MY URDU QUATRAINS : A NEW PAIR
Jan-e kis mor par khara hoon main
Koi manzar naya nahin lagta.
Roz ugta hai jo naya suraj
Who bhi aksar naya nahin lagta.
-----------
Naye kapre pehn kar kya karoon ga,
Badan hi jab purana ho gaya hai.
Ta’alluq tor kar dair-o-haram se,
Khuda khud be-thikana ho gaya ho hai
-------------
Translation
I wonder at which
end of the road am I standing now.
No scenario appears
to be new.
Even the new
sun which rises daily
Does not often
look to be new.
********
How shall I
benefit by donning new garments?
When my body
itself has become old.
By keeping away from mosques and temples,
God ,too, has
lost a personal abode.
