लिबास

दुश्मनों ने तो  आ के पूछी खैरियत 

दोस्त मेरी मौजूदगी से शर्मिंदा नज़र आये,

मैं गया था आपके जलसे में लेकिन 

मामूली कपड़ों में  आप  पहचान नहीं पाए!

Translation:

Attire

Friends by my friendship looked embarrassed

Though the enemies came to talk forward,

I had gone to attend your gala party

In my ordinary clothes you notice didn’t  me!

Explanation:

The poet had gone to a grand event where all importance is generally given to attire and appearance. 

While his friends were ashamed of being associated with him due to his humble clothes, his enemies did not let go of a chance to humiliate him, and mocked on the pretext of asking about his well being.  

Oblivious to his plight, the host, a close friend himself, could not recognize him, being too obsessed with those richly attired attendees!

From here to Eternity..!

'I love you' ...a cloud to an island!

Spotted this vagabond from the aircraft

इश्क़ ?

लबरेज़  था जब, तो आते थे कई यार मश्कें  लिए हुए .

प्यासा हूँ आज,    तो मसरूफ़ हैं     सब ही कहीं -कहीं !

Translation:

Love ?

Many used to come with pitchers full ,  when satiated was I.

Am  thirsty today, but all are busy, somewhere or the other!

Meaning:

They  used to adore,  claiming to be lovers,  when I was  at the prime,

All have, however, found other interests when I need them most today!

Explanation:

This verse has although been written in first person, and obviously on myself, but it universally applies to a man, a woman, a flowering plant, a fruit bearing tree, a cow, a dog, a horse, and even to inanimate objects like a car, a house or a computer!

Life is like that darlingsJ
