English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 213
☆☆☆☆☆
बिना रिश्ते के जो अजनबी
अपने हो जाते हैं….
कभी-कभी खून के रिश्तों से
भी बड़े हो जाते हैं …
☆☆
Relationships with strangers
Become such treasured ones
That sometimes they become
Precious than the blood relations
☆☆☆☆☆
मुसाफिर कल भी था
मुसाफिर आज भी हूँ;
कल अपनों की तलाश में था
आज अपनी तलाश में हूँ…
☆☆
Upheavals and storms inside
Endless rounds of tourists outside
How coast manages co-ordination
Of so many diverse contradictions
☆☆☆☆☆
हम तो नरम पत्तों की…
शाख़ हुआ करते थे…!
छीले इतने गए कि…
खंज़र हो गए…!!
☆☆
Used to be lush tender branch
Laden with soft green leaves…
Got chiseled off so much
That turned into a dagger…!
☆☆☆☆☆
कौन बहीखाता रखे…
किसको कितना दिया
और किसने कितना बचाया
ख़ुदा ने आसान हिसाब बनाया
सबको खाली हाथ भेजा
और खाली हाथ ही बुलाया…
☆☆
Who to keep a book of account
How much did someone give
And how much did one save
God simplified the calculations
Sent everyone empty handed
And called back empty handed …
