☆ English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media# 52 ☆
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
रात है ख़्वाब बुनती,
दिन हैं कि उधेड़ देते…
इसी उधेड़-बुन में तमाम,
ज़िंदगी है बीती जाती…!
Night keeps weaving dreams,
and the days untwine them
In this turmoil only, whole
Life keeps on passing..!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
आस्मां छुपे हैं कई मुझ में,
मैं कायनात का इक जरिया हूँ,
मैं दरिया की एक बूँद नहीं,
एक बूँद में पूरा दरिया हूँ..!
Many skies are hidden in me,
I’m the tool of the universe
I’m not just a drop of the river
But the whole river in a drop!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
हो सकता है कि लोग मुझे
शायद कमज़ोर समझते हों,
क्योंकि मेरे पास ताक़त नहीं है
किसी का दिल तोड़ने की…
May be people consider me
as weak hearted since
I don’t have the strength
to break someone’s heart!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
तोड़ दे अपनी ये बेगानी खामोशी
कुछ तो दिलों की बात होने दे
जैसी होती है अक्सर खयालों में
वैसी ही एक मुलाकात तो होने दे
Break your strange silence
Just have some hearty talks
Let’s meet up in reality as we
often meet in the thoughts..!
