Mastectomy By Wanda Coleman In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

hain nahin ab
baiNgni nipple aur bhooray aureolae

yaad hai kaisay thee zindgi

bhool jaao shaam ki thandi hawaa ki chumiaaN
choli se nikaal kar azzadi ki jaldiaaN

bhool jaao uski ki hatheliaaN apnay mammon par
uski aankhon ki kushi mammon ko dekhtay jhuk kar

bhool jaao uska moonh, uski jeeb apnay nipple pe
uski behad bhookh poori hoti apnay mammon pe

bhool jaao ubharti hui utaijna baaeeN ya daaeeN disha se
behti hui badan main, paunchti hui jhaangoN main

bhoo jaao us k haathoN ki jagaah jab vo hota tha mazzay main

meri mithi mithi mehbooba, tera swaad baDa mitha mitha ay

Mastectomy
Wanda Coleman - 1946-2013


the fall of
velvet plum points and umber aureolae

remember living

forget cool evening air kisses the rush of
liberation freed from the brassiere

forget the cupping of his hands the pleasure
his eyes looking down/anticipating

forget his mouth. his tongue at the nipples
his intense hungry nursing

forget sensations which begin either
on the right or the left. go thru the body
linger between thighs

forget the space once grasped during his ecstasy

sweet sweet mama you taste so
