English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media# 86
☆☆☆☆☆
कुछ अधूरापन सा था
जो पूरा हुआ ही नहीं…
कोई था तो मेरा जो
कभी मेरा हुआ ही नहीं…!
Some incompleteness was there
which could never be fulfilled…
Though someone was mine only,
who could never become mine…!
☆☆☆☆☆
कैसे इक लफ़्ज़ में
बयाँ कर दूँ…
दिल को किस बात ने
उदास किया…
How can I express
in one word…
What made my
heart so sombre..!
☆☆☆☆☆
दिल आबाद कहाँ रह पाया
उसकी याद भुला देने से,
कमरा तक वीराँ हो जाता है
फ़क़त इक तस्वीर हटा देने से…
The heart could never be alive
again by erasing her memory,
Even the room gets deserted
just by removing a picture…!
☆☆☆☆☆
खुशनुमा लोगों की सोहबत
इत्र की दुकान के मानिंद होती है,
ना भी कुछ खरीदो तो भी
रूह तो महका ही देती है..!
Company of cheerful people
happens to be like perfume shop
Even if you don’t buy anything,
it makes the soul fragrant..!
