EK UNBHUJHI PYAAS
UNQUENCHED THIRST

Unn baharo ki zindagi ke safar ka
Hum ek adnaa sa paraahw thhi,

Unhone kucch pul ki barsaat se,
Humaari banjar zami ko sar-sabz kur diya

Lekin kubhi naa bhujne waali pyaas dekur,
Woh bahaarein aage burh guyi,

Woh pyaar ke jull bhurre badal,
Kubh rukte hain kubh thhumte hain,


Apni manzil ki aur aage bhurr guye,
Aur peecche cchorh guye ik ajeeb see unbhujhi pyaas,


Kucch adh julle chiraagh
Jo rooh ko roshan kurna to chaahte thhe,

Purr kurr na sukke.

In the life Journey of beautiful Spring
We a trivial camp where it halted momentarily,

In the few moments of its benevolence,
Its cool showers enthused greenery on our parched land,

Leaving behind an everlasting and unquenchable thirst,
Those bounties of Spring moved on,

The clouds soaking in the waters of love,
When do they ever stop or halt?

They moved on towards their destination.
Leaving behind a strange unquenchable thirst,

Some half lit lamps
Which wished to illuminate our souls
But could not provide luminescence..
