English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 186
☆☆☆☆☆
चलो अब जाने भी दो
क्या करोगे दास्तां सुनकर
खामोशी तुम समझोगे नहीं
और हमसे बयाँ होगा नहीं…
☆☆
Let’s leave it at that now….
What’ll you do by hearing my story
You won’t understand the silence
And I’ll not be able to explain…!
☆☆☆☆☆
मेरी तमन्ना न थी कभी
तेरे बगैर रहने की मगर
मजबूर को मजबूर की
मजबूरीयां मजबूर कर देती हैं!
☆☆
Never did I desire to
Live without you but…
The helplessness compels
the helpless to live without!
☆☆☆☆☆
वो मुझसे हारा तो जरूर पर
मेरी पीठ थपथपा के गया…
मेरा गुरुर, मेरी जीत
सब मिट्टी में मिला के गया…!
☆☆
He lost to me but his gentle
conceding pat on my back…
Shattered my ego, my victory
my pride to the smithereens..!
☆☆☆☆☆
कुछ ऐसे हो गए है
इस दौर के रिश्ते,
आवाज अगर तुम ना दो
तो बोलते वह भी नही..!
☆☆
Relationships of this era
have become such that
If you don’t invoke them
then they also won’t speak
