गुफ़्तुगू करे हैं अक्सर

उंगलियां ही अब तो..

ज़बां तरसती है

कुछ कहने के लिए..

☆☆

Fingers only chat 

these days now ..

The tongue  longs

To say something…

☆☆☆☆☆

तेरी बात को यूँही…

खामोशी से मान लेना

ये भी एक अंदाज़ है,

मेरी  नाराज़गी  का…

☆☆

Just simply accepting

your  words  quietly…

Is  also  my  way  of

expressing resentment…

☆☆☆☆☆

रूबरू  होने   की  तो  छोड़िये,

गुफ़्तगू से  भी  क़तराने  लगे हैं,

ग़ुरूर ओढ़ते  हैं  रिश्ते  अब तो,

हैसियत पर अपनी इतराने लगे हैं…

☆☆

Leave apart being face to face,

They’ve begun  to avoid talking,

Relations are so conceited now,

Proudly unmask their haughtiness

☆☆☆☆☆

बहुत ही नादान है वो,

ज़रा समझाइए ना उसे,

बात न करने से कभी,

मोहब्बत कम नहीं होती…

☆☆

She is too innocent,

Please explain to her that

Not talking to someone

Doesn’t reduce love for him!

☆ Contentment… ☆

सब्र  की  एक  बात

बहुत ही अच्छी होती है…

जब आ जाता है तो किसी चीज़      

की तलब नहीं रह जाती है..!

☆☆

One  Godsend  felicity  of

the  contentment  is  that 

when it comes then there remains

no desire for anything else!

☆ Puzzling Doubt… ☆

जाते जाते ही सही …

ये मलाल रह गया,

क्या उसे भी इश्क था…

ये सवाल रह ही गया ..!

☆☆

One melancholy kept on niggling me

even  while  being  separated,

This puzzling doubt kept tormenting me

if he was also in love with me..!

☆☆☆☆☆

इंतजार की हद भी

अजीब होती हैं,

ना दरवाजा बंद होने देती है

और ना आँखें…!

☆☆

The limit of waiting is

too strange, neither it

Permits shutting of door

nor allows closing of eyes

☆☆☆☆☆

डर लगता है इजहार करने से

इतने क़रीब हो तुम…

कि ज़िंदगी बदल देगा मेरी

तुम्हारा इंकार भी, इकरार भी…

☆☆

I’m too scared to disclose my love

B’coz you’re so intimately close that

It’ll  change  my  life  forever,  whether 

it’s  your  refusal  or  acceptance..!

चुपचाप चल रहे थे

ज़िन्दगी के सफ़र में

तुम पर नज़र क्या पड़ी

बस गुमराह हो गये…

☆☆

Was walking quietly

In the journey of life

Just a glance at you 

Misguided me forever…

☆☆☆☆☆

हुस्न के कसीदे तो 

पढ़ती रहेंगी महफिलें

अगर झुर्रियाँ भी लगें 

हसीं तो समझो इश्क़ है…

☆☆

Citations for the beauty 

Congregations will keep writing…

If wrinkles still find you smitten

Then it’s undying love for sure…

☆☆☆☆☆

कोई रूठे अगर तुमसे तो

उसे फौरन मना लो क्योंकि

जिद्द की जंग में अक्सर

जुदाई  जीत जाती  है…

☆☆

If someone is upset with you

 Conciliate with him immediately

  Coz in the war of stubborness

   Often separation only wins…! 

☆☆☆☆☆

क्या करेगा रौशन उसे आफ़ताब बेचारा

लबरेज़ हो जो खुद अपने ही रूहानी नूर से

जब चाँद ही हो आफ़ताब से ज़्यादा नूरानी 

तो उसे क्या ताल्लुक़ात अंधेरे या उजाले से

☆☆

How can poor sun illumine him 

Who is self-effulgent with spiritual light

When moon itself is brighter than sun

Then what’s its concern with darkness or light
