All The Difficult Hours And Minutes - Poem By Jane Hirshfield In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

museebat se bharay har ghantay har minutes
kisi jar main namkeen achari aaloo bukharay se lagtay hain
juhray hue, apnay aap main cHupay rehtay hain
shark k teekhay meen-pakhon k chubnay ki
jar k glass ko shikayat kartay hain.
Aisay, un ka dukh shaanti main badal jaata hai.
Pehlay to uno jar rakhta hai
aur fir, hamari thali k chawal main milkar
swarag-paash paatay hain.

All the Difficult Hours and Minutes - Poem by Jane Hirshfield

All the difficult hours and minutes
are like salted plums in a jar.
Wrinkled, turn steeply into themselves,
they mutter something the color of sharkfins to the glass.
Just so, calamity turns toward calmness.
First the jar holds the umeboshi, then the rice does.
