Help me translate this poem

I'm trying to translate this poem
Hi Brodie,

Below is literal translation of the poem:


man lete ki
ja jo namumkin hai
vo namumkin hai
na ummeedon ke pul bandhte
na koee sapna bunte
bas aasan raste chunte
saham-saham kar kadam rakhte
jo chal raha hai
jaisa chal raha hai


Let us accept

whatever is impossible

is impossible

Let us not build bridges of hopes

Let us not knit any dreams

Let us choose only easy routes

and step forward very cautiously 

Whatever is going on

Whatever way it's going on

maan lete ki मान लेते कि

(if I/We) Assumed that
jo* namumkin hai जो नामुमकिन है

what is impossible
vo namumkin hai वो नामुमकिन है

is impossible
na ummeedon ke pul bandhte ना उम्मीद के पुल बांधते

neither we would put up bridge of hopes

na koee sapna bunte ना कोई सपना बुनते

nor we would sew any dream
bas aasan raste chunte बस आसान रास्ते चुनते

just we would choose easy ways
saham-saham kar kadam rakhte सहम सहम कर कदम रखते

afraid, would we tread path

jo chal raha hai जो चल रहा है

whatever is going on
jaisa chal raha hai जैसा चल रहा है

the way it is going on

Namaste, Brodie! Nav varsh ki shubkamnaye! Poetry is very hard to translate and I think Hindi-Urdu poetry is especially hard, with a lot of room for multiple interpretations. I'm having a little trouble reading this poem in Roman letters (for example I suppose that "man lete" is मान लेते with a long 'a', and that that 'ja' is really a 'jo' but I can't be sure). Do you want to give us your best shot at a translation? We can help you with the correction. :)
