English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 209
☆☆☆☆☆
मुझको तो दर्द-ए-दिल का
मज़ा याद आ गया
तुम क्यों हुए उदास
तुम्हें क्या याद आ गया…
☆☆
Remembered the bliss filled
Anguish of my lovelorn heart
Why did you become sad
Did you also miss something
☆☆☆☆☆
कहने को जिंदगी थी
बहुत मुख़्तसर मगर
कुछ यूँ बसर हुई कि
खुदा याद आ गया…
☆☆
Had a life so to say
Though much ephemeral
Passed in such away that
Made me remember the God..!
☆☆☆☆☆
अगर इश्क़ करो तो
अदब ए वफ़ा भी सीखो
ये चंद दिनों की बेकरारी
मोहब्बत नहीं होती..
☆☆
If you love someone then
Learn to practise loyalty too
A few days of restlessness
Is not construed as love…!
☆☆☆☆☆
उनके हाथों में मेहंदी लगाने का
ये फायदा हुआ…
की रात भर उनके चेहरे से
ज़ुल्फ हम हटाते रहे…
☆☆
Reward of applying mehndi on her
Hands was that I was privileged
To remove the bangs of hair from
Her face throughout the night…!
