Remember (Bhoolna Nahin)by Joy Harjo In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

bhoolna nahin akaask ko
ji k neechay hua tha tumhara janam,
aut jaan lo har taray ki kahani.

bhoona nahin chaand ko, samaj lo vo kya hai.

bhoolna nahin soraj ka janam subah ko
wo waqt jo shakti bhta hai
bhoolna nahin sandya ka samha jo raat le aata hai/

bhoolna nahin apni paidaish ko, apni maaN ko
kitni koshis is un=sne tumain banaya, tum ko jeevan diya.
hum sub main uski zindgi hai, uski maaN ka, maaN ki maaN ki
bhoolna nahin apne baap ko vo bhi tumari zindgi hai...

Remember
Joy Harjo

Remember the sky that you were born under,
know each of the star's stories.
Remember the moon, know who she is.
Remember the sun's birth at dawn, that is the
strongest point of time. Remember sundown
and the giving away to night.
Remember your birth, how your mother struggled
to give you form and breath. You are evidence of
her life, and her mother's, and hers.
Remember your father. He is your life, also.
Remember the earth whose skin you are:
red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth
brown earth, we are earth.
Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their
tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them,
listen to them. They are alive poems.
Remember the wind. Remember her voice. She knows the
origin of this universe.
Remember you are all people and all people
are you.
Remember you are this universe and this
universe is you.
Remember all is in motion, is growing, is you.
Remember language comes from this.
Remember the dance language is, that life is.
Remember.
