English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 199
☆☆☆☆☆
अधूरी कहानी पर ख़ामोश
लबों का पहरा है
चोट रूह की है इसलिए
दर्द ज़रा गहरा है….
☆☆
Silent lips are the sentinels
Of the unfulfilled fairytale…
Wound is of the spirited soul
So the pain is rather intense….
☆☆☆☆☆
हंसते हुए चेहरों को गमों से
आजाद ना समझो साहिब
मुस्कुराहट की पनाहों में भी
हजारों दर्द छुपे होते हैं…
☆☆
O’ Dear, Don’t even consider that
Laughing faces are free of sorrow
Innumerable pains are hidden
Even behind the walls of a smile…
☆☆☆☆☆
चुपचाप चल रहे थे
ज़िन्दगी के सफर में
तुम पर नज़र क्या पड़ी
बस गुमराह हो गए…
☆☆
Was walking peacefully
In the journey of the life
Just casting a glance on you
Made my journey go astray…
☆☆☆☆☆
ज़रा सी कैद से ही
घुटन होने लगी…
तुम तो पंछी पालने
के बड़े शौक़ीन थे…
☆☆
Just a little bit of confinement
Made you feel so suffocated
But keeping the birds caged
You were so very fond of…!
