☆ English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of  Anonymous litterateur of Social Media# 62 ☆

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

इल्जाम तो हर हाल में

काँटों  पर  ही  लगेगा…

ये सोचकर कुछ फूल भी

चुपचाप ज़ख्म दे जाते हैं…!

 

As such, blame will always be

there on the thorns only….

Considering this even some flowers

quietly inflict the wounds….!

  ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

रहने दो कि अब तुम भी

मुझे पढ़ न सकोगे

बरसात में काग़ज़ की

तरह भीग गया हूँ  मैं ..!

 

Let it be, now even

you can’t read me

I’m like the paper

drenched in the rain…!

  ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

मैं हूँ दिल है,

तन्हाई भी है

तुम भी होते,

तो अच्छा होता…

 

I’m there, heart is there,

loneliness is also there

It would have been nice,

If you were there too..!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

अगर कभी फ़ुर्सत मिले तो

पानी की लहरों को पढ़ लेना,

हर इक दरिया हज़ारों साल

का अफसाना लिखता है…

 

If you ever get time, then

read the waves of water,

Every single river writes

tales of many of eras…!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

 

खामोश रहने का

अपना ही मजा है,

नींव के पत्थर…

कभी बोला नहीं करते…

 

Being silent

has its own fun,

Foundation stones

never speak…

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

काश सीख पाते हम भी,

मीठे झूठ बोलने का हुनर

कड़वे सच ने तो  ना जाने

कितने लोग हमसे छीन लिए..!

 

Wish I could also learn the

art  of  telling  sweet  lies…

Knoweth not how many people did

the  bitter  truth  snatch  from  me..!

 

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

ना तुमसे मिलने की आस है

ना ही तुम्हें पाने की प्यास है,

फिर भी तुम्हारे प्यार का जुनून है

ये देता मेरे दिल को बड़ा सुकून है …!

 

Neither any hope is there of meeting you

Nor is any urge left to have you, still,

The passionate obsession of your love

gives serene tranquility to my heart ….!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

कितना आसान है कह देना

कि मैं भूल  जाऊँ  तुम्हें,

क्या जिस्म से भी कभी रूह

यूँ आसानी से निकलती है…

 

How easy it is to say

that I must forget you,

Does  the  soul  ever  

leave the body easily!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

गुमसुम  ही  रहती  हैं

अब बवाल नही करतीं

वो दबी दबी सी ख्वाहिशें

अब सवाल नही करतीं…

They remain silent only and

don’t make ruckus anymore

Those suppressed desires

never ask questions anymore

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

बस यही दो मसले कभी

जिंदगी  भर  हल  ना हुए,

ना  कभी  नींद  पूरी ही हुई,

ना ही ख़्वाब मुकम्मल हुए…

 

Only these two issues could

never be resolved in the life,

Neither could I get any sleep

nor did dreams ever realise..!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

अभी  जिंदा हूँ  तो थोड़ा

गुफ़्तगू भी कर  लिया करो…

अगर मेरे मरने के बाद किया

तो ताबीज ही बनवाते फिरोगे…

 

Do talk to me a bit till the

time I’m alive, if done after

My death, then you’ll be busy

in getting the amulet made

 

* Amulet= Taabiz

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

टूट कर चाहना किसी को

गुनाह है ग़र ,

तो फिर बेशुमार लोग

गुनहगार हैं यहाँ…

 

If loving someone overly

is  a  crime,

then countless people

are  culprits  here…!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

कशमकश का

अहम मत पालो,

जो काम ख़ुशी दे,

उसे अभी कर डालो…

 

Don’t get entangled into

the dilemma of ego,

Work that gives you

happiness, do it now…

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

 दोस्ती  का  हाथ जब

मैंने बढ़ा दिया तो…

फिर कभी गिना नहीं कि

किसने कब दग़ा दिया…

 

When I extended the

hand  of  friendship,

Then never counted

who betrayed me when!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

न  गिला  है कोई  हालात  से,

न शिकायत किसी की बात से

खुद ही सारे वर्क जुदा हो रहे,

मेरी ज़िन्दगी की किताब से…!

 

No grudge against any situation,

Not even a complaint with anyone

All the writing itself is vanishing,

from the manuscript of my life….!
