Original~ <br /> <br />lahar thee, tata par bikhar gayi <br />zindagi yoon hee guzar gayi <br /> <br />unhi raaston par kataa safar <br />guzare the log jinse kayi <br /> <br />chehraa jo bhi hamko milaa <br />usee par dikhe mukhaute kayi <br /> <br />kis but se karen shikvaa ham <br />sochate rahe din-raat yahi <br /> <br />sayaano ne bahut samjhaayaa <br />par rahe ham vahi ke vahi <br /> <br />shabd-jaal hee hamne bune, <br />hamse hui na koyi baat nayi <br /> <br />Translation~ <br /> <br />Dissipating itself like a wave on the shore, <br />This life has been just that, nothing more. <br /> <br />Same roads I've travelled again and again <br />Through which have so many passed in vain. <br /> <br />Every face that I met on the way <br />Had masks manifold, I must say. <br /> <br />Which idol I should my plaint address, <br />Day and night I'm under this stress. <br /> <br />The wise have advised me times umpteen, <br />But I've remained what I've been. <br /> <br />I just wove webs with many a word, <br />Nothing was new in what I've uttered. <br />...<br /><br />Sunil Uniyal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-hindi-ghazal-2/
