☆ Footprints ☆

अरे नादान, नक्शा-ए-कदम

किधर ढूँढता है तू…

जब तक चलेगा नहीं तब तक तेरे

कदमों के निशान बनेंगे कैसे…!

☆☆

O’ dimwit! What imprints of

your steps you’re looking for

Unless you begin to walk,

how will footprints be made…!

☆☆☆☆☆

हमने ऐसी भी क्या खता कर दी,

जो काबिले माफी नहीं…

तुम्हें देखा नहीं कितने दिनों से,

क्या ये सजा काफी नहीं…

☆☆

What mistake have I committed

That is not firgivable…

Haven’t seen you for so many days,

isn’t this punishment enough…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Effulgent Soul ☆

सोचो तो तमाम सिलवटों

से भरी है रूह,

देखो तो एक शिकन भी

नहीं है लिबास में …

☆☆

One may envisage that

soul is full of crumples

When envisioned, there’s not

even a wrinkle on attire…

☆☆☆☆☆

हो सकता है हमारे जैसे

हजारों मिल जाएँ तुम्हें

पर अफसोस अब तुम्हें

हम कभी नहीं मिलेंगे…!

☆☆

May be you will find

thousands like me…

But alas! You shall

never find me again…!

☆ Walk Alone ☆

सच कहने का अगर

इतना शौक है,

तो तन्हा चलने का भी

हौसला रखना…!

☆☆

If you are so fond of

telling the truth,

Then, have the courage

to walk all alone…!

☆☆☆☆☆ 

मेरी इक ज़िंदगी के कितने

हिस्सेदार  हैं  मगर,

किसी की  जिंदगी  में  मेरा

हिस्सा  क्यूँ  नहीं  होता…

☆

हमारे लिए तो इस दुनिया

में खास वो ही लोग हैं….

जो वक्त आने पर अपना

कीमती वक्त दिया करते हैं..!

☆☆

There are umpteen

sharers of my life,

But I dont have any claim

in someone else’s life…!

☆

For me those people   only

reside in my heart…

Who give their precious time

when the time comes..!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Sleepless Soul ☆

☆ 

तमन्नायें यूंही मचलती रहीं

रातें आँखों में ढलती रहीं,

जिस्म को तो नींद आती रही मगर

रूह करवट बदलती रही

☆☆ 

Yearnings kept on lingering but the

nights kept on passing in the eyes,

Body always fell asleep but the

sleepless soul kept tossing itself…!

खामोशी का मजा..

वो ही उठा सकते हैं,

जो फना हुआ हो…

किसी की मोहब्बत में..

☆☆

They can only enjoy

the fun of silence…

Who have sacrificed their

life in someone’s love…!

☆☆☆☆☆ 

रूह पर “मैं” का दाग़

आ जाता है जब…

दिलों  में  “दिमाग़”

आ जाता  है  तब…!

☆☆

When the stain of “I” 

comes on the soul…

Then the “mind” takes

birth in the hearts…!

☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Wandering Wind ☆

ये हवा यूं ही ख़ाक छानती

फिरती है यहाँ ,

या इसकी भी कोई चीज़

खो गई है यहाँ…!

☆☆

The wind just wanders

around here aimlessly…

Or it, too, has lost

something around here…!

☆☆☆☆☆

इक शमा की मानिंद खुद को

जलाता हूँ हर रोज,

बुझ तो जाऊँगा मगर तमाम 

ज़िंदगी रौशन कर जाऊँगा..!

☆☆

I keep burning the life

like a candle everyday,

I’ll be extinguished for  sure

but will light up many lives..!

ऐ पूछने वाले, तेरा

तहे दिल से शुक्रिया,

दर्द तो अब भी बाकी है,

मगर पहले से कम…!

O’ asker, thank you from

the bottom of my heart…

Though the pain is still there,

but much less than before…!

☆☆☆☆☆

की परवाह करते करते,

जब से बेखबर हुआ हूँ सबसे,

तमाम सुकून है अब जिंदगी में…!

☆☆ 

I was unnecessarily tired of

caring too much for the people…

Ever since became unmindful of them,

peace has descended in my life…!

☆☆☆☆☆

अभी तो ये रौशनी सिर्फ

दो कदम  ही  गई  थी…

पर ना जाने किसकी नज़र

दीये  को  लग  गई ..!

☆☆

Light has not even started

dispelling the darkness

Someone has cast his

evil eye on the lamp…!

इत्तफाकन  कुछ  यूं  हुआ  कि  

जब  भी  जरूरत  पड़ी  मुझे,

आदतन  हर  शख्स  को  मजबूर

या  मसरूफ  ही  पाया  मैंने..!

Is it just a coincidence that whenever  

I was in dire need of help

Perpetually, found every person

either helpless or too busy…!

छप के बिका करते थे, 

जो  अख़बार  कभी…

सुना  है  इन  दिनों  वो

used to sell after printing,

I have heard that these days

they print after selling…

Many a thing keep changing

with the passage of time,

Earlier we used to stubbornly insist,

Now we simply compromise…

तुमको याद कर लूँ तो मिल जाती

है हर दर्द से राहत,

लोग बेवजह ही शोर मचाते हैं

कि दवाइयाँ महंगी हैं…!

☆☆

I’m relieved of every pain

whenever I remember you

People unnecessarily complain

that medicines are expensive…!

बेहद उलझे हुए रिश्तों को

छोड़ देना ही अच्छा,

क्योंकि  गांठों  में  कभी 

धागा  नहीं  ढूंढा  जाता..!

to believe in magic too,

Now is the age when even

the reality is doubted…!

यूँ तो गलत नहीं हुआ करते

अंदाज़ चेहरों के,

खुलती है … पढ़ी जाती है…,

फिर रद्दी हो जाती है…

ऐ ज़िंदगी… तू भी कुछ-कुछ

किताब सी है… है. ना…!

they’ve become breath of my life

lo and behold, I’ve erased all your

words from the book of my heart…!
