During Wind And Rain By Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Vo pyaar k gaanay gaatay hain -
sub milkar gaatay hain
har dhun main gaatay hain
aur jalti mome-battian hathiN main liyay
ek doosray k cheaaray ko ujala kartay kheltay hain...
haey! jaldi se saaray saal guzar jaatay hain!
jaisay jhaD jaatay hain pattay patjaD main peroDon se!

'During Wind and Rain'
by Thomas Hardy (1840-1928)

They sing their dearest songs—
He, she, all of them—yea,
Treble and tenor and bass,
And one to play;
With the candles mooning each face....
Ah, no; the years O!
How the sick leaves reel down in throngs!

They clear the creeping moss—
Elders and juniors—aye,
Making the pathways neat
And the garden gay;
And they build a shady seat....
Ah, no; the years, the years,
See, the white storm-birds wing across.

They are blithely breakfasting all—
Men and maidens—yea,
Under the summer tree,
With a glimpse of the bay,
While pet fowl come to the knee....
Ah, no; the years O!
And the rotten rose is ript from the wall.

They change to a high new house,
He, she, all of them—aye,
Clocks and carpets and chairs
On the lawn all day,
And brightest things that are theirs....
Ah, no; the years, the years;
Down their carved names the rain-drop ploughs.
