☆ Occupants of Heart ☆

☆☆☆

जो हमेशा आपके

दिल में रहते हैं…

उनकी बातें दिल पे

ना लेना कभी…!

☆☆

Never take the words

of those to the heart…

Who are an indispensable

part of your heart…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Self-respect ☆

☆☆☆

थोड़ी सी खुद्दारी भी

लाज़मी है, दोस्तों…

उसने बात नहीं की तो

हम ने भी छोड़ दी…!

☆☆

Little bit of self-respect is

also unavoidable, friends,

When he didn’t talk to me,

I also brushed him off…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ New Life… ☆

☆☆☆ 

उस मोड से शुरू करनी है

फिर से नई जिंदगी,

जहाँ सारा शहर अपना था

और तुम एक अजनबी…!

☆☆

Need to start the life allover

again from that point…

Where the whole city was mine

and you were just a stranger…!

☆☆☆☆☆

यहां वक़्त पर कोई किसी

के काम नहीं आता  है…

हमनें तो अपने आप को

भी आज़मा कर देखा है..!

☆☆

Here nobody comes

forward to help…

I’ve  tried it even

on  myself…!

☆☆☆☆☆

गमगीन तो यहाँ सभी हैं मगर

फर्क सिर्फ़ इतना सा है…

कोई रोकर इजहार कर  देता है तो

कोई हंस कर छुपा लेता है…

☆☆

Everyone  is  sad here, but

the only difference is that

Few express it by crying while

Others hide it in their smiles

☆☆☆☆☆

रहने की कुछ

बेहतरीन जगहों में,

एक जगह

अपनी औकात भी है…

☆☆

One place amongst the

best of places to live in

is your own abode or

the earned status

☆☆☆☆☆

टूटें  तो

बड़े  चुभते हैं,

क्या  काँच,

क्या  रिश्ते…!

☆☆

If broken, they

prick a lot,

Be it glass

Or a relationship…!

☆☆☆☆☆

जो हमेशा आपके

दिल  में  रहते  हैं…

उनकी  बातें  दिल  पे

ना  लेना  कभी…!

☆☆

Never take the words

of those to the heart

Who perpetually live in  

your heart passionately…

☆ Self Assessment… ☆

बाजार जाके खुद का

दाम भी कभी पूछना,

तुम्हारे जैसे समान हर

दुकानों में भरे पड़े हैं…!

☆☆ 

Sometime go to the market and

inquire about your own price,

Every shop is abundantly

filled with goods like you…!

☆☆☆☆☆ 

 ☆ Loyalty Bond… ☆

 अंदाजे इश्क़ तो देखा है तुमने

पर फितरत-ए-वफा नहीं देखी,

पिंजरे खोल दो मगर, फिर भी

कुछ परिंदे उड़ा नहीं करते…

☆☆

You’ve seen the love, but not

the  true  nature  of   loyalty,

Even  if  you  open  the  cage, 

still some birds do not fly off…

☆☆☆☆☆

 ☆ Zestful Rains… ☆

Zestfully humming drops

keep falling from the sky,

As if an ecstatic cloud has

bumped into your anklet…

☆☆

 गुनगुनाती हुई आती हैं

फ़लक से मदमस्त बूंदें,

लगता है कोई बदली तेरी

पाजेब से टकराई है…

☆☆☆☆☆

दिल में जो दर्द है वो निगाहों

से है खुदबखुद अयाँ,

ये बात गर है कि जुबाँ से भले

ही हम  ना  करें  बयाँ..!

☆☆ 

The pain in the heart is visible

through the eyes, but it’s

something else, I may not say

anything with the tongue..!

☆☆☆☆☆

क्या लिखूं अपनी जिंदगी

के  बारे  में  दोस्तों,

वो लोग ही बिछड़ गए

जो अपने हुआ करते थे

☆☆

What should I write

about my life friends,

Those people who used to be

my very own got separated

☆☆☆☆☆

कैसे भला जाने कोई

ख़्वाबों  की  ताबीर,

आसमाँ पे बैठा हुआ

लिखता  है  वो  तक़दीर…

☆☆

How can one know the

interpretation of dreams,

When sitting in the sky 

He only writes the fate…

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Soulful love… ☆

कोई रूह को छूकर गुजरे

तो ही उसे चाहत कहना,

यूं तो जिस्म को छूकर

हवाएँ भी गुज़रा करती हैं…

☆☆

If someone passes by touching

the soul, then only call it love,

Otherwise even the wind

passes by touching the body…!
