English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 213
☆☆☆☆☆
तमन्ना ने जिंदगी के आँचल में सर
रख कर पूछा “मै कब पूरी होउंगी?”
जिंदगी ने हँसकर जवाब दिया-
जो पूरी हो जाये वो तमन्ना ही क्या…
☆☆
Keeping the head in the life’s lap
Wish asked, “When will I get fulfilled?”
Life responded bursting into laughters
How can it be a wish if it gets fulfilled…
☆☆☆☆☆
यूँ तो रोज़ खत लिखता रहा उनके नाम
क्या पता कभी पहुँचे भी उन तलक…
बहार क्या आई मानो जैसे फ़िज़ाओं में
मेरे तमाम ख़तों के जवाब बिखर गए…!
☆☆
Though kept writing letters everyday
Knoweth not if they ever reached her
Onset of spring filled the environs
With the answers to all my letters…!
☆☆☆☆☆
तेरी यादों की नौकरी में
दीदार की पगार मिलती है,
ख़र्च हो जाते हैं आँसू आँखों के
रहमत कहाँ उधार मिलती है..
☆☆
In the job of your memories
Glimpses get paid as salary
Tears of eyes get spent, but
D’you ever get charity on credit
☆☆☆☆☆
छू जाते हो तुम मुझे हर रोज़
एक नया ख्वाब बनकर…
ये दुनिया तो ख़ामख़ाह कहती है
कि तुम मेरे करीब नहीं हो…!
☆☆
You embrace me everyday
By becoming a new dream…
World needlessly says just like
that you are not close to me…
