English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 197
☆☆☆☆☆
मुख़्तसर सा गुरूर भी
ज़रूरी है जीने के लिए
ज़्यादा झुक के मिलो
तो दुनिया पीठ को ही
पायदान बना लेती है…
☆☆
Some arrogance, too, is
Necessary to live, if you
bend too much to meet
Then the world makes
your back a footmat only…
☆☆☆☆☆
माना तेरी उलझन हूँ मैं
पर तेरी सुलझन भी हूँ मैं…
थोड़ा दीवाना ही सही मैं
मगर बड़ा दिलदार हूँ मैं…
☆☆
Agreed I’m your riddle only…
But I’m your solution too…
Though I am bit crazy
But a large-hearted one!
☆☆☆☆☆
क्या करोगे अब तुम
मेरे पास आकर भी..
खो दिया है तुमने मुझे
बार-बार आजमा कर…
☆☆
What will you do now
By coming close to me…
You’ve lost me for good
By trying again and again
☆☆☆☆☆
हर वक़्त फ़िजाओं में,
महसूस करोगे तुम हमको…
हम दोस्ती की वो ख़ुशबू हैं,
जो महकते रहेंगे उम्र भर…
☆☆
At all times in environment
You will always feel me
I’m fragrance of friendship
That will last the whole life
