी, आख़िरकार वे जुड़वाँ हैं?"
These mages," Kol asked, a wicked glint in his eye, "what kind of fees will they charge? Will I get a two-for-one discount, since they're twins?

फ्रॉस्टपाइन ने सहजता से कहा, "यह दिलचस्प रहा है। मैं चाहता था कि दाजा को दूसरे लुहारों और दूसरे जादूगरों के काम करने के तौर-तरीकों का अनुभव हो, कम से कम इसलिए ताकि वह देख सके कि मेरा तरीका सबसे बेहतरीन है।"
It's been interesting, "Frostpine said casually. "I wanted Daja to get some experience of other smiths'-and other mages'- ways of doing things, if only so she can see mine is best.

जोरी कराह उठी, "ओह, दाजा, तुम बिल्कुल मेरी माँ की तरह बोलती हो।" वह पाठशाला से भाग निकली। दाजा ने आधा बुरा मानते हुए बुदबुदाया, "भई, मुझे ताने देने की तो कोई वजह नहीं बनती।"
Oh, Daja," moaned Jory, "you sound just like my parents." She ran from the schoolroom. "Well, there's no reason to insult me, "muttered Daja, half offended.

अब ट्रिस्टन को ढूँढना है, अगर वह इस हंगामे में बच गया हो। मुझे उम्मीद है कि वह बच गया होगा। मुझे उससे कुछ बातें कहनी हैं, और उनमें से कोई भी बात 'गॉड्स ब्लेस' जैसी दुआ वाली नहीं होगी। -नुमैर सल्मालिन

वह चिल्लाया, "मिथ्रोस का भाला, केल! तुम असली लड़की कब से बन गईं?" उसके एक चचेरे भाई ने बुदबुदाया, "तुमने तो पहले ही कहा था कि वह लड़की है..." ओवेन ने विरोध किया, "लेकिन वैसी लड़की-लड़की नहीं, जिसके सीने पर उभार वगैरह हों!" ...केल ने उसे बताया, "ओवेन, मैं काफी समय से लड़की हूँ।" उसके मुँहफट दोस्त ने जवाब दिया, "मुझे कभी अहसास ही नहीं हुआ। बात यह है कि तुम्हारे कोई खरबूजे जैसे उभार तो हैं नहीं, बस वे थोड़े नज़र आते हैं।"
Mithros's spear, Kel!" he exclaimed. "When did you turn into a real girl?" "You said she was a girl already," muttered one of his cousins... "But not a girl-girl, with a chest and all!" protested Owen. ..."I've been a girl for a while, Owen," Kel informed him. "I never realized," her too outspoken friend replied. "It's not like you've got melons or anything, they're just noticeable.

उसने मुझसे कहा, "आज सुबह जब मैं तैयार हो रही थी, तो अपनी हँसी की थैली भूल आई।" "क्या तुमने पिछले कुछ दिनों में कुछ नहीं खरीदा? कीमतें बढ़ चुकी हैं। पैसे दो या भूखे मरो, मेरे लिए दोनों एक बराबर हैं।"

मेरी शादी की योजनाओं के लिए बदकिस्मती से मुझे पता चला कि नेस्टोर एक बारडाश (पुरुष प्रेमी) है। मैं उन मर्दों से ईर्ष्या करता हूँ जो उसका साथ पाते हैं। उसने हमेशा मेरे साथ एक दोस्त जैसा बर्ताव किया है जिसकी अब मैं अपनी पुरानी रूमानी भावनाओं से ज्यादा कद्र करता हूँ।
Sadly for my wedding plans, I learned that Nestor is a bardash. I envy the men who enjoy his favors. He has always treated me with friendship which I now value more than my old romantic feelings.

और अब तुम पोर्ट केन जा रही हो। उन नाविक लड़कों से बचकर रहना। इससे पहले कि तुम्हें कुछ समझ आए, वे तुम्हारा घाघरा ऊपर कर देंगे और तुम्हारी कोख में बच्चा डाल देंगे।" मैंने शिकायत की, "हर कोई मुझे नाविकों से सावधान रहने के लिए क्यों कहता है? कोई इन नाविकों से यह क्यों नहीं कहता कि वे मुझसे दूर रहें?" नानी ने नाक सिकोड़ी, "ओह, अब तुम बड़ी तेज बन रही हो! बस इस बात का ध्यान रखना कि कोई और तुम्हें अचानक दबोचकर तुम्हारे सिर पर वार न कर दे!"
And now you're off to Port Caynn. Watch them sailor lads. They'll have your skirts up and a babe in your belly afore you know what you're about." "Everyone keep warning me about sailors," I complained. "Why can't someone tell the sailors to stay clear of me?" Granny snorted. "Oh, you're the fierce one now! Just take care no one else catches you unawares and knocks you on the nob!

