Cuckoo Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Cuckoo

Rating: 5.0


Cuckoo when I imitate your voice,
You think it's a rival may trap your spouse,
Don't you trust she loves you only you,
How anyone can kidnap your spouse.

I want to learn how beloved is called
In annoyance you repeat your golden song,
And when she comes you smile and love,
Injure if you can my heart with a prong.

Let me cry in love with a painful heart,
I want to sing like a cuckoo my friend,
I hope my voice will touch her heart,
And rains will melt my icy girlfriend.

(It's English translation of my Urdu poem written long long ago.)

Nice lines. If pain can produce a beautiful song, so be it, if it has the power to melt the icy maiden's heart.

Very true, cuckoo responds to us, when we imitate their call to his mate, they do. I try to imitate the call of the cuckoo often (I am very bad at that) , and he call to me back for, maybe, hours together
