☆ English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of  Anonymous litterateur of Social Media# 45☆

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

सच को तमीज ही

नहीं बात करने की,

झूठ  को  तो  देखो

कितना मीठा बोलता है…

Truth  doesn’t  even

have the manner to talk

Just look at the  lie,

how sweetly it talks…

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

हम तो फूलों की तरह,

अपनी आदत से बेबस हैं

तोड़ने वाले को भी,

खुशबू की सजा देते हैं…

Helpless with the habit,

Like the flowers, I even

penalise the pluckers

With the fragrance only…!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

अगर दर्द ने मज़बूत, तो

डर ने बहादुर बना दिया

बार-बार  दिल  टूटने से

अड़चनें सारी जाती रहीं…

If the pains made me strong

Then  fear  turned me brave,

Repeated  heartbreaks  just

removed all the impediments

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

शुक्र कर ये दिल तेरे

लिए सिर्फ धड़कता है

गर बोलने लगता तो

क़यामत ही आ जाती…

Thankfully, this heart

Just only beats for you

If only it could speak,

Doomsday would come

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

मेरे होने में किसी तौर से

शामिल  हो  जाओ,

गर तुम मसीहा नहीं होते हो

तो क़ातिल ही हो जाओ…

Merge in my existence in

some way or the other,

If you can’t become Messiah,

then try being an assassin!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ 

ख़ुदा  करे कि तुझे

इश्क हो मेरे जैसा

और तुझे महबूब

मिले खुद तेरे जैसा…

May God make you

fall in love like me…

And,  may  you  get

a lover like yourself…

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

रिश्वत भी नहीं लेती

मुझे छोड़ने की…

कम्बख्त ये तेरी यादें

भी ईमानदार लगती हैं…

They don’t even take

bribe to leave me…

Your wretched memories

also seem to be honest..!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

सितमग़र का हर निशाना

बे-ख़ता  रहा …

हर बार तीर निकला

ज़िगर  चीरता  हुआ…

Every aim of the tyrant

was bang on the target

Each  time  it  pierced

through the heart only…

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

भरोसा जितना कीमती होता जाता है

धोखा भी उतना ही महंगा हो जाता है

ईमानदारी का दाम भला कौन जाने

यहाँ हर बेईमान शहंशाह बना जाता है

More the trust intensifies

Costlier becomes the betrayal

Who cares the honesty here

Cheats only rules the roost…..!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

बहुत कुछ बदल जाता है

बढ़ती उम्र के साथ,

पहले हम ‘ज़िद‘  किया करते थे,

अब ‘समझौते‘….

A  lot  changes…

With  the  growing  age,

Earlier I’d demand stubbornly

Now just the compromises!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

ना जाने कौन रह गया है

भीगने  से  इस  शहर में,

जिसके लिए लौटती है

रह-रह के बारिश फिर से

Do not know who is left in

this city from getting wet,

For  whom  the rain keeps

returning again and again…

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ 

एक ख़लिश सी

रह  गयी  दिल  में,

मुझ जैसा इश्क़ करता,

मुझ  से  भी  कोई…

A little grudge is

left  in  the  heart,

How I wish someone could

love me like me only…!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

आँधियाँ  हसरत भरी, कोशिश कर

सर पटक कर रह गईं…

मगर बच गए वो पेड़ जिनमें

हुनर था झुकने का…

Storms kept trying fiercely,

Only to fail repeatedly; but…

The trees  having skills  of

Bowing low survived merrily!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

सुना है आज समंदर को

बड़ा  गुमान  आया  है

उधर ही ले चलो कश्ती

जहां तूफान आया है…

Heard  that  the  sea  is

feeling too boisterous today

Take the boat there only

where the storm is raging…!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

नींद चुराने वाले पूछते हैं

आप सोते क्यों नहीं,

गर इतनी ही फिक्र है तो फिर

वो हमारे होते क्यों नहीं…

Sleep-stealer asks me

Why  don’t  you  sleep…

If  he is  so much concerned,

Why doesn’t he become mine

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

हवाएँ  आज  शायद…

हड़ताल  पर  हैं

आज  तुम्हारी

खुशबू नहीं  आई…

Probably, breeze is on

strike today since, your

fragrance  didn’t  envelop

the  environs  today…

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

वजह तो थी तुम्हें

बदनाम करने की

कसम खाई  थी

मगर चुप रहने की…

अश्क पलकों  में

समेट डाले  सारे

ये इंतहा थी मेरी

ज़ुर्म  सहने  की..!.

The motive was

to disrepute you

But, had vowed

to keep quiet…

Restrained all the

tears in the eyelashes

This was the limit of 

bearing the atrocities..!

 ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

ये  जो  तुमने

खुद को बदला है…

ये  बदला   है,

या “बदला” है…!

The way you’ve

changed yourself…

This is a change,

Or a “revenge”…!

   ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃

वैसे तो कई किरदार निभायें हैं,

इस छोटी सी जिंदगी में

लेकिन ग़मगीन होकर खुश

दिखना निहायत मुश्किल था!

Although played so many

Characters in this short life

The most challenging was to

Look happy while being sad
