A Latin Poem Of Love By Catullus In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Lesbia apni pyaari chiDia ki cHaati pe
haathoN se pyaar karnay ko apne pass rakhti hai

aur baDay mazay k saath
baar baar us ko apni ungli kaatnay ko

cHoti cHoti chotaiN lainay ko
is ko deti hai

meri pyaar main jalti Lesbia
is tarah pyaar ka dukh bhulaati hai

O meri pyaari cHoti si chiDia!
agar main tere saath aisay khel sakoon

to tu mere saaray dukhoN ko
ek dum bhula daalo gi.

***

Written by Catullus
Translated from the Latin by Michael G. Donkin

Sparrow, o, Lesbia's sweet bird
whom she keeps near to stroke

at her bosom, to whom with delight
she offers a restless finger,

prodding for bites, tiny wounds,
if ever my fiery lady needs some

distraction from passion's sweet pain…
o! that I could play with you myself

little sparrow, you would free
my thoughts from despair.
