दुनिया को

You – oblivious of facts – cold
worlds know secrets untold

You – known as a perpetrator
How do I call the world a killer?

You – won’t cast a benevolent glance
Winning the world is a hollow dance

You- ask about my solitude
Tell me who comes to meet you

Guilt of failure in love overruns
I recall being seen as competent once

Original Hindi piece below…

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

एक तुम हो जिसे अब तक नहीं ख़बर
ज़ाहिर है हमारा राज़-ए-दिल दुनिया को ।१।

सबको पता है किसने किया हलाक़ हमें
क्योंकर कहूँ मैं क़ातिल दुनिया को ।२।

नहीं हुई हम पर तेरी नज़र-ए-करम
क्या पाया जो किया हासिल दुनिया को ।३।

पूछते थे मुझे अकेले क्यों रहते हो
मिलना तेरा हुआ मुश्किल दुनिया को ।४।

हुआ जुर्म कि इश्क़ में नाकाम हुए अमित
लगते थे कभी हम भी क़ाबिल दुनिया को ।५।

1.

I
hear your
silent scream
echoing in
the chambers of my achy breaky heart.

2.

Honestly, this open secret is not being very well kept.

3.

french fries and mayo
disgustingly delicious
oddball food combo

4.

serendipitous
our destinies have crossed paths
awfully lucky

5.

Unbiased opinions do not actually exist.

Concert of Life

“When the music reaches a crescendo, start firing and your job is done.” “Pleasure will be replaced by horror.” “Music keeps changing in the concert of life.

He was just looking for potential customers in the audience.” “But you’ve spent time, and a tidy amount on travel, lunch with your team and the books you bought there.” “It was a waste, but the onslaught of emails kept saying Claim your free … Continue reading Whose business is it?

Black is Beautiful

"Captivating image!" A few splashes of black and my imagination changed the scenario. A choppy sea and gathering clouds spelt doom earlier. Hmmm.. Is there a boatman somewhere? https://only100words.xyz/2020/02/20/three-line-tales-week-212/

Her pulse is feeble, and probably she is losing her hearing power. A voice seems to come from afar, but emanates from a white … Continue reading Diluted
