काँटा...
ख़ुशी है एक फूल
जो शाम होने तक
मुरझा के बिखर जाती,
ग़म एक काँटा
जो हर रात के बाद
मज़बूत, कठोर, नुकीला
हुआ चला जाता.
Translation:
Joy is a flower
which wilts and withers
by the evening,
grief is a thorn
which grows more
potent, hard and sharp
with each passing night.
Phool fir aate hain, kaante ek baar aa ke fir nahi aate.
