I stand at the head end of the patient,
a speechless witness to the kind cruelty...
Mom tells me to finish my homework quickly,
When I ask why?, she tells me...
Majrooh Sultanpuri (Kabhi haan Kabhi naa)
Translated by Dr. Sandeep Kumar Kar...
The symphony is lost,
so are my thoughts...
The clock struck twelve,
the midnight started swinging...
Shine, Oh! Street, in the rain of white light.
Oh! Highway man, shine in the luminescent light...
The stillness of the floral profusion,
in the land of imagination...
As the falling rain,
prepares the earth, for the future crops...
The fragrant peace is difficult to achieve,
The gong of time clicks...
Pebbles scattered on the ground
amidst the greenery around...
With blurred hopes and blunt dreams,
not with melancholy within...
Envy reigns supreme in my mind,
when I see those birds relishing on fruits...
