English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 127
☆☆☆☆☆
इत्तफाकन कुछ यूं हुआ कि
जब भी जरूरत पड़ी मुझे,
आदतन हर शख्स को मजबूर
या मसरूफ ही पाया मैंने..!
☆☆
Is it just a coincidence that whenever
I was in dire need of help
Perpetually, found every person
either helpless or too busy…!
☆☆☆☆☆
छप के बिका करते थे,
जो अख़बार कभी…
सुना है इन दिनों वो
बिक के छपा करते हैं…
☆☆
Newspapers, those once
used to sell after printing,
I have heard that these days
they print after selling…
☆☆☆☆☆
बहुत कुछ बदल जाता है
ढलती उम्र के साथ,
पहले हम जिद्द किया करते थे
अब समझौते करते हैं..
☆☆
Many a thing keep changing
with the passage of time,
Earlier we used to stubbornly insist,
Now we simply compromise…
☆☆☆☆☆
तुमको याद कर लूँ तो मिल जाती
है हर दर्द से राहत,
लोग बेवजह ही शोर मचाते हैं
कि दवाइयाँ महंगी हैं…!
☆☆
I’m relieved of every pain
whenever I remember you
People unnecessarily complain
that medicines are expensive…!
