English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 213
☆☆☆☆☆
तमन्ना ने जिंदगी के आँचल में सर
रख कर पूछा “मै कब पूरी होउंगी?”
जिंदगी ने हँसकर जवाब दिया-
जो पूरी हो जाये वो तमन्ना ही क्या…
☆☆
Keeping the head in the life’s lap
Wish asked, “When will I get fulfilled?”
Life responded bursting into laughters
How can it be a wish if it gets fulfilled…
☆☆☆☆☆
यूँ तो रोज़ खत लिखता रहा उनके नाम
क्या पता कभी पहुँचे भी उन तलक…
बहार क्या आई मानो जैसे फ़िज़ाओं में
मेरे तमाम ख़तों के जवाब बिखर गए…!
☆☆
Though kept writing letters everyday
Knoweth not if they ever reached her
Onset of spring filled the environs
With the answers to all my letters…!

तेरी यादों की नौकरी में
दीदार की पगार मिलती है,
ख़र्च हो जाते हैं आँसू आँखों के
रहमत कहाँ उधार मिलती है..
☆☆
In the job of your memories
Glimpses get paid as salary
Tears of eyes get spent, but
D’you ever get charity on credit
☆☆☆☆☆
छू जाते हो तुम मुझे हर रोज़
एक नया ख्वाब बनकर…
ये दुनिया तो ख़ामख़ाह कहती है
कि तुम मेरे करीब नहीं हो…!
☆☆
You embrace me everyday
By becoming a new dream…
World needlessly says just like
that you are not close to me…