गुडविन ने अपने प्याप की तरफ तेवर चढ़ाते हुए देखा। "पूरी इज्जत के साथ, मेरे मालिक, जब आप इतनी समझदारी की बात करते हैं तो मुझे नफरत होती है।"

जब वे हमें गेट तक छोड़ने आईं, तो वेन्ना हमारे पीछे-पीछे बाहर आई। उसने गुडविन से कहा, "क्वेरी, मैं मानती हूँ कि तुमने उस पर बहुत असर दिखाया है! उसके गालों पर लाली लौट आई है, और वह ऐसे चल रहा है मानो फिर से साठ साल का हो गया हो।" "क्या तुम वापस आओगी?" "बेशक," गुडविन ने कहा। "लेकिन कूपर को धन्यवाद दो जिसकी वजह से उसकी तबीयत सुधरी है। एक बार कूपर ने उसे दो-चार बार खरी-खोटी सुना दी, तो वह एकदम चंगा हो गया।"
Wenna followed us out. "You've done him some good, Clary, I have to say! He's got color in his cheeks, and he's stepping along as if he was sixty again," she told Goodwin as she walked us to the gate. "You'll come back?" "Of course," Goodwin said. "But thank Cooper for his improved spirits. Once he'd insulted her a few times, he was in the pink.

वह हमारे पीछे ऐसे पड़ी है जैसे कचरे पर maggots (कीड़े), सिर्फ इसलिए क्योंकि कल मैंने एक जेबकत्रे को रोक लिया था।

उसका खुला हुआ हाथ मुट्ठी में भींच चुका था। मैं शांत खड़ी रही, इस इंतज़ार में कि वह कुछ कहे, मुझसे कहे कि उसे मुझे यहाँ कभी नहीं छोड़ना चाहिए था, जहाँ उसके अपने दोस्त भी मुझसे मदद की उम्मीद कर सकते थे। आखिरकार उसने मेरी तरफ देखा। उसकी आँखें सख्त थीं, पर उसने एक भी आँसू नहीं गिरने दिया। उसकी आवाज़ बहुत धीमी थी, उसने मुझसे कहा, "कूपर, यह वह समय है जब हमें उन लोगों को दोषी ठहराना चाहिए जो इसके असली गुनहगार हैं। उन अनाज व्यापारियों को, और ट्रेड्समैन कैनल के बिके हुए डॉग्स को। जब यह सब खत्म हो जाएगा, तो हम ब्लैक गॉड के दरबार में उसके लिए एक भेंट चढ़ाएँगे, और इन सौदागरों को टुकड़े-टुकड़े करने में जुट जाएँगे, ठीक है? फिलहाल हम अपने गम को एक तरफ रखते हैं।"
Her free hand was clenched in a fist. I held still, waiting for her to say something, to tell me she should have never left me here, where her friends might look to me for help. Finally she looked at me. Her eyes were hard, but she'd let no tears fall. "This is where we blame those who are responsible, Cooper, she told me, her voice very soft. "The colemongers, and the bought Dogs at Tradesmen's kennel. We'll leave an offering for him with the Black God when all this is done, and we'll occupy ourselves with tearing these colemongers apart. all right? We put grief aside for now.

सैंड्री ने माना, "मैं कभी-कभार बेवकूफी भरी हरकतें कर बैठती हूँ। मेरी माँ भी यही कहती थी।" दाजा ने व्यापारी कोमा की तस्वीर के पीछे बड़ी सावधानी से एक मोमबत्ती रखी और बोली, "अगर तुम्हें पता है कि तुम ऐसा करती हो, तो तुम इसे रोक सकती हो।" "तब तो तुम कभी बेवकूफ नहीं रही होगी, वरना तुम्हें पता होता कि यह बिना किसी चेतावनी के चुपचाप आ जाती है।"
"I am silly, now and then," Sandry admitted. "My mother said I was, anyway." "If you know, you can stop it." Carefully Daja placed a candle behind Trader Koma's image. "Then you've never been silly, or you'd know it just creeps up without any warning."

सैंड्री: "कुछ तो ऐसा होगा जो हम कर सकते हैं।" लार्की: "हम जादूगर हैं। हम वही करते हैं जो हमारे बस में होता है, लेकिन कुछ समस्याएँ सुलझाने के लिए बहुत बड़ी होती हैं।" सैंड्री: "तो फिर मैं दुआ करती हूँ कि मैं जादूगर न होती। ऐसे जादू का क्या फायदा, जिससे आप लोगों की मदद ही न कर सके।"
Sandry: "There has to be something we can do." Lark: "We're mages. We do what we can, but some problems are too big to fix." Sandry: "Then I wish I weren't a mage. What good is magic, if you can't use it to help people.

एवी, मुझे खुद इंसानों से बहुत ज्यादा लगाव नहीं है, लेकिन मैंने कुछ सोच-समझकर ही अपनी कसमें खाई थीं। इस दुनिया में दो तरह के लोग होते हैं—एक जो उजाड़ते हैं, और दूसरे जो बनाते हैं। मैं बनाना चाहती हूँ, उजाड़ना नहीं। तुम्हें खुद से पूछना चाहिए कि तुम क्या बनना चाहती हो।

ओकब्रिज अपने काम को बड़े नाटकीय ढंग से और ऐसी भविष्यवाणियों के साथ करता था जिससे सब कुछ भयानक रूप से गड़बड़ा जाए। सर्दियों के बीच में उससे निपटने के बाद, केल सोच रही थी कि वह आदमी दिल का दौरा पड़ने से मरा क्यों नहीं। इसके विपरीत, वह आपदाओं में और लोगों को गलत जगहों पर बैठे देखने में खूब फलता-फूलता नजर आता था।
Oakbridge did his work with dramatics and prophecies that all would go horribly awry. Having dealt with him over midwinter, Kel wondered why the man hadn’t died of a heart attack. Instead he seemed to thrive on disaster and finding people seated in the wrong places.

