Poem I
Chand se chamakti leheron ko chukar
After touching the waves that sparkle with moonlight,
Jo hawa ka jhonka aaya hai
The breeze that has come,
Kitna sheetal hain.
How cool it is.
Naram pankdhudion ko chedti hui
Teasing the gentle petals [on their way],
Jo boondh tapki hain
Those drops that have trickled down,
Kitni nirmal hain.
How pure they are
Tumhare mann se, tumhari khushboo se mehekta
From your heart, fragrant with your scent,
Jo khayal aaya hain
The notion that has come
Kitna madhosh hain.
How intoxicated it is.
Aur mujhe chookar
And touching me,
Tum tak jo sawal pahuncha hain
The question that reaches you,
Vo kitna pyaasa hain.
How thirsty it is.
Kya yahi pyar hain?
Is this love?
Ya ab bhi kisi paribhasha ki avashakta hain?
Or is there still need of a definition?
Poem II
Phir aarzoo-on ne dil ke kiwad khat khataye hain
Once again desires have knocked on the heart's shutters,
Phir aaj itne pyar se tumne dekha hain mujhe.
Once again today, you looked at me with so much love.
Akash se jo vo os ki boondhen tapki.
When those dewdrops trickled down from the sky,
Tumhare yaad ke baadal lipatgaye mujhse.
The clouds of your memories wrapped around me.
Andheron ke jhurmut pe jab kabhi mann duba
Whenever my heart drowned in the engulfment of darkness,
Tumhare chehre ke ujjale lipatgaye mujhse
The light of your face wrapped around me.
