Wellbeing...


Friends avoid asking about
my wellbeing these days
is it pain reflecting on my face
or are they afraid I might
tell the truth as well?

हाल...

हाल अब मेरा पूछने से 
कतराने लगे हैं लोग..
दर्द या तो झलकने लगा है चेहरे पे
या सच ही न बता दूँ कहीं
ये सोच के घबराने लगे हैं दोस्त!

  4. क्या किसीने
    खुदके मन का शटर स्पीड
    और
    अपने आँखों का अपर्चर
    इतना कम किया
    की मेरे चेहरे पर इतना अच्छा फोकस मिला ?

    या में इतना पागल
    की मुझे लगा
    सब लोग ओटोमैटिक मन से देखेंगे ?

    Unko dekhe se jo aatee hai chehre pe ronak,

    1. This is a complete sher, Prasad, and I believe it is written by Ghalib Sahib.

  8. Sad, but true words, Amit, and yes, magiceye is right -- unfortunately. Far too many people are better at talking than listening! Have a lovely evening!

  20. Too good Amitji :)
    Haal-e-dil through these lines expressed aptly.
    That's a good initiative of giving both the English as well as Hindi versions of it.
    Keep posting, looking forward to more of these thought provoking lines

  22. Beautifully put. However, I always like the Hindi ones better.. they seem to have more feeling. To get the apt translation is quite something.
