ROZ EK SHER

मेरी और उसकी निगाहों का तसादुम कुछ न पूछ
बेख़ुदी में आईने से आईना टकरा गया
-अदम

merii aur uskii nigaahon kaa tasaadum kuchh na puuchh
bekhudii mein aaiine se aaiinaa takraa gayaa
-Adam

Do not ask what happened when our eyes met
I saw myself in her eyes and she saw herself in mine
Almost as if we had both been looking at mirrors
And unawares, the two mirrors glanced at each other
