रफ़ूगर...darner...

ताउम्र ढूँढा किया  मैं

ज़ख्मों के लिए अपने

रफ़ूगर  कोई  नफ़ीस,

हाय   री   क़िस्मत

मिल  सका  न  इक

फूहड़ पैबन्दकार  भी!

Translation:

Darner...

I kept looking for

a fine darner for my wounds

all my life,

was it not sheer bad luck

I couldn’t find

a sloppy patch maker even?

Monochrome...skyline

तन्हा...Lonesome...

यूँ तो घिरा रहता हूँ

यारों में हर वक़्त,

और किया करता हूँ

शौक़-औ-शग्ल कई,

दूर से देखने वाले क्या जानें 

किस क़दर तन्हा हूँ मैं!

Translation:

Lonesome...

I’m generally seen

surrounded  

by a number of friends,

or  engrossed in

many amusing pastimes  

by myself.

The onlookers however

can just not fathom

how lonesome,

and

forlorn I am

deep within!

Monochrome...cadence in harmony!

...the lilt in the man's stretched out leg, his cupped hands, the woman's stepped up foot and her shoulders is awe inspiring! ...even the cow's posture is so rhythmic and in synch !!

रिहाई...

मेरी तक़दीर को कर क़ैद 

सीमाओं में, कहाँ गए,

मुझे भूल लक्ष्मण मेरे दोस्त?

राम तो क्यों देखेंगे भला

मुझ अमर्यादित की तरफ,

रावण ही कोई  आ जाता

मेरी रिहाई का सबब बन कर!

Terrace Cafe..!

                           How romantic! I could sit here through night...

Monochrome..Kabir and followers

ज़बरदस्ती...

संभाला बहुत, न माना, निबटना पड़ेगा 

अब  तो  सख्ती  से,

उदासी पोंछ  ही  डालो  यारों, जबरन,

मेरे दिल की तख्ती से.

Translation:

By Force...

I tried to humour it in many ways

but it wouldn’d listen

hence needs to be dealt with strictly.

Come, and wipe gloom

off the slate of my heart, friends,

forcibly and completely.

Skywatch:queued up and waiting...
