Mirror (Chera Dekhne Ka Sheesha) , A Zhang Zao's Chinese Poem In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Jab pachHtawa aata hai
to aloo bukhaaray k peD k phool girnay lagatay hain
Jab vo nadi k doosaray kinary tairti chalijaati hai
Jab vo devdaar k peD par seeDi se chaDti hai
Har khatarnaak kaam main khobbsoorti hoti hai

Mirror
TRANSLATED BY FIONA SZE-LORRAIN

Once regrets come to mind
plum blossoms fall
Like watching her swim to the other shore
Like climbing a pine ladder
There is beauty in danger
Why not watch her return on horseback
cheeks warm
with shame. Head bowed, she answers the Emperor
A mirror awaits her forever
Let her take her usual place in the mirror
looking out the window, once regrets come to mind
plum blossoms fall over the southern mountain
