English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 170
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Reconciliation… ☆
थक सा गया हूँ मैं ख़ुद
से तकरार करते-करते,
अपने आप से अब सुलह
करना चाहता हूँ मैं..!
☆☆
I am done fighting
with myself…
Trying to make peace
with myself now…
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Memories ☆
गुजिश्ता यादों के पंख लगा के
उड़ता रहा तमाम ज़िंदगी,
तन्हाई से यूंही इक परिंदा,
परवाज़ में ही फना हो गया…
☆☆
Whole life it kept flying with
the wings of past memories,
A bird just got perished in the
flight because of loneliness…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Silent Cacophony... ☆
खामोशीयों में कितना
ज़बरदस्त शोर होता है,
मैंने ये खुद को तन्हा कर
के महसूस किया है…!
☆☆
There happens to be an
eerie noise in the silence,
I have experienced it by
keeping myself aloof…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Life ☆
फिसलती ही चली गई
एक पल भी रुकी नहीं
अब जाके पता चला कि
रेत के मानिंद हैं ज़िंदगी…!
☆☆
Just kept slipping away,
didn’t stop for a moment
Now only I came to know
that life is like the sand…!
