ROZ EK SHER

हर एक पेड़ से साये की आरज़ू न करो
जो धूप में नहीं रहते वो छाँव क्या देंगे
-कृष्ण बिहारी नूर

har ek ped se saaye kii aarzuu na karo
jo dhuup mein nahiin rahte vo chhaanv kyaa denge
-Krishna Bihari Nur

Do not expect each tree to give shade
For a tree that does not bear the heat of the Sun
cannot cast a cooling shade
