Before The Dawn Poem By Federico García Lorca In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Subah Aanay Se Pehlay

Mohabbat ki tarah
dhanu-rashi bhi
andhay hotay hain

Haryaali raat main
dil-kash mohabbat k geet
garm kumudni k nishan choD jaatay hain

Chaand baingni baadloN main
cHuppa hua, nikal kar aa jaata hai
is ki kirnaiN shabnam se bhar jaati hain

Haan, haan, mohabbat ki tarah
dhanu-rashi bhi
andhay hotay hain.

Before The Dawn
Poem by Federico García Lorca

But like love
the archers
are blind

Upon the green night,
the piercing saetas
leave traces of warm
lily.

The keel of the moon
breaks through purple clouds
and their quivers
fill with dew.

Ay, but like love
the archers
are blind!

-Federico García Lorca
