Hai agar roz suraj dharti se door utna hi
toh chaar peher raat ke andhere mein kyo,
kya roshni pe bhi saaya chha jaata hai kabhi kabhi..?
Hai gar mil jaana aakhir yamuna ko ganga mein
toh har ghaat ek teerth kyon nahi,
kya sheetalta ka bhi hai naap koi..?
Hai jab rishte naate sabhi chhoot jaane
toh kyo chhalta hai kisi ko koi,
kya pal bhar ki chain ki saanse ek tohfa nahi..?
Hai har muskurahat ki aahat mein gham ki parchhai
toh kyo siskiyon ki aahat mein khushi ki sargam nahi,
kya khushi aur gham ek sikke ke hi do pehlu nahi..?
Hai gar pyaar ka jazba beintehaan
toh ho jaati hai aankhein nam kyon,
aashiqui ashkon se na seenchi jaae- kya ye mumkin nahi..?
Your question is amply meaningful, Sakshi.
Something to ponder about, isn’t it?
How I wish I could understand Hindu
Well, the least I can do is give you a rough translation of this poem.
If earth is equally far away from sun everyday
Why do we have a few hours of darkness?
Does it mean darkness wins at times?
If waters of Yamuna (a holy river in India) has to meet Ganga (another holy river) finally
Why isn’t every river side a place of pilgrimage?
If its the same water, how do we decide what is Holy and what not?
If all relationships and human bonds will be broken in the end
Why do people cheat each other?
Isn’t a few moments of life, not a gift?
If the cycle of happiness and sadness prevails life long,
Why do we feel more sad about sadness and not see a silver lining?
Aren’t these two emotions the two sides of the same coin?
If you really deeply love someone,
Then why does love hurt?
Is it not possible to let the relationship grow without making sacrifices?
Wow! Thanks so much..