उसने इसके बजाय पूछा, "क्या मैंने कभी जिक्र किया है कि जब आप सही होती हैं तो मुझे उससे नफरत होती है?" अलाना ने अपना सिर हिलाया। "नहीं, मुझे नहीं लगता कि तुमने कभी ऐसा कहा है। जहाँ तक मुझे याद है, तुम्हें कभी ऐसा लगा ही नहीं कि मैं सही थी।"

उउसने सीखा कि भावनाओं से लड़ना आसान नहीं होता। वह उसकी मुस्कान और तारीफों को सहेजकर रखती थी और इस बात पर ज्यादा ध्यान न देने की कोशिश करती थी कि वह यही सब अपनी दोस्त केल को भी देता था। उसकी खोई-खोई नजरें, कविताएं और दीवानेपन के वो दौर तो उलाइन के लिए थे। उस बड़ी लड़की से ईर्ष्या न करना उसके लिए बहुत मुश्किल था।
Feelings, she learned, were hard to fight. She treasured his smiles and compliments and tried not to dwell on the fact that he gave this things to his friend Kel. His dreamy-eyed gazes, poems, and fits of passionate melancholy were for Uline. It was hard not to resent the older girl.

आदमी तुम्हारे घरों में घुसे, उन्होंने तुम्हारे परिवारों को मारा, तुम्हें डराया—और तुम डर के मारे उन्हें कुछ नहीं करने देतीं कि कहीं तुम्हें चोट न लग जाए। यह बहुत स्वार्थीपन है। तुम्हें कैसा लगेगा अगर मैं तुम्हारा धनुष ले लूं और यह कहूं कि मैं तुम्हारी इतनी परवाह करता हूं कि तुम्हें लड़ने नहीं दे सकता?

बिल्कुल नहीं। मुझे लात मारना बंद करो, डाइन। जरा यह समझो कि टोर्टॉल के कई असरदार रईसों और जादूगरों के लिए वह बहुत अहमियत रखती है।" नुमैर की आवाज धीमी और लगभग दोस्ताना थी, लेकिन उसकी आंखें सख्त थीं। "उनके महामहिम। लेडी अलान्न और उनके पति, पाइरेट्स स्वूप के बैरन। और मैं खुद। हम में से किसी को भी यह बिल्कुल अच्छा नहीं लगेगा अगर हमें जरा भी यह महसूस हुआ कि उसके साथ खिलवाड़ किया जा रहा है, खासकर किसी ऐसे युवा द्वारा जो उसके प्रति अपनी जिम्मेदारी निभाने के लिए आजाद नहीं है।" "नुमैर," डाइन ने गुस्से में गुर्राते हुए कहा। "क्या मैं तुमसे एक मिनट अकेले में बात कर सकती हूँ?" "नहीं। मेरा पैर कुचलने से भी कोई फायदा नहीं होगा। क्या मैं अपनी बात साफ-साफ समझा पाया, प्रिंस कद्दार?"
Indeed Not. Stop kicking me, Daine. You understand, she is very important to a number of powerful nobles and mages in Tortall." Numair's voice was quiet, almost friendly; his eyes were hard. "Their majesties. Lady Alanna and her husband, the baron of Pirate's Swoop. Me. All of us would take iit amiss if we thought for a moment she was being trifled with, particularly by a young man who wasn't free to do the right thing by her." "Numair," Daine growled.

हम एक ऐसे दौर में जी रहे हैं जो अंधेरे से भरा है। किताबें भी उतनी ही गहरी और उलझन भरी हैं जितना कि वह सब जो आज के किशोरों को मीडिया के जरिए हर दिन परोसा जा रहा है।

नील ने बहुत्र धीरज दिखाने का नाटक करते हुए सिर हिलाया और कहा, "ये फौजी लोग... समस्याओं को हल करने का तुम्हारा बस एक ही तरीका होता है—उन्हें डंडे से पीट-पीटकर सुलझाना।"
Military folk," Neal said with exaggerated patience, shaking his head. "The only way you know to solve problems is by beating them with a stick.

एक अच्छा दोस्त गिरने पर आपको उठाने में मदद करता है। और पक्का वाला दोस्त आप पर हँसता है और दोबारा आपका पैर अड़ाकर गिराने की कोशिश करता है। — मुझे पक्का नहीं पता

जब बात उसकी अपनी मर्जी की होती, तो उसका मन हमेशा यही करता कि वह एक दिन का अभ्यास छोड़ दे, या बस एक नजर नीचे देखे और फिर वापस जमीन पर उतर आए। केल को अपनी कसम निभाने के लिए खुद को जबरदस्ती रोककर रखना पड़ता था।
When it was her own doing, she was always tempted to skip a day, or just glance down, then get back to the ground. Kel had to force herself to keep her vow.

