Happenstance, A Love At First Sight Poem By Rita Dove In Urdu/Hindi Translation
Achanak-hi
jaise hi tum mere samnay aae
aisa laga k do lo-chumbak k beech
saari hawaa saaf-suthri ho gayee hai
aisi muskrahat main ne kabhi pehley na dekhi thee
na hi dekhay they hawaa main lehraate chaandi jaise baal.
ek aurat jis k baal bhi chaandi jaisay they
vo tum ko bye-bye kiye jaa rehi thee
mujay pata hai tum ne muje nahin dekha
main ne chupke chupke tum ko pukara tha
k agar tum muje nahin chate
to kya faida hai jawaab dene ka
main ne tumain ek baar fir pukara
tum ne darwaaza khola
roshni main tum khaDe they
bhoole huey apna naam!
When you appeared it was as if
magnets cleared the air.
I had never seen that smile before
or your hair, flying silver. Someone
waving goodbye, she was silver, too.
Of course you didn't see me.
I called softly so you could choose
not to answer—then called again.
You turned in the light, your eyes
seeking your name.
-Rita Dove
