Kiss (Chumma) , A Poem By Barbara Korun In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Kya lafz hai vo
jo tumaray hotoN pe soya rehta hai
kya lafz hai vo?


Kya nazaara hai vo
jo tumahari palkoN k neechay chamakata rehta hai
kya nazaara hai vo?

Kya awaaz hai vo
jo tumaray kaanoN main gun-ganaati rehti hai
kya awaaz hai vo?

POLJUB

katera beseda
ti spi na ustnicah
katera

katera pokrajina
žari pod vekami
katera

kateri glas
v školjki sluha
odzvanja

v ognju dotika
trepetavi odblesk
zlatih kril

KISS

What word
sleeps on your lips,
what?

What landscape
glows beneath your eyelids,
what?

What voice
echoes
in the shell of the ear?


-Translation by Theo Dorgan