जब तक समाज में अमीर और गरीब, ऊँच और नीच का भेद रहेगा, ताकतवरों की ही बात सुनी जाएगी और कमज़ोरों की अनदेखी की जाएगी। यही दुनिया का दस्तूर है।
So long as there are nobles and commoners, the wealthy and the poor, those with power will be heard, and those without ignored. That's the world.

तुमने उसे नहीं मारा। वह तो तुम्हें मार ही डालता, फिर भी तुमने उसकी जान नहीं ली। — तो क्या हुआ? वह बेवकूफ था। अगर मैं हर बेवकूफ को मारने लगूँ, तो सोने का वक्त ही नहीं मिलेगा।

केल ने चेतावनी दी, "एक शब्द भी नहीं। टोबे और मेरे बीच एक समझौता हो गया है।" नील के होंठों पर मुस्कراہट तैर गई। "मुझे क्यों लगता है कि उस समझौते का ज़्यादातर हिस्सा तुमने ही तय किया है?"

पाउंड्स की ज़िंदगी हम सब से ज़्यादा आसान थी। सड़क पर किसी काले बिल्ली को कोई नोटिस नहीं करता था। वह यहाँ-वहाँ रुककर किसी भी दिलचस्प चीज़ को सूंघता रहता था। हमारा चूहा जहाँ भी रुका, पाउंड्स वहीं था — इतना करीब कि चूहे की नाक के अंदर का हाल भी दिख जाए। मुझे उस पर बहुत गर्व हुआ। आखिरकार वह एक बेहतरीन भगवान की तरह खुद को काम में तो ला रहा था! चूँकि मेरे इस विचार को शायद ईश-निंदा मान लिया जाता, इसलिए मैंने मन ही मन देवी और मिथ्रोस से प्रार्थना की। मैंने उनसे माफी माँगी और अनुरोध किया कि वे इसे गलत न समझें। चूँकि मैं अपनी जगह पर ही राख नहीं बन गई, इसलिए मुझे लगता है कि उन्होंने मुझे माफ कर दिया होगा, या शायद उन्होंने मेरी गुस्ताखी सुनी ही नहीं।
Pounce had it easier than any of us. No one noticed a black cat in the street. He stopped here and there to sniff aught of interest. Wherever our Rat stopped, Pounce was there, close enough to see up the Rat's nose. I was so proud. Now there was a proper god, making himself useful! Since my thought might be deemed blasphemy, I said silent prayers to the Goddess and to Mithros. I begged forgiveness and asked them not to misunderstand. Since I wasn't blasted where I stood, I guess they forgave me, or they hadn't heard my blasphemy.

"मैं तुमसे प्यार करती हूँ, जोनाथन," उसने फुसफुसा कर कहा। एक लंबा हाथ आगे बढ़ा और उसने उसे अपनी बाँहों के बीच खींच लिया। "मुझे मालूम है," उसने कहा। "मैं तो बस यह सुनिश्चित करना चाहता था कि तुम्हें भी यह बात अच्छी तरह पता हो।"
"I love you, Jonathan," she whispered. A long arm snaked around her, and he pulled her against his side. "I know," he said. "I just wanted to be sure you knew it, too."

लानत है उस पर जिसके बदन पर लोहे जैसी कसी हुई मांसपेशियाँ हैं, जिसकी रंगत दूधिया और होंठ गुलाब की पंखुड़ियों जैसे नरम हैं। लानत है उस पर जिसके बाल धूप जैसे सुनहरे और आँखें रात जैसी काली हैं। लानत है उस पर जिसके चाल-ढाल में बिल्ली जैसी फुर्ती और हाथ ठंडे व सधे हुए हैं। और अब मैं वही बहस कागज़ पर कर रही हूँ जो अक्सर कई रातों तक मेरे अपने दिमाग में चलती रहती है। मैं जानती हूँ कि मेरा फैसला समझदारी भरा है, लेकिन जब रोस्टो मुझसे कोई प्यार भरा धोखा छीन लेता है, तो उन पलों में मैं अपनी अक्ल से नहीं सोचती।
Curse him for being all tight muscle, with ivory skin and a mouth as soft as rose petals. Curse him for having hair as fair as the sun, and eyes as black as night. Curse him for having the grace of a cat and deft, cool hands. And now I am having the same argument on paper that I have in my own head on too many nights. I know my choice is sensible, but it isn't my common sense I think with, those times Rosto's stolen a kiss from me.

एक बार पक्का हो जाने के बाद, वह ज़रा भी नहीं डगमगाई। मुझे ही उसे पानी पीने या कुछ खाने के लिए रोकना पड़ता था। वह मान तो जाती, पर बेचैन रहती। उसकी आँखों में साफ पढ़ा जा सकता था — मानो वह मुझसे कह रही हो, "चलो ठीक है, मैं जानती हूँ कि तुम मेरी ताकत बनाए रखना चाहते हो, पर गंध हल्की पड़ रही है, समझे!" और मैं जवाब देता, "मैं जानता हूँ, मेरी बच्ची, पर इस वक्त मेरे पास सिर्फ तुम हो और मैं तुम्हारा पूरा ख्याल रखूँगा।"
Once she was certain, she didn't waiver. I had to make her stop for water or a bite to eat. She obeyed, but she was restless.

