☆☆☆☆☆
नज़र जिसकी समझ सके,
वही दोस्त है, वरना…
खूबसूरत चेहरे तो,
दुश्मनों के भी होते हैं..🌺
☆☆
Just a glance of whose…
Perceives you, is your friend,
Otherwise, even enemies
Too have pretty faces…!
☆☆☆☆☆
ना इलाज है,
ना है दवाई….
ए इश्क, तेरे टक्कर
की बला है आई…
☆☆
Neither exists any cure,
Nor is there any medicine,
O’ love, ailment matching you
Has emerged on the earth…!
☆☆☆☆☆
ये जब्र भी देखा है
तारीख की नज़रों ने
लम्हों ने खता की थी,
सदियों ने सजा पाई…!
☆☆
Have seen such constraints, too
Through the eyes of the time
Moments had committed mistake
But the centuries were punished!
☆☆☆☆☆
हर बार उड़ जाता है
मेरा कागज़ का महल…!
फ़िर भी हवाओं की
आवारगी पसंद है मुझे…🌺
☆☆
Flies away every time
My paper palace …!
Still I adore the winds
Loafing around freely…!
