❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

ज़िन्दगी  हसीं  है, हुज़ूर

इसे बेशर्त प्यार  करो,

माना कि अभी अंधेरी रात है,

सुबह तलक इंतज़ार करो…

वो पल भी आएगा

दिली ख़्वाहिश है जिसकी,

रब पर एतबार तो करो

वक़्त भी बदलेगा जरूर..!

Life is beautiful, dear

love it unconditionally,

Agreed, it’s dark night now,

wait till sun rises again…

That moment will also come

which you’ve longed for,

Have  faith  in  the  Lord

Time  will change  itself!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

तारीफ़ अपने आप की

करना फ़िज़ूल है…

ख़ुशबू खुद ही बता देती है

कौन सा फ़ूल है…

It is pointless to

praise  oneself…

Fragrance itself reveals

which flower it is…!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

ये दिल भी तो किस तरह,

ठगता चला जाता है…

कोई अच्छा लगता है,

और लगता चला जाता है..!

How guilefully this heart

goes on cheating…

Someone it likes, and

then  goes on liking..!

? Time Reclamation… ?

Around me are lying

Scattered moments

Every instant

blooming moments,

Every instant

aging moments!

Startled, I got up-

Started collecting

every moment neatly

Many bewildered

pairs of roving eyes

Bore incisive questions

writ large in them,

What an audacity!

What a chutzpah!!

As to what am I doing..?

I smiled insurmountably

Couldn’t say anything,

Remained reticent as always

Time is the

eternal witness

Defeat happens

Only to them

Who could not

manage their time well..!

उफ़्फ़ ये तनहाई कि दर

अपना ही  खटका  देना

Oh, this wretched desolation

makes me knock own door

Then forcing me to say it to

myself that I am still alive..

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

वक्त ने कई जख्म भर दिए,

यादें भी अब कम खलती हैं,

पर किताबों पर धूल जमाने से

भला कहानियाँ कहाँ बदलती हैं….

Time has healed many a wound,

Memories are also scarce now

But when do stories change

By settling of dust on the books!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

शुक्र कर ये दिल तेरे

लिए सिर्फ धड़कता है

गर बोलने लगता तो

क़यामत ही आ जाती…

Thankfully, this heart

Just only beats for you

If only it could speak,

Doomsday would come

एक बार वक़्त से

लम्हा गिरा कहीं

मगर लम्हा कहीं नहीं

Once  a  moment  from  the

time  just  fell  somewhere

On searching got the stories

but never again that moment

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

कुछ दर्द  ऐसे  भी

मिले  जिंदगी  में,

जिन्होंने जान भी ले ली

which  took  the  life,

but left me alive too!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

दो  गज  से  ज़रा  ज़्यादा

जगह  देना  कब्र  में  मुझे…

किसी की याद में करवट बदले              

बिना मुझे नींद ही नहीं आती…

Give me little more than two

yards of space in the grave

Can’t sleep without rolling

in  someone’s  memory..!

to understand me fully…

You must have flipped over

few pages without reading... !

Throughout life we trumpeted

Worth of the lands we owned

When air claimed its price

All the lands were pawned

ऐसी खो गई…

was  lost in  such  a way

That I could  not  sleep,

ले चल ऐ ज़िंदगी फिर से

बचपन की उन गलियों में

Where no one was needed

And, there used to be no need!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

मैं इतनी छोटी

कहानी भी न था,

तुम्हें ही जल्दी थी

किताब बदलने की…

such a short story,

You were only in hurry

to change the book…!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

कभी रंगों से इक नज़्म लिखो

कभी अल्फाज़ों से तस्वीर गढ़ो

कभी खामोशी की आवाज़ सुनो

कभी चुप्पी की इबारत भी पढ़ो

Sometime write a

poem with colours

Try ever making a 

picture with the words

Sometime listen to

the voice of reticence

Once in a while read

the narrative of silence..!

☆ English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of  Anonymous litterateur of Social Media# 50 ☆

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

आते-जाते हैं तमाम

रंग  मेरे  चेहरे  पर,

लोग  लेते  हैं  मजा

ज़िक्र तुम्हारा कर के…

Keep coming  and going

Myriad hues on my face,

People teasingly enjoy by

Mentioning  your  name…!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

मंज़िल तो मिल ही जाएगी

भटक कर ही सही

गुमराह तो वो हैं

जो घर से निकले ही नहीं….

You’ll get to the destination

may be, by wandering itself

Misguided are those, who

never venture out of house….!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

मुझ पर तुम्हारा प्यार

यूँ ही उधार रहने दो,

बड़ा ख़ूब है ये कर्ज़,

मुझे कर्ज़दार रहने दो..

Just simply let your love be

a perennial  loan  on  me…

This loan is so very special

Let me be a borrower only..!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

चुप्पियाँ…

प्यासी आत्मायें हैं,

जो रिश्ते…

पी जाया करती हैं…

Reticences …

are nothing but

The thirsty souls

devouring the relationships…

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
