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.

ایمی
جس دن میں ایمی سے پھلی دفعہ ملی
وہ تھی کچھ گھنٹے بڑی
ایک چھوٹے سے گلابی بےبی گرو میں
جس پر تھا ایک سنھرا ٹیڈی بیر
ایمی پیدا ھوی تھی فروری کے مھینے میں
اس وجہ سے ٹھنڈ تھی موسم میں
میں نے اس کو ایک کمبل میں لپیٹا
میں نھیں چاھتی تھی وہ بیمار ھو جاے
وہ اتنی پیاری سی بچی تھی
میں اس پر مھربان نانی
اور اس کا بھای ذاک گم تھے
اس کے چوٹھے سے ھاتھ کو دیکھنے میں
میرا دل خوشی سے پھول رھا تھا
لیکن مجھے گھر جانا تھا
اتنی خوبسورت میری پوتی
وہ مجھے ھمیشا پیاری رھے گی

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.