And I'd say, "I know, girl, buy you're what I have and I'm going to take care of you.

"Of course I care, you unprincipled pickpocket!" she whispered. "Of course I care.

"मेरे सामने दम मत तोड़ना," उसने फुसफुसा कर कहा, जब रात के बारह बज चुके थे और वह अभी भी बेसुध था। "यह कंधे पर बस एक मामूली सा ज़ख्म है। हे देवी, जॉर्ज—मेरे सामने अपनी जान मत देना।" उसकी आँखें झपक कर खुलीं और वह मुस्कुराया। "मुझे पता नहीं था कि तुम्हें मेरी इतनी परवाह है," उसने फुसफुसाया। "और तुम मेरी तौहीन क्यों कर रही हो? मैं ऐसे मामूली से खरोंच से नहीं मरने वाला; इससे बुरे ज़ख्म मैंने झेले हैं।" अलाना ने अपने भीगे हुए गाल पोछे। "बेशक मुझे परवाह है, तुम उसूलों से आज़ाद जेबकतरे!" उसने फुसफुसा कर कहा। "बेशक मुझे परवाह है।"

سیলাই میں مصروف کسی عورت سے یہ امید کون کرتا ہے کہ وہ آس پاس کی باتوں پر دھیان دے رہی ہوگی؟ کسی مرد کی ماں یا بہن سلائی کرتے ہوئے بھی آس پاس کی ہر بات سن لیتی ہیں، لیکن پھر بھی مرد یہی سوچتا ہے کہ جو عورت سوئی دھاگے کا کام کرتی ہے، اس کی ساری عقل اسی کام میں لگ جاتی ہے۔ آپ خنجر لٹکانے کے مقابلے چادروں کی ہیمنگ کرتے ہوئے کہیں زیادہ بہتر جاسوس بن سکتی ہیں۔
No one expects a woman busy at her sewing to pay attention to what’s being said around her. Nevermind if a man’s mother and sister showerd them they heard everything while they stictched, he’ll still think a woman who plies her needles saves all her brains for the work. You’re a far better spy hemming sheets than if you clank with daggers.

کیا تم کچھ جانتے ہو؟ یہاں ایسے خوفناک ریت کے طوفان آتے ہیں جو انسان اور گھوڑے دونوں کو ادھیڑ کر رکھ دیتے ہیں اور انہیں ریت میں دفن کر دیتے ہیں—میں نے یہ سب اپنی آنکھوں سے دیکھا ہے۔ میں نے ایک ناخلف بادشاہ اور اس کے تخت کے متلاشیوں کی حماقت کے سبب لاشوں کے ڈھیر اپنے سر سے اونچے دیکھے ہیں۔ میں ایک ایسے برفانی طوفان میں بھی زندہ بچ نکلا ہوں جس نے راستے میں آنے والے ہر جاندار کو جما کر پتھر کر دیا تھا۔ ان سب قوتوں کے مقابلے میں تمہاری حیثیت محض ایک انسان کی ہے، اور میں تم سے اچھے سے نمٹنا جانتا ہوں۔
You know something? There are sandstorms that strip man and horse and bury them — I've seen them. I saw bones piled higher than my head for the folly of a bad king and those who wanted his throne. I lived through a blizzard that froze every other living creature solid. Against those things, you're only a man. I can deal with you.

بریئر: "وہ کبھی آپ کو پوری بات نہیں بتاتے۔ وہ کہتے ہیں کہ جادوگروں کے پاس حیرت انگیز طاقتیں ہوتی ہیں اور وہ طرح طرح کے راز سیکھتے ہیں۔ لیکن کوئی یہ نہیں بتاتا کہ کچھ راز ایسے بھی ہوتے ہیں جنہیں انسان کبھی جاننا نہیں چاہتا۔" روزتھورن: "تم بس اتنا کر سکتے ہو کہ برائی کا توڑ کرنے کے لیے اچھائی سیکھو۔ جو نیکی تم کر سکتے ہو، اسے سیکھو اور کر دکھاؤ۔ پھر اگر کبھی تم خوف سے پسینے میں ڈوبے ہوئے جاگو، تو تمہارے پاس اس خواب کا مقابلہ کرنے کے لیے کوئی اچھا کام موجود ہو۔"
Briar: "They never tell you some things. They tell you mages have wonderful power and they learn all kinds of secrets. Nobody ever mentions that some secrets you don't ever want to learn." Rosethorn: "All you can do is learn good to balance the bad. Learn and do all the good within your reach. Then, if you wake in a sweat, you have something to set against the dream.

