English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 222
☆☆☆☆☆
रिश्तों का नूर तो
मासूमियत से है…
ज़्यादा समझदारियों से
रिश्ते फ़ीके पड़ने लगते हैं..
☆☆
Lustre of relationship
Lies in its innocence…
Excess sensibility results
In fading of relationships .
☆☆☆☆☆
हक़ीकत की भीड़ से..
कुछ गुमशुदा सपने ढूँढ रहे हैं
आज कल हम अपनो में…
कुछ अपने ढूँढ रहे हैं …
☆☆
In the crowd of stark reality…
Looking for few missing dreams
Nowadays I’m searching for
Very own in midst of our own…
☆☆☆☆☆
गुज़र जाते हैं खूबसूरत लम्हें
यूं ही मुसाफिरों की तरह..
यादें वहीं खडी रह जाती हैं
रूके रास्तों की तरह…
☆☆
Beautiful moments slip away
Just like the passengers…
Memories stagnate there
Like the paused paths…
☆☆☆☆☆
तेरे दीदार का शौक है मुझे
और तेरी याद में सुकून …
समझ नहीं आता तुझे देखूं या
बंद आंखों से तुझे याद करुं..
☆☆
Seeing you is my weakness while
Find solace in your remembrance
Too confused whether to see you
Or remember you with closed eyes
