ना साथ, ना तन्हा

At Table Land, Panchgani, Maharashtra
PC: Myself

-1-
 
ना वो बिताते है चंद लम्हे अब हमारे साथ,
ना उनके साथ बिताये लम्हे तन्हा रहने देते है हमें।

(Neither do they keep my company any more,
Nor do their lingering memories let me stay alone.)

-2- 
शायद भूल हमारी ही थी, ख्वाब जो बुन बैठे थे,
बस अमावास की रात में जलती चिंगारी बन बैठे थे। 

(Probably the mistake was all mine to have knit dreams,
I had only been the burning flame on a moonless night.)

Discover new lands

Bellary Fort, (PC: Myself)


They have all said -
If one knows not where she is headed,
No wind shall ever aid her voyage.
But I simply wonder -
If all knew where they were headed,
No explorer would ever discover new lands.

बादलों से शर्त

Picture Courtesy: Google Image Search

ना हैं कभी लगाना बादलों से शर्त मुझे 
रोते हैं वो रंग-ए-मौसम बदलने तक ।
बस गुज़रे हुए उनके यादों में रोना हैं मुझे
रंग-ए-दिल मेरे खून-ए-जिगर होने तक । 

(Never would I want to bet with the clouds
They cry till the colours of the season change.
I only have to cry in the memory of those gone by
Till my heart is coloured by the bleeding of the liver.)
