Sterility Poetry by Murlidhar Translated by Jam Jamali

STERILITY

Her eyes were wet,

her face was faded,

and her heart was hurt,

because,

she was childless.

I asked her,

do you have got your,

checkup done?

She said “yes”

I advised her,

for checkup of,

both wife and husband.

She replied “my husband

is not willing for test”

I posed a question to myself,

does infertility not occur

in men?
