❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

 बुला  रही  हैं  हमें

 तल्ख़ियाँ हक़ीक़त की

 ख़याल-ओ-ख़्वाब की

 दुनिया से अब निकलते हैं..

 

Calling us are the bitter

 realities  of  the  life…

 It’s time to come out of the

 world of dream n euphoria

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

 रास्ता है कि कटता

 चला जाता है…

और फ़ासला है कि

 कम ही नहीं होता…

 

The way keeps  

 on  going  past…

But, the damn distance

 never reduces only…

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

 

आज परछाईं से पूछ ही लिया,

 क्यों चलती हो तुम मेरे साथ

उसने भी हँस कर कहा,

 और कौन है बता तेरे साथ…!!

 

Today I asked the shadow,

 Why d’you accompany me

It retorted laughingly, tell me

 Who else is there with you!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

  उजालों में तो मिल जाएगा

 कोई  साथ  निभाने  वा‌ला

 तलाश  तो  उनकी  करो

 जो अंधेरे में भी साथ दे…

 

You  will  always  find

 someone  in  the  light

Look for someone who’ll be

 with you even in darkness!
