मायूस हूँ, हाँ
फ़क़ीर तो नहीं
हमदर्दी माँगता हूँ
कोई खैरात तो नहीं.
गैरतमंद हूँ औ'
सिजदा करता हूँ
सर झुकाता हूँ मगर
नवाज़िश में नहीं.
Translation:
To this world...
Yes, I’m dejected but not a beggar
I do want empathy but not charity.
I’m a self respecting man
and bow my head in gratitude to God
not to be mistaken for your appreciation.
बहुत सुंदर,खूबसूरत और गहरे भाव है छोटी से रचना में.......................
ReplyDeletebut translated version is a bit less poetic i suppose....specially last two lines...
hope u don't mind sir..its just an opinion.
regards.
anu
..me mind your evaluation Anu? You kidding? On the contrary I'm obliged by your observation and time given to my writing. On scrutinizing I agree with you and would like to improve upon it whenever I can. Any suggestions are welcome again. I might replace my translated lines with those of yours if they sound better. So, please get going with your pen and paper:):)