فراس پائن نے منہ بنایا۔ پیالہ اٹھا کر اس نے پوری شراب ایک ہی سانس میں اپنے حلق سے اتار لی۔ "آأأگھ!" اس نے چیخ کر کہا، اور اس کی آواز سمندر کنارے سے واپس آنے کے بعد سب سے زیادہ توصیفی اور طاقتور لگ رہی تھی۔ "عورت، کیا تم مجھے مارنے کی کوشش کر رہی ہو؟" روزتھورن نے اسے جواب دیا، "اگر میں کسی کو مارنے کا ارادہ کروں، تو میں اسے مار ڈالتی ہوں، کوئی ادھوری کوشش نہیں کرتی۔"
Frostpine made a face. Lifting the cup, he dumped its contents down his throat. “Auugghh!” he yelled, his voice stronger than it had been since his return from the harbor. "Are you trying to kill me, woman?" "If I mean to kill someone, I do it," Rosethorn told him. "I don't try.

میں نے اسکین سے کہا، "آج کل زندگی ایسی لگ رہی ہے جیسے تلوار کی دھار پر چل رہے ہوں، یہ پتہ ہی نہیں چلتا کہ انسان کس طرف گر جائے گا۔" جب ہم سڑک پر آئے تو اسکین نے میرے کندھے پر ہاتھ تھپتھپایا اور بولا، "دل چھوٹا مت کرو، بیکا! شاید تم پہلے اس تلوار کی دھار سے گرنے والے تھے، پر آج نہیں،" وہ ہمیشہ کی طرح ہنستے ہوئے بولا، "آج تو ہم خود اس دھار سے چھلانگ لگانے والے ہیں۔"

میں خوابوں سے کہانیاں نہیں لکھتی کیونکہ مجھے اپنے خواب یاد ہی نہیں رہتے، لیکن ایک بار میرے ذہن میں جڑواں بچوں کا ایک ادھورا سا خیال آیا جن کے والد انہیں بتا رہے تھے کہ اگلے آٹھ سالوں تک ان کی زندگی کیسے گزرے گی۔ میں نے اس پر ایک منظر لکھا، پھر دوسرا، پھر تیسرا، اور اس طرح پانچ مہینے کے اندر میرے پاس 732 صفحات تیار ہو گئے۔
I don't write from dreams because I don't remember mine, but I had a fragment of an image left about twins, whose father was telling them how their lives were going to go for the next eight years.

बहुत जल्दी मत करो," राउल ने आवाज़ लगाई। "चलो किसी को डराएँ नहीं।" कूरियर ने चहकते हुए कहा, "महामहिम ने पूरी जानबूझकर और तय गति से चलने को कहा है!" लेरंत की घूर के आगे वह सहम गया। राउल ने उससे कहा, "हम वैसे ही चल रहे हैं। पूरी योजना और समझदारी के साथ।"

नेस्टोर ने मुझसे धीरे से पूछा, "बेका, तुम्हारा चेहरा पनीर जैसा क्यों लग रहा है?" "हमें मदद मिल गई है।" मैं इतनी घबराई हुई थी कि उसे यह बता ही नहीं पाई कि मुझे इतनी जल्दी मदद मिलने की उम्मीद नहीं थी। चमत्कार मुझ जैसे लोगों के लिए थोड़ी होते हैं, क्या नेस्टोर यह बात नहीं जानता था? वे तो सिर्फ कुलीन लोगों के हिस्से आते हैं।
Why do you look like cheese, Beka?" Nestor asked me quietly. "We've got help." I was too flummoxed to tell him I hadn't expected help to come so fast. Miracles aren't for the likes of me, didn't Nestor know that? Only the nobility gets them.

ज़्यादातर इंसानों को लगता है कि शांति का मतलब बस खामोश रहना है। वे यह नहीं देख पाते कि कभी-कभी दुश्मन एक साँप की तरह चुपचाप होता है। जब वह उनके सारे अंडे चुरा लेता है, तब जाकर उन्हें समझ आता है कि खामोशी में भी वैसे ही खतरे छिपे होते हैं जितने कि शोर-शराबे में।

"तुम ज़रा भी रोमांटिक नहीं हो, है ना?" उसने मज़े लेते हुए पूछा। वह पीछे होकर बैठ गई और उसे घूरने लगी। उसे अब लगने लगा था कि नील को संभालकर रखने के लिए किसी की ज़रूरत है। उसके विचार सबसे अजीब हुआ करते थे। "रोमांस? क्या वह प्यार-व्यार जैसी चीज़ नहीं है?" उसने आखिर पूछा। "यह सिर्फ प्यार से कहीं बढ़कर है। यह रंग है, और-और आग है। क्या तुम नहीं चाहती कि चीज़ें शानदार और भव्य हों?" उसने उसे समझाने की कोशिश करते हुए कहा। "समझो, ड्रामा, अहमियत, असीम जुनून।" "मैं बस एक शूरवीर (नाइट) बनना चाहती हूँ," केल ने अपना इस्तेमाल किया हुआ बर्तन ट्रे पर रखते हुए जवाब दिया। "अपनी सब्ज़ियाँ खाओ। सेहत के लिए अच्छी होती हैं।"
You aren't a bit romantic, are you?" he asked, amused. She sat back and stared at him. She was beginning to think that Neal required a keeper. He seemed to have the craziest ideas. "Romance? Isn't that love stuff?" She asked finally. "It's more than just love. It's color, and-and fire. You don't want things magnificent and filled with-with grandeur," he said, trying to make her understand. "You know, drama. Importance. Transcendent Passion." "I just want to be a knight," Kel retorted, putting her used tableware on her tray. "Eat your vegetables. They're good for you.

