English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 143
☆☆☆☆☆
हमने तो शिद्दत से सज़दे
किये थे तेरे दर पे,
क्या ख़बर थी कि हर
बुत ख़ुदा नहीं होता…
☆☆
I kept worshipping at your
doorstep with great devotion,
Never did I know that
not every idol is the God…
☆☆☆☆☆
कसमों के, वादों के बहुत देख
लिए हमने अय्यारी भरे रंग
है क्या कोई इतना अपना जो
अँधेरों को गले लगा बैठे मेरे संग..!
☆☆☆
I’ve seen many a shade and
colours of oath and promise
Is there anyone who could be
embracing me sans disguise..!
☆☆☆☆☆
न जाने किस बात का गुरूर है उस मगरूर को,
हंस कर हर बात मेरी उड़ा देता है वो
बड़ी मशक्कतों से सुलझाते हैं हम खुद को, मगर
रोज़ एक नई मुश्किल में डाल देता है वो…!
☆☆☆
Knoweth not what arrogance that egoist has,
He laughs off at my every advice sarcastically
I resolve my problems with great difficulty, but
Every day he puts me in a new a trouble…!
☆☆☆☆☆
टिके हैं यकीन के धागों
पर जो रिश्ते,
भूल कर भी उन्हें कभी
उलझने मत देना…!
☆☆☆
Relationship that rests on
the thread of faith and trust
Don’t ever let them get
entangled even by mistake…!
