(Today, enjoy some of the Urdu poetry couplets written and translated in English by Pravin ‘Aftab’. Pravin ‘Aftab’ is nick name of Capt. Pravin Raghuvanshi.)
बड़ी रौनक होगी आज
खुदा की महफिल में,
मौसिकी का खज़ाना है
जो पहुंचा ज़मीन से जन्नत में…
There must a great festivity
in the God’s gathering today…
Treasure of music has just
arrived in heaven from the Earth.
कितना दुश्वार है…
यूँ ज़िंदगी बसर करना
तुम्हीं से फासला रखना
और तुम्हीं से इश्क़ करना…!
How difficult it is
to live life like this…
To keep distance from you
and love you too…!
न एक सांस ज़्यादा
न एक साँस कम,
फिर काहे की फिक्र
और काहे का ग़म
Neither a breath more
nor a breath less,
Then why to worry
and why to feel sad…!
पहले परिंदों के शोर हुआ करते थे
अब तो बस दबे पाँव शाम होती है
बहारों में भी खिंजा का गुमाँ होता है
ज़िंदगी यूँही तमाम हुए जाती हैं…
Earlier there used to be boisterous chirping of birds
Now it’s just inane turning of dusk into night
Even the blooming spring gives a feel of autumn
Life just keeps on passing in a Sambre plight…!
Pravin ‘Aftab’
