And Day Brought Back My Night (Aur Din Fir Meri Raat Bun Gaya) , A Poem Of Remorse By Geoffery Brock In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Kitni asaan ye baat thee:
tu mere ghar wapis a gayi.
BaDa khush hua main
kisi baat ki parvaah na ki
k tum mujh ko choD kar
kisi aur k saath kuch din rahi,
k main akela ghar main raha
ghar aur apne booDay kuttay ka
khyaal rakhta raha.
Main, tum aur hamaray khush kuttay ne
ye sub kuch maan liya tha.
Hum sotay rahay. Sansaar hamara khush tha.

So kar main subah utha
Purani khushion se dil bhara hua tha
jab takmeri aanhain na khuleeN
aur asliyaat saamnay na aaee:
ek, din nahin, saal guzar chukay hain.
do, tumara koi kutta na tha.
teen, tu waapis na aaeee.
Ab tum shaadi shuda ho
aur haan, haan, ek aur baat:
main ne tumain cHoda tha
yaad hai muje main ne tum ko cHoda tha?
haan, cHoda tha. muje ye baat yaad aaee.

And Day Brought Back My Night
BY GEOFFREY BROCK

It was so simple: you came back to me
And I was happy. Nothing seemed to matter
But that. That you had gone away from me
And lived for days with him—it didn't matter.
That I had been left to care for our old dog
And house alone—couldn't have mattered less!
On all this, you and I and our happy dog
Agreed. We slept. The world was worriless.

I woke in the morning, brimming with old joys
Till the fact-checker showed up, late, for work
And started in: Item: it's years, not days.
Item: you had no dog. Item: she isn't back,
In fact, she just remarried. And oh yes, item: you
Left her, remember? I did? I did. (I do.)
