English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 210
☆☆☆☆☆
तेरी एक झलक ही काफ़ी
है जीने के लिए पर दिल का
मोह ही है सारी उम्र मिल
जाये तो भी कम है
☆☆
Your one glimpse alone is
Just enough to live for but it’s the
Fascination of heart that finds
It less even if it get entire lifetime
☆☆☆☆☆
कर्ज़ होता तो
उतार भी देते
कमबख्त इश्क़ था
बस चढ़ा ही रहा…!
☆☆
If it was a loan
Would’ve paid it off
But this wretched love
Just kept piling up…!
☆☆☆☆☆
चुपचाप चल रहे थे
ज़िन्दगी के सफ़र में
तुम पर नज़र क्या पड़ी
बस गुमराह हो गये…
☆☆
Was walking quietly
In the journey of life
Just a glance at you
Misguided me forever…
☆☆☆☆☆
हुस्न के कसीदे तो
पढ़ती रहेंगी महफिलें
अगर झुर्रियाँ भी लगें
हसीं तो समझो इश्क़ है…
☆☆
Citations for the beauty
Congregations will keep writing…
If wrinkles still find you smitten
Then it’s undying love for sure…
