English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media# 101
वो हूँ मैं…
गुज़ार दिये होंगे तुमने,
कई दिन, महीने और साल
काट ना सकोगे
जो एक रात, वो हूँ मैं…,
☆
की होगी गुफ्तगू तुमने
कई दफा कई लोगों से,
दिल पर जो लगेगी
जो एक बात, वो हूँ मैं…,
☆
भीड़ में जब तन्हा,
खुद को पाओगे तुम,
अपनेपन का एहसास कराये,
जो साथ, वो हूँ मैं…,
☆
बिताये होंगे तुमने तमाम
हसीन पल सबके साथ,
भुला नहीं पाओगे,
जो एक याद, वो हूँ मैं…,
☆☆☆☆☆
That is Me Only…!
☆
Countless days, months
and the years,
You might have spent,
But the dreadful night
That you couldn’t pass
I am that sleepless night only…
☆
Many a time, on
myriad occasions,
You may have conversed
with umpteen people
But that hurtful comment
you’ll always remember
That remark is me only…
☆
When you find yourself
lonely in the crowd,
Surely you’ll find me
as someone
who makes you feel
loved again thoroughly,
That comforting companion is me only…
☆
You may have spent
umpteen pleasurable
moments with many people
But the one, that can
never be erased
I’m that lasting memory only…
