अधूरी दास्ताँ
ये लफ्ज़ अधूरे पर बातें पूरी है,
दो जिस्मों में जैसे तिनका भर दूरी है,
ये फ़ासिले न तय होंगे कभी,
क्योंकि हर दास्ताँ -ए- मोहब्बत अधूरी है !
उसके दफ़्न होते ही,
शुरू होगा इक और सफ़र,
तन्हाई मिटाने के लिए उसकी,
हो जाऊँगी मैं भी दफ़्न !
क्योंकि रूमानी रिश्तों में तो अल्लाह की भी मंजूरी है,
पर जाने क्यों हर दास्ताँ -ए- मोहब्बत अधूरी है !
वो छोड़ दे पहले की तरह,
या लगा ले गले,
उसके मुताबिक़ मेरी हर साँस चले !
हमारे मिलन में अभी सदियों की दूरी है,
मेरी दास्ताँ -ए- मोहब्बत अधूरी है !
~ सरू सिंघल ~
वो छोड़ दे पहले की तरह,
ReplyDeleteया लगा ले गले,
उसके मुताबिक़ मेरी हर साँस चले !
हमारे मिलन में अभी सदियों की दूरी है,
These lines brought tears in my eyes.. Through your writing how well u bring out the true feelings and blow away the dust fallen on some part of the heart which was untouched since so many days Saru.. So touching...

ReplyDeleteI don't like the sound of it. I don't wish to go through the emotions portrayed in this poem...
DeleteAmazing Saru...I bow to you once again :)
ReplyDelete*Blush*
Delete*Speechless*
*Blush*
you beauty! the last lines are just beautiful...
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
DeleteWish I could read this.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed the translation by Umashankar...:)
DeleteAapki kavitayein humare dil ko chhun jati hai. Excellent!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet of you, Ria:) <3
DeleteSaru, you can point LadyFi, to following approximate translation of your poem above:
ReplyDeleteWords have failed but not the strain
The sea between us can be covered by a grain.
These miles will remain untraveled
As all love stories wane.
The day love is buried
I’ll set forth like a slave
To fill the deep solitude
I’ll lie next to your grave.
If cravings of souls are God’s own pain
How come all the love stories wane?
He may move away as was his wont
Or come, embrace me with a thudding heart
My breaths flow as his wishes train
Eons loom ere we meet again
The song of my love is but half in refrain.
Awesome translation. Normally translation loses the essence but this one is just perfect. I enjoyed reading both- Saru's creation and this translation. Great job both of you.
DeleteWow.. that was indeed a brilliant translation. :)
DeleteOH WOW! Saru stimulates the best in us! Uma ji! BHAUT KHOOB! :)
DeleteSuperb Pandey ji...beautiful!
Deletewow...I mean just wow...
DeleteSaru, you must include this translation as a part of the main post.
Brilliantly done! hats off
Lovely translation Umashankar! Beautiful!
Deleteloved your translation more than the original one !!!!!
DeleteAwesome tarnslation umashankarji....hats off
DeleteWow! This is the real essence of blogging, really commendable! Kudos!
Delete@umashankar- I wish I have written the translated part. It is beautiful beyond words. Original seems to be copied in front of it...Thank you for writing a brilliant piece here:)
Delete@Shaifali- I agree with the translation part, Shaifali. Thanks for reading!
@Raj- I agree :)
@Akila- You are always generous with your comments dear. :):):)
@Mithlash- :)
@prateek mathur- I wish I could but I have to ask for permission...:)
@Upasana- :)
@Dr Mandeep Khanuja- I would say the same...:)
@Dr.Shaizi- Seriously, hats off to him!
@Arti- Isn't blogging wonderful!!!
Every poem of yours leaves me speechless. This one is no less than a masterpiece. Truly every word of yours is so soul-stirring.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much and again I would say - It feels great to be appreciated by someone who writes as good as you do...:)
Deletekya baat ..kya baat ... kya baat !
ReplyDelete:) :) :)
Deleteand madam! aapka toh mein kya boloon! bas shukriyaada karna chahti hoon ki aap hamaare zindagi mein aaye :)
ReplyDeleteI want to say the same to you:) Thank you, Akila:)
DeleteHi Saru..:) After translating your poem at google,I felt sad and it turned my eyes to tear..hmmm... I hope you're just fine..:) Thanks alot.. This is wonderful poem..:) Keep shairng..:)
ReplyDeleteI am fine and thanks for the concern dear:)
DeleteDone it again:) Yes Saru, your Hindi writing is getting better and better, great stuff....and Umashankar Pandey's attempt is stunning too. Translations require much more skill than people generally realise which makes the try (successful)all the more gutsy....
ReplyDeleteThank you Sir and I agree with you on the translation part. It is indeed a beautiful translation...:)
DeleteLooking back at the way things have shaped up, I can tell you,sadly- you are right. True love is never complete. There are no happily-ever-afters. But that does not make it any less beautiful while it lasts :) Journey itself is the destination ! Loved the idea behind your lines and lines...well, you rock at that already :)
ReplyDeleteLove is a beautiful feeling whether it is complete or not. However, painful days sound a bit longer...Thanks for writing the last line. :) :) :)
DeleteWhether every story is complete or not is highly debatable and I don't think we will ever get an answer. A lot depends on one's definition of "complete". What you have presented is one side of it; the bigger picture and the more practical one. But a love story could just be as good as complete in the moments that add up to the eventual incompleteness. It's not the completion, but the feeling of fulfillment or the lack of it, is what that matters.
ReplyDeleteWow, I guess my comment was longer than your poem :)...that's the kind of emotion you have evoked...beautiful is an incomplete word for this :)
Following part of your comment is beautiful. And, I agree with you on this completely.
Delete"But a love story could just be as good as complete in the moments that add up to the eventual incompleteness. It's not the completion, but the feeling of fulfillment or the lack of it, is what that matters."
You know, bloggers love long comments. I am thankful to you for writing your heart and sharing those lovely lines. :)
So don't be surprised if u see the exact lines in any of my upcoming post :)
DeleteI will be looking forward to that post. :)
DeleteVery soulful song.. You rock!. The translation is great too... Most of the stories of our lives are incomplete sigh!
ReplyDeleteSigh! For all the incomplete stories of our lives!
DeleteBut
Cheers to the spirit called life!!!
Reminds me of 'mein pal do pal ka shayar hun' and I can actually Imagine Amitabh singing these lines. Truly beautiful. As said before, I love the Hindi versions more.

Deleteये लफ्ज़ अधूरे पर बातें पूरी है,
ReplyDeleteदो जिस्मों में जैसे तिनका भर दूरी है,
ये फ़ासिले न तय होंगे कभी,

Thank you so much Shashi...Your comment means a lot to me...:)
Deleteमै एक आशावादी इंसान हु, और समझता हु कि अधूरी दास्ताँ भले ही हमारा दिल दुखा दे, लेकिन इन्ही अधूरी दास्ताओं को पूरा करने की उम्मीद हमें कभी कभी जीने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करती है.
ReplyDeleteहलाकि मुझे यह कहना नहीं चाहिए, क्युकी कमेंट्स से ही पता चल रहा है कि आपके इस ऊंदा काव्य ने काफी लोगो के दिलो को छु लिया है. आपके अगली कविता कि राह देख रहा हु :))
Rightly said Nimish. Even I am optimistic and I feel every fall teaches you to be better in life.
DeleteAnd, your hindi is amazing...:)
Wonderfully written peom dear:) Love to read your peom"s I am following your Blog, do visit too:)Blog.spicenflavors.com
