THE CAUSE OF RUIN: bilingual poem


Why say my heart I was torn apart,
When gone already is my heart?


I rejoiced when her love I found
But its bitterness did astound.

I lost the heart that I had won.
The ways of love are known to none.

These vows of living together
Last as long as the fair weather.

If pain is all that’s left behind,
Why love at all the fairer kind?



* Written as rhyming couplets in tetrameter.

* Translated from the original Hindi ghazal given below.

**********************************


किसे बतलाऊं कि बरबाद जीवन का सबब क्या है


किसे बतलाऊं कि बरबाद जीवन का सबब क्या है
नहीं जब दिल ही सीने में कहूं मैं दिल में अब क्या है

बड़े हम शाद फिरते थे उन्हें पाया किये जब हम
बयां कैसे करें कि असलियत शीरीं-ए-लब क्या है

बहुत हैं दूर अब पहले सदा पहलू में रहते थे
भला कोई बताये इश्क करने का ये ढब क्या है

कसम और वायदे ये ज़िंदगी भर साथ रहने के
सभी बेकार हैं झूठा भला ये शोर सब क्या है

अग़र रुसवाइयां ही हैं ख़लिश किस्मत में आशिक की
ज़रूरत इश्क करने की बताये कोई तब क्या है.
