English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 198
☆☆☆☆☆
तूफ़ां के से हालात हैं
ना किसी सफर में रहो…
पंछियों से है गुज़ारिश
रहो सिर्फ अपने शज़र में
☆☆
There’re stormy conditions
Don’t set sail for any voyage
Pleading with the avian-world
To keep nestled in their trees
☆☆☆☆☆
ईद का चाँद बन बस रहो
अपने ही घरवालों के संग
ये उनकी खुशकिस्मती है
कि बस हो उनकी नज़र में…
☆☆
Even in, once in a blue moon
Don’t step out be with family
It’s a blissful fortune only
That you’re before their eyes
☆☆☆☆☆
माना बंजारों की तरह
घूमते ही रहे डगर-डगर…
वक़्त का तक़ाज़ा है अब
रहो सिर्फ अपने ही शहर में …
☆☆
Agreed like gypsies you’ve
Been wandering endlessly
It’s the need of hour that
You stay in your own town…
☆☆☆☆☆
तुमने कितनी खाक़ छानी
हर गली हर चौबारे की
थोड़े दिन की तो बात है
बस रहो सिर्फ अपने घर में…
☆☆
Much did you wander around
Every nook and every corner
It’s a matter of few days only
Keep staying in your house…
