Water And Stone By Ursula Le Guin From Lao Tze Te Ching's Teachings In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Duniya main komal se komal cheezaiN
pakki se pakki cheezonN pe aati hain
aur un pe chalti firti hain.
bekaar cheezain na qabil dukhool main
dakhal ho jaati hain.
Tab muje pata lagta hai
koi acHcHi baat nahin ho rehi hai.
bina bolay paDahi jab hoti hai
ye sab se behtar hoti hai
kyoN k is k karnay main
kuch karna nahin paDta hai -
bahut log ye samaj nahin saktay hain.

Water and Stone

What's softest in the world
rushes and runs
over what's hardest in the world.
The immaterial
enters
the impenetrable.
So I know the good in not doing.
The wordless teaching,
the profit in not doing —
not many people understand it.

— Ursula Le Guin, "Water and Stone, " from Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching:A Book about the Way and the Power of the Way
