❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
मेरी ना सही, तो ना सही
तो आपकी होनी चाहिए,
तमन्ना किसी एक की तो
जरूर पूरी होनी चाहिए…
No problem, if not mine, then
Your wish should be met,
But the desire of atleast
One of us must be fulfilled…
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
किसी ने मुझसे पूछा कि
दर्द की कीमत क्या है?
मैंने कहा, मुझे नहीं पता…
मुझे तो मुफ्त में ही मिला
बस कुछ लोगों पर हद से
ज्यादा यकीन किया था!
Someone asked me…
what is the cost of pain
I said, I don’t know
since I got it for free
I only believed in some
people to the extreme!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
ये भी कैसा अजब नशा है
किस गजब ख़ुमार में हूँ,
तू आ के जा भी चुका है
और मैं तेरे इंतज़ार में हूँ…
What type of strange
intoxication is this
What an amazing
hangover I am in…
You have come
and gone also
And, I am still
waiting for you…
