❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
लोग लम्हों में ही
ज़िंदा रहते हैं
वक़्त अकेला सिर्फ
इसी सबब से है…!
People live mere
in the moments
Time is aloof due
to this reason only…!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
रिश्तों का नूर तो
मासूमियत से है…
ज़्यादा समझदारियों से…
रिश्ते फ़ीके पड़ने लगते हैं…
Effulgence of relationships
resides just in innocence
Relationships begin to fade
with excess of wiseness!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
सर पर ताज रखते ही,
दुश्मन तो मिल ही जायेंगे
पहले दोस्त तो ढूँढ़ लूँ,
लिबास पहनकर फकीरी का..!
Inevitably many enemies will
be found with the coronation,
Let me first find the friends
donning the garb of a fakir..!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
अक्सर वही दीये
हाथों को जला देते हैं,
जिन्हें हम हवा से
बचा रहे होते हैं..!
Often, the same lamps
only burn the hands,
whom we keep protecting
from the gust of wind!
