English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media# 109
☆☆☆☆☆
गिले शिकवे ही तो थे
आंखों से गिर गए होंगे,
होठों से तो शिकायत
कभी की ही नहीं हमने…
☆
Just whines-n-grumbles, they were…
Must have fallen from the eyes,
As never, did I even make
complaints from the lips..!
☆☆☆☆☆
अब समझ लेता हूँ,
मीठे लफ़्ज़ों की कड़वाहट,
हो गया है ज़िंदगी का
तजुर्बा थोड़ा – थोड़ा…!
☆
I’m able to understand now,
the bitterness of sweet words,
A little bit of experience of the
life, I too have gone through…!
☆☆☆☆☆
ख़ता का तो पता नहीं,
बस सजा काटे जा रहे हैं,
मुश्किलें तमाम छुपा कर
बस ख़ुशियाँ बाँटे जा रहे हैं…
☆
Not sure about the fault, but
just serving the punishment,
Hiding all the rigmarole of life,
just doling out happiness…
☆☆☆☆☆
जिसे कभी न आने की
कसमें देकर आया हूं,*
उसी के क़दमों की
आहट का इंतजार भी है…
☆
Whom I have given an
oath of not to visit,
But, desperately wait for the
sound of his footsteps, too..!
