The girl sways like a ballet dancer and throws a kiss in the air. Another figure inches closer, but is pushed down by that monster in an undefinable shape. The monster looks dense, as evil is difficult to decipher. The plant shivers in fright, till the pot falls with a thud on the ground. Actually, … Continue reading Screens

तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ के पहरे

Teri Zulf ke Pehre – by hecblogger (Amit Agrawal)

English translation in Comments section ….

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

कह दिया तुमने कि आज़ाद हो तुम
तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ के पहरे जब भाने लगे हैं ।१।

बेदर्द सा चाँद निकला है फ़लक पे
क्या जाने तुझे भूलने में ज़माने लगे हैं ।२।

फ़िर दिल धड़का, फ़िर साँस ली हमने
क्या तेरा फ़साना हम दोहराने लगे हैं ।३।

चुराया दिल मेरा, फिर नींद और चैन

है वक़्त-ए-रुख़सत, बता दो उन्हें अमित
मना लेना जश्न, हम बस जाने लगे हैं ।५।

But she will get him, only if she unwraps the right one in the first attempt. Are the other ones empty, or is there a surprise hidden … Continue reading Gen Z
