English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 231
☆☆☆☆☆
चार दिन भी लोगों की आंखो में
नमी ना होगी,
मैं फ़ना भी हो जाऊं
तो किसे क्या कमी होगी…!
☆☆
No one’s eyes will well up with tears,
even for four days,
And, no one will notice,
even if I perish…
☆☆☆☆☆
कौन सा ग़म था जो तरोताज़ा न था
इतना ग़म मिलेगा, ये भी अंदाज़ा न था,
आपकी झील सी आंखों का क्या क़ुसूर
डूबने वाले को ही गहराई का अंदाजा न था…
☆☆
No melancholy is new, yet
I didn’t expect this depth of anguish.
What fault do your ocean-like eyes hold?
Only the drowned ones couldn’t fathom the depth…
☆☆☆☆☆
फना होने वाले तो
बिना बताए ही चले जाते हैं,
रोज तो वो मरते है
जो खुद से ज्यादा किसी और को चाहते हैं…!
☆☆
Those who leave the world,
depart without warning,
The ones who love someone more than life itself,
die daily…
☆☆☆☆☆
कितना अकेला रह जाता है वो शख्स
जिसे जानते तो तमाम लोग हैं,
मगर समझता कोई नही…
☆☆
How lonely is my soul
Known by many,
yet understood by none?”
