☆ English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media# 72☆
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
ऐ रब, दोस्तों को भी नवाज़
दे ये दर्द की दौलत
उनके साथ नाइंसाफी हो
ये मुझे कतई मंजूर नहीं…!
O Lord, do bless my friends
with the wealth of pain….
Any injustice done to them
Is not acceptable to me….!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
मुझ को है ये आरज़ू कि
वो उठाएँ नक़ाब ख़ुद
उन को ये इंतिज़ार है कि
हम इल्तिज़ा करें कोई…
I’ve this desire that she
should lift the veil herself
While she awaits that
I must request for it.
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
कुछ तो तुम्हारी
निगाहें काफिर थीं
फिर कुछ मुझे भी
तो खराब होना था…!
As such, your eyes
were a little infidel
Then, I had to
get spoilt, too…!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
वो ना मिलते तो
ही अच्छा होता
बेकार में ही मोहब्बत
से नफरत हो गई…!
It’d have been much better
if we handn’t met at all….
Avoidably, developed a
hatred towards the love!
