English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 171
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Temporal Habitude… ☆
जमाने का चलन
मालूम नहीं मुझे कि मिट्टी ने है
रंग बदला या है कोई और वजह
तमाम उम्र अपनापन बो कर भी
अकेलापन ही काटते रहते हैं हम..!
☆☆
Knoweth not if the soil has changed
its colour or for some other reasons
Despite sowing the camaraderie, lifelong
Why do we, keep reaping aloofness!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Enigmatic Waves ☆
जिस नजाकत से लहरें
पैरों को छूती है ….
यकीन नही होता इन्होंने कभी
कश्तियाँ डूबाई होगी…
☆☆
The tenderness with which the
waves caressed my feet…
Jus can’t believe that sometimes
they only sank the boats…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Resolute Loyalty… ☆
भले ही साथ रहे सारा ज़माना
बहती हवाओं के साथ…
मगर हमारी वफादारी तो हमेशा
चिरागों के साथ ही रहेगी…!
☆☆
Let the the entire world side
with the blowing winds,
But my loyalty will always
remain with the lamp only..!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Fulfilled Expectations…☆
मुझे यकीन था कि एक दिन
तुम मुझे भूल जाओगे,
मुबारक हो कि तुम मेरी
उम्मीद पर खरे उतरे…
☆☆
I was sure that one day
you would forget me…
I’m glad that you’ve lived
upto my expectations..!
