khalipan

Aaj hawa khaamosh guzri
Koi paigham na tha uske daaman mein
Koi aahat nahi, bas sannata hai
Rooh ke kone kone mein.

Azal se tha jiska intezaar
Woh ajnabee bane baitha hai mehfil mein.
Un tak meri aah bhi na pohonchi
yeh kaisi doori hai dilon mein.

haathon mein paimana liye hain woh
Aur do boond aasoo bhi nahi hamari naseeb mein.

In english it means:

Today the wind passed by quiet
It did not carry any message for me.
There was silence and stillness
In every corner of my soul

The one I have been waiting for since eternity
Is being just a stranger in the gathering
He cannot even hear my sigh
Why is there such distance between hearts

He sits holding his glass of wine
And I am not destined to even two drops of tears.

:-) Thats the best I could do

har lavz mein ek dard ka ehsaas hai aur gunz raha hai charo aur...yehi hamara naseeb hai, jise hum chahte hai use pate nahin, aur juse hum pate hai use ham chahte nahin....lovely words full of emotions. Every word really touches our heart...Well written!
