उनके हाथों में मेहंदी लगाने

का यह फायदा हुआ

कि रात भर हम उनके

चेहरे से ज़ुल्फ हम हटाते रहे..

☆☆

The advantage of applying mehndi 

On her hands was that I kept on

Removing the tufts of hair from 

Her face throughout the night…

☆☆☆☆☆

अगर इश्क़ करो तो

अदब ए  वफ़ा भी सीखो

ये चंद दिनों की बेकरारी

मोहब्बत नहीं होती..

☆☆

If you love someone then

Learn to practise loyalty too

A few days of restlessness

Is not construed as love…!

☆☆☆☆☆

तेरी एक झलक ही काफ़ी 

है जीने के लिए पर दिल का 

मोह ही है सारी उम्र मिल 

जाये तो भी कम है

☆☆

Your one glimpse alone is

Just enough to live for but it’s the 

Fascination of heart that finds

It less even if it get entire lifetime

☆☆☆☆☆

कर्ज़ होता तो

उतार  भी देते

कमबख्त इश्क़ था

बस चढ़ा ही रहा…!

☆☆

If it was a loan

Would’ve paid it off

But this wretched love

Just kept piling up…!

मुझको तो दर्द-ए-दिल का

मज़ा याद आ गया-

तुम क्यों हुए उदास

तुम्हें क्या याद आ गया…

☆☆

Remembered the bliss filled

Anguish of my lovelorn heart

Why did you become sad

Did you also miss something

☆☆☆☆☆

कहने को जिंदगी थी

बहुत मुख़्तसर मगर

कुछ यूँ बसर हुई कि

खुदा याद आ गया…

☆☆

Had a life so to say

Though much ephemeral

Passed in such away that

Made me remember the God..!

☆☆☆☆☆

रंजोगम तो तमाम मिट गए मगर

तेरा एहसास रह ही गया,

मगर खुश हूँ कि चलो तेरा कुछ

तो अपने पास रह गया…!

☆☆

☆ Your Feelings ☆

 Though the suffering has gone

yet the feeling still remains,

Happy that atleast something of

yours is still left inside me…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Unchanged Stories ☆

वक्त ने कई ज़ख्म भर दिए,

यादें भी अब कम खलती हैं,

पर किताबों पर धूल जमने से

भला कहानियाँ कहाँ बदलती हैं..!

☆☆

Time has healed many a wound,

Memories are also scarce now…

But when do stories ever change by

settling of dust on the books…!

हम दोनों को

हम जैसे बहुत मिलेंगे,

बस हम दोनों को

हम दोनों नहीं मिलेंगे..

☆☆

We both will find

many like us,

It’s just that we won’t

find each other…

☆☆☆☆☆

खुद के सामने खड़े होके मैंने

खुद से ही माफ़ी माँग ली…

मैंने खुद अपना दिल दुखाया है

औरों को खुश करते करते

☆☆

Standing in front of myself

I apologized to myself

Since I kept others happy

by hurting my heart

☆☆☆☆☆

कैदी हैं सब यहाँ…

कोई ख्वाबों का..

तो कोई ख्वाहिशों का..

तो कोई ज़िम्मेदारियों का…

☆☆

Everyone is prisoner here,

Some of their dreams,

While some of their desires…

Others of responsibilities…

☆☆☆☆☆

होती तो हैं ख़ताएँ

हर एक से मगर…

कुछ जानते नहीं हैं

कुछ मानते नहीं…

☆☆

Committal of mistakes

Happens by everyone…

Some are not aware of it

While others don’t accept it…
