Urdu poetry with translation 1
68Hello! Welcome to my hub. Below is a poem written by me in Urdu and further below you can read its translation. I love poems and since childhood I had some kind of attraction towards poems. When my passion of writing got intense, I thought to try my luck in the field of writings and poetry so, as an initial step, I thought it better to first write in my own tongue.
This was my very first poem which I entitled as 'Aik Sahara' (in Urdu), 'A SUPPORT' (in English).
Here it goes.
Natija hai zawal na umeedi ka,
rehte hein khushh o khurram wo ins,
karte hein istimal jo ghiza-e-umeed ka,
kiun k wo samaghte hein k,
asani k saath mushkil bhi hai,
mushkil k saath asani bhi hai,
jaise tapte sehra mein sard raat bhi hai,
jaise dhoop mein shajar ki chaon bhi hai,
jaise ghuroob-e-aftab k baad tuloo-e-aftab bhi hai,
jaise har samandar ka koi kinare bhi hai,
waise hi har mayoosi ka umeed aik sahara bhi hai!
TRANSLATION:
Decline is the result of despair,
blissful and cheerful live those humans,
who utilize the food of hopefulness,
because they do understand that,
along with ease is difficulty,
along with difficulty is ease,
just as there's cool night in scorching desert,
just as there's tree's shade in sunshine,
just as after every sunset is sunrise,
just as every sea has a shore,
likewise, of every depression, hope is a support!
In the end, here goes a list of Urdu words, mentioned in the poem along with their English translation (just for a better understanding).
Natija - result
Zawal - decline
Naumeedi - despair
Khush - happy
Istimal - use
Ghiza - food

Your are downright correct Binaya, it is so very flowery. My dear, it takes time to have a grip on anything and besides, pone can't be perfect at everything and after all, elementary knowledge lays the foundation.
Thanks for reading and appreciating. :)
This is a good poem. I like Urdu poetry but can only read it in translation. My favourite poets are Faiz and Iqbal.
Thank you :) certainly, they stand among the greatest writers of all time. I too love to read them.
Well of course i didn't understand a word of Urdu, but i loved the English version. I wish i could speak more than English. Thank you. Enjoyed very much.
Simply put, BEAUTIFUL. I loved all the words and how they were weaved into fine strings of jewels, they flowed and melted into my soul. I enjoyed this very much, bravo I rated this up and awesome.

Huh! oooo....I'm learning a new language. :) what is an urdu? I never heard of that language before. lol...but your poem is wonderful! :)
Umna: The underlying thought of this poem, the value of hope, recalls to my mind some of my favorite lines from Massachusetts poet Emily Dickinson:
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard"
Your poem conveys to me the balance which hope provides.
I also appreciate that you included your original in Urdu as well as defining each word separately.
Thank you for sharing hope!
chanroth: Urdu is one of best languages, it's spoken in Pakistan. Thank you for visiting. :)

I think Urdu is one of the beautiful languages in the world. However, my sills at the language is very rudimentary. I loved the English translation.
