Chhoti si zindagi.. maut kitni lambi?! 💔

Jo baat kahi na gai ho, usse badi koi kahani nahi..

Jo humsafar saathh na raha ho, uske safar se badi koi zindagi nahi…

Jo sirf do lamhe khushi dekh paya ho, uski pyaas se badi koi deewangi nahi..

Jo zakhm nazar na aaya ho, uski gehrai se badi koi nishani nahi…

Jinke kabhi darshan nahi huay, unse bade koi Bhagwan nahi..

Jin cheekhon ki awaaz na aye, usse bada koi toofan nahi…

Jin aansuon se sapne mitjaayen, unse badi koi aag nahi…

Jin saanson ki wajeh na mil paye, usse badi koi maut nahi..

Jis Ma ki god khali hojaye, usse zyada bhara koi samunder nahi..

Jis bache ki Ma na rahe, uski tadapti pukar se lambi kisiki umr nahi..

An attempt at translation of the above:

Life’s so short.. Why is death so long?!…

No story’s longer than that of unspoken words..

No life’s longer than that of a person who’s lost his life partner..

No thirst’s bigger than that of a person who has experienced happiness for just a couple moments..

No wound has a deeper scar than that of the one that can’t be seen..

No God’s bigger than the one who’s invisible..

No storm’s louder than the one where the screams can’t be heard..

No fire’s more widespread than the one where dreams get washed away with tears..

No death’s bigger than the one where to breathe there’s no more a reason..

No ocean’s fuller than the empty lap of a mother who has lost her child..

No holler lasts as long as the one of an orphaned child calling out for his mother..
