When Ecstasy Is Inconvenient By Lorine Niedecker In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Jhoothi shaanti kabool kar lo
sub khushi khtam ho jaaey gi.
gun-gana-nay lago, kya patt fir -
gull araam kar rehi hai
uDan uski shurro hue hai
ya ab khtam ho gayi hai

mere dil, shaant raho.
socho dhan hai
lakin zang isko lag gaya hai,
socho chaand aaney ka waqt araak ka nain hai.
nichlay aasman ki taraf roshni hai
jo hat atarf ko bikhar rehi hai
ya hawaa tez chal rehi hai.

jaan lo k aadmi
kitnay achambay main
apni bevkoofi apnay haath main leeyay
zindgi guzaarta hai.

When Ecstasy is Inconvenient
Lorine Niedecker

Feign a great calm;
all gay transport soon ends.
Chant: who knows—
flight's end or flight's beginning
for the resting gull?

Heart, be still.
Say there is money but it rusted;
say the time of moon is not right for escape.
It's the color in the lower sky
too broadly suffused,
or the wind in my tie.

Know amazedly how
often one takes his madness
into his own hands
and keeps it.
