Dorothy Parker's "Resume" On Suicide In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Ustray dard deN gay
Dariya bheegay hoN gay
Tezaab cHaalay daaley ga
Daaroo keelaiN daaley ga.

BandookaiN be-kanooni hain
Faansi k fhanday toot jaeN gay
Gas ki boo bardasht na ho gi
Khud-kashi kyon kartay ho, zinda raho.

Résumé

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.

Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smell awful;
You might as well live.

-Dorothy Parker
