Love Should Be Put Into Action! In Hindi/Urdu Poem by Ravi Kopra

"Love should be put into action! "
screamed the old hermit.
Across the pond an echo
tried and tried to confirm it.

Elizabeth Bishop

***

Sadhu ne bandook nikali
hawa main ek dum goli chalayi
peD ka patty kampne lagay
murgi uski chook chook karne lagi

"Mohabbat sirf baatoN se nahi hoti
badan mila mila kar hoti hai"
buDay sadhu ne chilla kar kaha.
talab k a paar se awaaz baar baar goonji -

"Mohabbat sirf baatoN se nahi hoti
badan mila mila kar hoti hai"
