English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 158
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Life-giving Trees…☆
निरंतर शोभित कराते महामार्गों को
जीवनदाई वृक्षों कि ये अनंत कतार
प्राण तजते, क्रूर विकास-पटल पर
पुनः रोपित होते, करते अपना विस्तार…!
☆☆
Continuously adoring the highways are
these endless rows of life-giving trees
Sacrifice themselves, on the cruel altar of
development but they resurrect again…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Untrue Dreams…☆
ख़्वाब झूठे ही सही
मगर कम से कम
तुमसे मुलाक़ात तो
रोज़ करवाते हैं…
☆☆
Dreams may be false
but at least
they make me meet
you every day…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Shortcomings…☆
☆☆
कमियाँ खोजोगे तो
तमाम मिल ही जाएंगी …
रब के बंदे हैं, साहब
खुद रब तो नहीं…!
☆☆
If you look for imperfections,
You will find in plenty
I’m the God’s servitor, Sire,
Not the Lord Himself…!
☆☆☆☆☆
☆ Sincerety…☆
दरवाज़ा मेरे घर का
बंद देख कर
झोंका हवा का खिड़की के पर्दे
हिला के चला गया…
☆☆
Seeing the door of
my house closed…
Gust of wind shook the window
curtains and went away…
