Poets are just like everyone else - Susan Millar DuMars in Translation

Posted: Dec 21, 2007 Fri 01:49 pm     Views: 173    Interacts: 1

aaj naashta kartay huay
main aur meray mian
Petrachan ki shaeri kaisi hai
aur shakespaeare ki shaeri se
kaisay milti jhulti hai
ye guftgoo karnay lagay.

main sochti sochti
coffee peeti rehi
meray mian billi ko
chootay pyaar datey rahey.
baRi alishaan thee hamari guftgoo.

fir main nay aur meray main nay
khirki k parday band keeyay
aur tu-tu main-main karnay lagay
hawaa ko mukkay aur thappar laganay lagay.
hamari billi nay dukh bhari sansain leeN
apni moochoN ko saaf kiya
aur Guardian akhbaar paRnay main lag gayi.

-tr. Ravi Kopra
