☆ English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of  Anonymous litterateur of Social Media# 49☆

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

फ़र्क़ चेहरे की हँसी पर

सिर्फ इतना सा पाते हैं

पहले  खुद आती  थी

अब  लाना पड़ता  है..!

Difference in smile on the

 face is just that much only,

Earlier it’d come on its own

Now it has to be brought..!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

मिज़ाज अपना कुछ

ऐसा बना लिया हमने,

किसी ने कुछ भी कहा

बस मुस्कुरा दिया हमने…

I’ve made my temperament

such  that,  even  if

Someone says anything,

I simply give a smile…!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

न जाने किस मोड़ पे ले आई

हमें तेरी ये बेकाबू तलब,

सर पे चिलचिलाती धूप

और राह में इक साया भी नहीं!

Don’t know where this unruly

craving for you has brought me,

Scorching sun up in the sky

And, not a shade in the path..!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

ठुकराया था हमने भी

बहुतों को तेरी खातिर..

तुझसे फासला भी शायद

उनकी बद्दुआओं का असर है

I too had rejected many

of  them  for  your sake, 

Distance from you, perhaps,

is the effect of their curse!
