Something I wrote

Here is something I wrote as a New Year message to friends :

Dont get too hassled by some of the urdu words

 

 

 

Guzishta saal, guzarne ke liye hi  aaya tha,

so guzar gaya

Saal ke fakhat teen sau painsath din

par har din ke kambakth beinteha lamhe

Yaadein ban kar reh jayenge,

kuch meethi,  kuch haseen,

kuch dilkash, kuch dil fareb.

 

Quanoon-e-kainaat mein muquarrar hai

Duniya ka Sooraj se ek chakkar hai !

In chakkaron me guzar jaate kai saal

Kya rakha ha isme,

kyon hai insaaniyat , bequaraar, be-haal ?

Kyon ginen hum  yoon hi saal, dar-saal ?

 

Chand dinon me hoga

Ek aur Ailan-e-naya saal

Shayad shuru ho ek naya chakkar

Yeh kab khatam hua ? jo phir

Shuru ho ek naya chakkar, naya saal?

 

Par choriye, in baton ko, kya rakha hai.

Dil se dua karta hoon,

Naye Saal mein

Neend se aap jab jagein

Jamaal-e-dilfaroze aapko bakshe

Ek naya khush-haal daur 

Jiske aagaz mein ho hazir ,

Aapke aage - ek purnoor manzar

 

Saal-dar-saal

har naya saal ho be-misaal

 

Translation :

The year gone bye had to pass

So it has

A mere 365 days but each with

Limitless, infinite moments

Now only memories will remain

Sweet, beautiful, attractive and puzzling

 

The law of nature has decreed

That the earth has to go around the sun

Perhaps there is a kind of  an affair on

Years and eons pass in such revolutions

But let it not bother us, Why must we count ?

Lets ponder on why humanity is in such quandry.

 

In a few days

A new year shall be proclaimed

May be the earth begins another affair

With the sun. When did it end?

Why should a new one begin

 

Lets not give it too much thought.

Let me wish for you a great

Beginning

When you wake up in the new year

May the Eternal Graceful Benevolent  One

Present you with a world full of light

Happiness, Joy

 

May each year be unsurpassed in happiness
