☆ English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media# 51 ☆
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
इस सफ़र में नींद
ऐसी खो गई…
हम तो न सोये,
रात थक कर सो गई..!
During this journey, the sleep
was lost in such a way
That I could not sleep,
but the tired night slept off!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
ले चल ऐ ज़िंदगी फिर से
बचपन की उन गलियों में
जहाँ ना कोई ज़रूरी था
ना ही कोई जरूरत थी….
O’life! Take me once again
In those streets of childhood
Where no one was needed
And, there used to be no need!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
मैं इतनी छोटी
कहानी भी न था,
तुम्हें ही जल्दी थी
किताब बदलने की…
I was not even
such a short story,
You were only in hurry
to change the book…!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
कभी रंगों से इक नज़्म लिखो
कभी अल्फाज़ों से तस्वीर गढ़ो
कभी खामोशी की आवाज़ सुनो
कभी चुप्पी की इबारत भी पढ़ो
Sometime write a
poem with colours
Try ever making a
picture with the words
Sometime listen to
the voice of reticence
Once in a while read
the narrative of silence..!
