English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 174
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Wasteful Moments… ☆
☆☆
ज़िंदगी का हर लम्हा
कुछ यूं बर्बाद हुआ है,
कि उसका अहसास भी
बरबादी के बाद ही हुआ है…!
☆☆
Every moment of the life has
been wasted in such a way…
That its realisation ocurred
only after its wasteful loss…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Sacrosanct Epic… ☆
☆☆
लिख कर रखा है मैंने
तुम्हें किताबों की तरह,
मेरे बाद भी तुम दुनियाँ में
दिल से ही पढे जाओगे…!
☆☆
I have manuscripted you
sacrosanctly like an epic,
Even after me, you’ll be read
from the heart only…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Quyamat…the Catastrophe…! ☆
☆☆
अगर फिर किसी मोड़ पर मिलूँ
तो मुँह जरूर फ़ेर लेना
वरना, पुराना इश्क़ है, अगर दुबारा
मिले तो कयामत ही आ जाएगी…!
☆☆
If I ever meet you aat some point,
you must turn away your face…
It’s an age-old love, meeting again,
will certainly result in catastrophe…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Existential Loss… ☆
☆☆
बड़े लोगों से मिलने में
हमेशा फ़ासला रखना,
जहाँ दरिया समुंदर से मिला
वो दरिया नहीं रहता…!
– बशीर बद्र
☆☆
Always avoid meeting with
big influential people,
Whenever the river meets the
ocean, it ceases to exist…!
