In life’s errands,
questions
raise hands,
answers give a miss,
What’s the
gain
answers are pain
ignorance is bliss.
सवाल
मेरा
पता
ढूंढ़ लेते
हैं
पर,
जवाबों का शहर मालूम नहीं,
ज़वाबों की खबर ना ही मिले तो अच्छा ,
बेखबर नहीं तो सुकून नहीं।

Deleteदुनिया में जिधर देखो हजारो रस्ते दीखते
ReplyDeleteमंजिल जिनसे मिल जाए बो रस्ते नहीं मिलते

मिलते हाथ सबसे है दिल से दिल नहीं मिलते

Thanks Deepak for these amazing words! I always thought of writing my Hindi verses in English but was not sure if I can do justice to it. So this was a small attempt. This encouragement means a lot!
