ये इल्तिज़ा है तुमसे, हमें याद तुम न करना

और हम भूल जाएँ तुमको, ये भी दुआ न करना

 

है नहीं मोहब्बत हमसे, ये इल्म तो हमें है

पर अक्स आईने में कभी तुम न ढूँढा करना

 

हुस्न-ओ-जमाल-ए-दिल से वाक़िफ हैं हम तुम्हारे

कोई और हो वाबस्ता, ये उम्मीद तुम न करना

 

वफ़ा की कोई कस्मे तो तुम निभा न पाए

बस कस्म-ए -बेवफ़ाई से कुछ तो वफ़ा करना

English Translation: Fidelity

 

Do not remember me, is all I request you

And also do not pray that I forget you too

 

I know, I’m aware, that you do not love me

So don’t search your reflection, when mirror faces you

 

I am well acquainted my dear, with the beauty of your heart

But don’t expect all other relations, to value your heart too

 

The promises of our fondest love, I know you couldn’t keep

But I hope all promises of deceit, with love you will pursue

  1. Peter's pondering

    I always think that Hindi script is a form of poetry in itself. It looks so beautiful, even though I have no understanding of the language.

      Oh really? I used to feel the same for Urdu script till I learned it 🙂 Thank you so much for your words Peter. Really appreciate stopping by despite the fact that you understand Hindi. Loads of Love to you.