"Hello," he greeted her cheerfully. "You must be Alan of Trebond. You're very hardy to have made it this far the first day. Has anyone said what we try to learn in here?"

मुझे फैंस से मिलना बहुत पसंद है। वे हमेशा मज़ेदार होते हैं, कहने के लिए हमेशा अच्छी बातें होती हैं, पूछने के लिए समझदार सवाल होते हैं, और भविष्य में तलाशने के लिए मेरे पास ढेरों विचार छोड़ जाते हैं।

वह ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा आत्मविश्वासी था," उसने उससे कहा। "और मैं जीत गई, तो इसका मतलब है कि देवताओं को भी यही लगा होगा कि मैं सही हूँ। वरना वे मुझे हरवा देते। तुम जानते ही हो कि द्वंद्वयुद्ध (ट्रायल बाय कॉम्बैट) का नियम कैसे काम करता है।" "तुम इसलिए जीती क्योंकि तुम बेहतरीन हो," उसने सुधार करते हुए कहा। "मुझे यह बात गले नहीं उतरती कि देवता दिव्य लोकों में बैठकर हमेशा घुड़दौड़ और द्वंद्वयुद्धों पर सट्टेबाजी करते रहते हैं।"
He was overconfident”, she told him. “And I won so the gods must have thought I was right. Otherwise they’d have made me lose.

ग्रैन, भगवान के वास्ते, आपकी ऐसी ही बातें हैं जो दंगे भड़काती हैं!" मैंने अपनी आवाज़ धीमी रखते हुए कहा। "क्या आप अपनी ज़बान को थोड़ा लगाम नहीं दे सकतीं?" उन्होंने मेरी तरफ देखा और आह भरी। "लड़की, क्या तुम कभी रुककर सोचती हो कि लोग तुम्हारे लिए चारा क्यों फेंकते हैं? यह देखने के लिए कि तुम उसमें फँसती हो या नहीं? अगर तुम थोड़ा relax (बेफिक्र) नहीं हुई, तो तुम्हें कभी कोई मर्द नहीं मिलेगा।" मेरी प्यारी बूढ़ी ग्रैन। यह हैरानी की बात है कि उनके सारे बच्चे पादरियों जितने पागल नहीं हैं, जबकि वह उनके दिमाग का वैसे ही कचूमर निकाल देती हैं जैसे मेरा निकालती हैं। "ग्रानी," मैंने उनसे कहा, "यह बहुत गंभीर मामला है। मैं बेफिक्र नहीं हो सकती, बिल्कुल वैसे ही जैसे कोई 'डॉग' (रक्षक) नहीं हो सकता। मैं कोई मर्द तलाशने नहीं निकली हूँ। वह आखिरी चीज़ है जिसकी मुझे ज़रूरत है।"

आखिरकार निको ने अपने हाथ नीचे किए और आँखें खोलीं। उसका बेहतरीन पेड़ का भ्रम पूरी तरह ठोस होकर टिक गया। ब्रायर ने तारीफ करते हुए कहा, "बहुत बढ़िया। इससे अच्छा तो मैं खुद भी नहीं कर पाता।" ट्रिस ने बुदबुदाया, "तुम खुद तो कर ही नहीं पाते।" ब्रायर ने उसे नजरअंदाज कर दिया। "लेकिन तुम्हें यहाँ आसपास कभी कॉर्क ओक (बबलूत) का पेड़ नहीं मिलेगा। यहाँ बहुत ठंड है।" निको ने उस लड़के को तिरछी नज़रों से देखा। "माफ़ कीजिएगा?" ब्रायर ने कंधे उचकाए। "बस, ऐसे ही ज़िक्र करना चाहा।" निको घूरने लगा।
At last Niko dropped his hands, and opened his eyes. His perfect tree illusion solidified and settled. "Very nice," said Briar with approval. "Couldn't have done better myself" "Couldn't do it at all yourself," muttered Tris. Briar ignored her. "But you'd never find a cork oak in these parts. Too cold." Niko looked down his nose at the boy. "I beg your pardon?" Briar shrugged. "Just thought I'd mention it." Niko glared.

I suppose he could have changed," Neal said dryly. "I myself have noticed my growing resemblance to a daffodil." The other pages snorted. Kel eyed her friend. "You do look yellow around the edges," she told him, her face quite serious. "I hadn’t wanted to bring it up." "We daffodils like to have things brought up," Neal said, slinging an arm around her shoulders. "It reminds us of spring.

What trouble have you brought to my doorstep, Beka" she asked. "I don't see where blaming me for things that began months ago will be useful," I replied.

