❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
मुख़्तसर सा गुरूर भी
ज़रूरी है जीने के लिए
ज़्यादा झुक के मिलो
तो दुनिया पीठ को ही
पायदान बना लेती है…
Some arrogance, too, is
Necessary to live, if you
bend too much to meet
Then the world makes
your back a footmat only…
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
माना तेरी उलझन हूँ मैं
पर तेरी सुलझन भी हूँ मैं…
थोड़ा दीवाना ही सही मैं
मगर बड़ा दिलदार हूँ मैं…
Agreed I’m your riddle only…
But I’m your solution too…
Though I am bit crazy
But a large-hearted one!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
क्या करोगे अब तुम
मेरे पास आकर भी..
खो दिया है तुमने मुझे
बार-बार आजमा कर…
What will you do now
By coming close to me…
You’ve lost me for good
By trying again and again
