ROZ EK SHER

वो दिल की ताज़गी थी ये दिल की अफ़सुर्दगी
बाग़े-जहां में ख़िज़ाँ क्या बहार क्या

vo dil kii taazagii thii ye dil kii afsurdagii
baaghe-jahaan mein khizaan kyaa bahaar kyaa


One is freshness of the heart, one its staleness
In the garden of life, autumn and spring are alike

Sher contributed by Vijayalaxmi Modi