अगर मैं कहूँ कि तुम एक गड़ेरिये के बेटे हो, तो तुम्हें कहना चाहिए, 'जी हाँ, लॉर्ड रालोन।'" एलाना गुस्से से काँप उठी। "इससे तो अच्छा मैं सुअर को चूम लूँ! क्या तुम यही करते रहे हो—सुअर को चूमना? या चूमे जाना?"
If I say you're a goatherd's son, you say, 'Yes, Lord Ralon.'" Alanna gasped with fury. "I'd as soon kiss a pig! Is that what you've been doing-kissing pigs? Or being kissed?

अगर हम झगड़ा मोल लेंगे, तो हम भी उतने ही बुरे हैं जितने वे। लड़ाई का इस्तेमाल सिर्फ उन लोगों की मदद के लिए होना चाहिए जो अपना बचाव खुद नहीं कर सकते, बात खत्म।" "अच्छा, अगर मैं मुकाबला न करूँ और वे मुझे पीट-पीटकर अधमरा कर दें, तो मैं भी उन्हीं लोगों में शामिल हो जाऊँगा जिनकी मुझे रक्षा करनी चाहिए।"
If we pick a fight, then we're just as bad as them. Combat should be used just to help people who can't defend themselves, period." "Well, if I don't fight back and they pound on me, then I'm one of the people I should be defending.

क्या हम यह कहते हैं कि, ओह अब मैं कमज़ोरों और छोटों के साथ अच्छा बर्ताव करूँगा? या हम वही करते हैं जो हमने पेज (शिष्य) रहते हुए सीखा था?
Do we say, Oh now I'm going to be nice to the weak and the small? Or do we do as we learned when we were pages?

[अ]भिमान ऐसी चीज़ है जिसे सिर्फ पैसे वाले लोग ही अफोर्ड कर सकते हैं।

दंगों में फँसे लोग हमारे चचेरे भाई, बहनें, भाई और चाचा नहीं होते। वे तो एक ऐसे बड़े जानवर का हिस्सा होते हैं जिसके कई हाथ और पंजे होते हैं, और जो पत्थरों और डंडों से लैस होता है।
Folk caught up in a riot aren't our cousins and sisters, our brothers and uncles. They are part of a big animal with many arms and claws, armed with stones and sticks.

मैंने कहा कि मैं गिर गया था। अच्छा। ज़मीन ने तुम्हारी नाक से खून बहा दिया, होंठ फाड़ दिया, और आँख पर एक साथ घूँसा मार दिया। मैंने कहा कि मैं इस बारे में बात नहीं करना चाहता।
I said I fell down. Ah. The ground bloodied your nose, split yer lip, and punched ye in th' eye, all at once. I said I don't want to talk about it.

जब मैं तीसरी और चौथी कक्षा में थी, तब मैं मध्यकाल की चीज़ों के लिए पूरी तरह पागल थी।
I was nuts for stuff in the Middle Ages when I was just in the third and fourth grades.

'लायनेस' से उबरने के बाद, मैं जानवरों पर कुछ लिखना चाहती थी क्योंकि मुझे पौराणिक जीव, खासकर ड्रैगन बहुत पसंद हैं। 12 साल की उम्र में, मैं उन अर्ध-एकांतवासियों में से एक थी जो इंसानों से बेहतर जानवरों के साथ पेश आती थी। उसी से वह किरदार पैदा हुआ, डाइन, जो जानवरों से बात कर सकती थी।
After I recovered from 'Lioness', I wanted to write something about animals because I really like mythical creatures, especially dragons. At 12, I was one of those semi-recluses who did better with animals than people. Out of that, came the character, Daine, who could communicate with animals.

मैंने प्रथम पुरुष (फर्स्ट पर्सन) में लघु कथाएँ लिखी हैं, लेकिन तृतीय पुरुष (थर्ड पर्सन) में लिखने पर आपका नियंत्रण बहुत ज़्यादा रहता है। तृतीय पुरुष में, आपको पता होता है कि हर कोई क्या सोच रहा है। प्रथम पुरुष बहुत सीमित होता है, और मैं पहले कभी प्रथम पुरुष में कोई उपन्यास नहीं लिख पाई थी।
I've written short stories in first person, but you have so much more control writing in third person. Third person, you know what everybody's thinking. First person is very limiting, and I could never sustain a first person novel before.

मेरी हर एक महिला नायिका के साथ निश्चित रूप से यह होता है कि उन्हें अपने से बड़ी कोई ऐसी चीज़ मिल जाती है जिसकी सेवा करने में उन्हें गर्व महसूस होता है। यह परिवार को छोड़ना नहीं है।
What happens to each of my female heroes, certainly, is they find something bigger than themselves that they are honored to serve. It's not giving up your family.

क्या इस देश में कोई भी ऐसे पेश आता है जैसे उसे आना चाहिए?

मुझे ऐसा क्यों लग रहा है कि अगर तुमने मुझे परेशान किया, तो मैं हमारे साल के बाकी साथियों को बता दूँगा कि तुम्हारे परिवार का उपनाम 'मीटहेड' (बेवकूफ) है?
Why do I get the feeling that if you give me a hard time, I'll tell all of our year-mates your family nickname is Meathead?

तुम एक अनचाही और चिड़चिड़ी बला हो। कहीं और जाकर अपना रोना रोओ।
