~ Fear of Humans… ~ 
☆
With the arrival of humans,
a fear causes an irking unrest
An anxiety creeps in every
nook & corner of the forest
*
The birds’ fearful hearts beat faster
seeing the end, so predictable
As they offer prayers for nests to be
spared that become vulnerable
*
Will the trees be mercilessly felled,
or will their nests remain intact,
Before human arrival, all are hoping
for the divine intervention, best..!
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
~ इंसानी ख़ौफ़… ~
☆
इंसानों की दस्तक से पहले ही
चारों तरफ है दहशत का छाया,
जंगल के हर कोने में है एक
अनजाना सा ख़ौफ़ समाया
*
मौत की दावत लिए, दे रहा
हो शैतान, जैसे दस्तक कोई
हर मासूम दिल है खौफजदा
जैसे आ रहा हो दरिंदा कोई
*
परिंदों के दिलों में बसी हुई है
बेइंतहा घबराहट और बेचैनी,
क्या सारे दरख़्त कट जाएंगे, या
बचेंगे घोंसले हमारे पुश्तैनी
☆
