ROZ EK SHER

आपको जाते न देखा जायेगा
शमा को पहले बुझाते जाईये
-खुमार बाराबंकवी

aapko jaate na dekhaa jaayegaa
shamaa ko pahle bujhaate jaaiiye

--Khumar Barabankavi


I can't bear to see you leave
Blow out the bedside candle before you go

ROZ EK SHER [On Politicians]

सियासत की अपनी अलग इक ज़बां है
लिखा हो जो इक़रार, इनकार पढ़ना
-अज्ञात

siyaasat ki apni alag ik zabaan hai
likha ho jo iqraar, inkaar padhnaa

Politics has its own unique language
Read "no" when they say "yes"
