English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 225
☆☆☆☆☆
लब तो खामोश रहेंगे…
ये वादा है मेरा तुमसे…
अगर कह बैठी कुछ निगाहें…
तो बस खफा मत होना…
☆☆
Lips shall always remain silent…
This is my promise to you …
Please don’t get upset
If eyes just utter something…
☆☆☆☆☆
माना कि इश्क़
ज़बरदस्ती नहीं होता
मगर कमबख़्त
होता जबरदस्त है…
☆☆
Agreed that the love
Never happens by coercing
But then, this wretched thing
Happens to be awesome…
☆☆☆☆☆
जो ज़ाहिर हो जाए,
वो दर्द कैसा, और…
जो ख़ामोशी ना पढ़ पाए,
वो हमदर्द ही कैसा….
☆☆
What kind of pain is that,
That gets expressed, and
What kind of soul mate is that
Who cannot read the silence…
☆☆☆☆☆
और कोई नहीं है जो
मुझको तसल्ली देता हो,
बस तेरी यादें ही हैं जो
दिल पर हाथ रख देती है…
☆☆
There is no one else who can
Give me comforting solace,
It is just your memories that
give consolation to the heart…
