Amy
The day I first met Amy
She was just a few hours old
Dressed in a tiny pink Babygro
With a teddy bear in gold.
Amy was born in February
So there was quite a chill
I wrapped her in a blanket
Didn’t want her to get ill.
She was such a lovely baby
Me, her devoted Gran
Her brother Zak was mesmerised
At the sight of her tiny hand.
The feeling was so wonderful
But home I had to go
Such a beautiful granddaughter
I’ll always love her so.

Hi Julian,
Please see Urdu translation put up! Its been fun and would be great to see what people think. I've had to change one line slightly - The feeling was so wonderful- to a literal Urdu translation - my heart was bursting with happiness - as I couldn't think of a closer translation, if I do, will come back and edit it.
The other thing to note is if Amy is Ann's daughter's daughter or son's daughter. I think I am right in thinking that the translation would be different. I have taken a guess here.
