Hope And Love. Jane Hirshfield In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Pyaar Ki Umeed Main

Saari sardioN
neela bagala
ghoDoN k beech sota raha.
BagloN k rehnay k baary
main kuch jaanti nahin,
unki akela rehnay ki aadton ko
main jaanti nahin,
aur na hi muje pata hai
k vo kisi khoay hue baglay ki
intazaar main tha -
jaanti nahin k vo ye kar raha tha -
kali raat ki thandi thandi hawaaoN main.
Lakin main ye jaanti hoon k
pyaar ki umeed main rehna
koi asaan kaam nahin hai.
Vo sota tha
apni lambi garden ko fold karay hue
jaisay koi fold kiya hua khat
us taraf paDa ho.

Hope and Love
by Jane Hirshfield

All winter
the blue heron
slept among the horses.
I do not know
the custom of herons,
do not know
if the solitary habit
is their way,
or if he listened for
some missing one—
not knowing even
that was what he did—
in the blowing
sounds in the dark,
I know that
hope is the hardest
love we carry.
He slept
with his long neck
folded, like a letter
put away.
