English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 215
☆☆☆☆☆
ख़ुद का दर्द महसूस होना
ज़िंदा होने का एक सबूत है..!
मग़र औरों के दर्द का अहसास होना
ज़िंदादिल इंसान होने का सबूत है..!
☆☆
To feel your own pain
Is a proof of being alive but
Proof of compassionate human
Is to feel the pain of others!
☆☆☆☆☆
काश एक ख्वाहिश पूरी हो
इबादत के बगैर
वो आके गले लगा ले
मेरी इजाजत के बगैर…
☆☆
If only one wish could be fulfilled
Without offering the prayers
That she came and hugged me
Without my permission…!
☆☆☆☆☆
दर्द की तुरपाइयों की
नज़ाकत तो देखिये
एक धागा छेड़ते ही
ज़ख्म पूरा खुल गया…
☆☆
Look at the tenderness of
the hemstitch of the pain…
Just disturbing one thread was
enough to open the whole wound!
☆☆☆☆☆
सूरज ढला तो कद से
ऊँचे हो गए साये
कभी पैरों से रौंदी थी
यहीं परछाइयां हमने..!
☆☆
Setting sun elong☆☆☆☆☆ated the
Shadows bigger than the stature,
Thes’re the shadows which once
were trampled under my feet..!
