Jogi ka ghar kitna tanhaa hai
Miil ka pathar kitna tanhaa hai
Chalta hai koii saath mere
Dil magar kitna tanhaa hai
Tanhaa aataa hai, jaataa hai
Ye bashar kitna tanhaa hai
Jivan chakra hote hai.n poore
Par safar kitnaa tanhaa hai
Kishtiyo.n ka maksad saahil hai
Ye bahar kitna tanhaa hai
Umra bhar band rahe seep mei.n
Khwab-e-guhar kitna tanhaa hai
*** *** *** *** *** *** ***
How lonely is the wanderer's home
How lonesome is the milestone
Someone walks by my side, but
The heart stands on its own
How lonely is the human being
He comes alone and goes alone
The cycles of life get over
But the journey is oh! so lone
The boats' destiny is the shore
Ocean's heart embraces cyclone
Enclosed in a shell for a lifetime
A pearl's dream remains unknown
Miil ka pathar kitna tanhaa hai
Chalta hai koii saath mere
Dil magar kitna tanhaa hai
Tanhaa aataa hai, jaataa hai
Ye bashar kitna tanhaa hai
Jivan chakra hote hai.n poore
Par safar kitnaa tanhaa hai
Kishtiyo.n ka maksad saahil hai
Ye bahar kitna tanhaa hai
Umra bhar band rahe seep mei.n
Khwab-e-guhar kitna tanhaa hai

beautiful poem.. you wrote it? kudos...
And btw you have been tagged. Please do the needful :)
- You wrote this - Right !!
- My fav line , chalta hai koii saath mere, dil magar kitna tanhaa hai....oopfh...how true....just like Bheed mein tanha....sath hain magar juda....Khambakht yeh dil mange more...:-)
- Somehow 4th one...can we also have some urdu word there.."jeevan chakra " is too pure a word in hindi...infact its funny I like the english version of same para.
- Lastly ( n don't punch me...lol) sab kheriyat to hain...!!
@Prashanth: Yes, I did write it. Thanks :-))
Btw, unless explicitly mentioned, the poetry I post here is my own :-)
@BTR: First and foremost, sab kushal mangal hai :-))
"Saath hain magar judaa" ... hmmm ... yes, something like that :-)
Regarding the 4th one - yes, "jeevan chakra" is too pure a hindi word to be present in a ghazal. Actually I first wrote something like "Daur guzarte jaate hain", but felt that did not convey my intention. I couldn't find another suitable word in urdu, so I resorted to "jivan chakra" ... taking inspiration from the great Dushyant Kumar :-))
@Prashanth: Thanks for tagging me. I'll attend to it as soon as time or thoughts permit :-))
Very good, Sigma!Kya Baat hai!
Won't say much since Bendtherulz has said exactly what I wanted to say. Just want to add that the thought behind 'jeevan chakra' makes it my fav sher in the Ghazal!
Beautiful :-)
@LeziB: Thanks :-) My own favorite is the first one :-)
@Ash: Thank you for encouragement :-))
Tasavvur thoda kamzor hai baharhaal, andaaz e bayaan bahut hi sada aur zahan me utarne wala hai.
Ummeed hai aap aur likkhen.

@Rachel: Welcome to my blog, and thanks for your kind words.
Hmmm beautiful lines. Now I think I'll appoint you my official translator for all my future poems. ;)
SO many posts in last one month.
You were really idling kya ?
@Cuckoo: Shhhhh! Dont tell my manager ....
Not really idling, actually I am quite loaded with work - so many things to do that I cant decide which one to do :-) So I blog instead :-))
Lol!!
Jokes apart, things happened that inspired me to write something or other in this space. So there.
I am happy you liked it. And I am honored at the new appointment :-D
LOlllll
you are nuts like me. :P
Lol! Cuckoo, this is what I have been telling you ... we are alike :-))
