My Species By Jane Hirshfield In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

haathichoke ki baingani sabji
jab apne kaDway aur kaalay paani
main ubalti hai to komal bun jaati hai
komalbun kar meethi ho jaati hai

meri jaati k logo
dheeraj rakho, main ye kehti hoon

ajmaaesh kartay raho teekhay pattoN ki

teekhay dil ki

My Species
BY JANE HIRSHFIELD

a small purple artichoke
boiled
in its own bittered
and darkening
waters
grows tender,
grows tender and sweet

patience, I think,
my species

keep testing the spiny leaves

the spiny heart
