A Deafblind Poet By John Lee Clark In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Vo kavi jo kisi ko sunta nahin, kisi ko dekhta nahin, kabhi beth kar paDta nahin
Vo tatti kartay sameh, Braille main likhi magzeenaiN padta hai

Vo aadat se 19 shataabdi k khat likhta rehta hai
Aagay nahin baDta, peecHay dekhta rehta hai

Vo kabhi kucH nahin seekhta
Magar byaankar khoj main paDa rehta hai

Log us ko hamesha dhoodntay rehtay hain
Lakin koi bhi us ko naukri nahin deta

Vo apne bachoN se kuch nahin chupaata
Agar police kahey: ruk jaao, to kabhi nahin rukta

Us ko kuttay acHHay laga kartay thay
Ab billiaN us ko aCHHi lagti hain

Vo apni beeevi ki bahut sunta hai
Apne pyaray dostoN k liyay komal komal shaiaiN bunta rehta hai

Vo kavi jo kisi ki sunta nahin, kisi ko dekhta nahin
"smaaj ko kya dena hai" is main koi vishvaas nahin karta
