Humne dekhe the khwaab <br />Par kismet ne kuch aur hi dekha thaa <br />Kuch baaki the hisaab <br />Zakhm aur bhi gehra hona thaa <br /> <br />Naya saal kyaan le kar aaya <br />Ishq ki zubaan hi jal gayee <br />Kaapti hui yaadon ne teer chalaaya <br />Aur ishq ke aasoonoyon me doob gayee <br /> <br />Kyoon baar baar ishq me khaak hui <br />Woh tere naseeb mein thaa hi nahin <br />Kyaan khaak se bhi phool khilega koi? <br />Shaayad isi ummed mein baidhi rahin <br /> <br />***************************************************** <br />(The meter and rythm gets lost in the translation...This just gives the essence) <br /> <br />I had seen some dreams <br />But my destiny had seen something else <br />It had some balance calculations <br />The wound had to become even deeper <br /> <br />What did the New Year bring? <br />The tongue of love got scalded <br />An arrow of trembling memories struck <br />And I drowned in the tears of love <br /> <br />Love turned into sheer dust again and again <br />It was just not not meant to be <br />Do flowers bloom from dust? <br />Still keep sitting in that hope<br /><br />Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-1-bilingual-khaak-se-phool-flowers-from-dust/
