"waala" poems
Meri ankahi amaanat, meri eklauti ibaadat,
Meri jarurat, tu hi to hai meri zindagi,
Jakhmo ka marham, mera naadaan bachpan,
Meri hasi, tu hi to hai meri amaadgi.
Meri pahli ummid, mera akhiri kadam,
Meri parchhai, tu hi to hai meri baarish,
Har sawaal ka jawaab, mera har khwaab,
Meri neend, tu hi to hai meri khwahish.
Tu hi to hai jiske liye
Main bejaan ab saanse leta hoon,
Rukhi zindagi ki jameen mein
Tere hi to waqt ke beej bota hoon.
Tu hi to hai jiske liye
Duniya mein apni baat rakhta hoon,
Begairat duniya ki baaraat mein
Khushiyo ki sougaat rakhta hoon.
En bejaar chaar deewaaro ko
Tu hi to hai jo ghar banaati hai,
Tu hi to hai mera aaj, aane waala kal
Tu hi to meri jeewan saathi hai.

Hindi Original:
Ab Aankhon Mein Neend Kahaan?
Wo to bachpan tha jab so jaate the,
Ab to jaane kaisi fikr sataati hai.
Wo to bachpan tha jab kha paate the,
Ab to motaape ki fikr sataati hai.
Wo to bachpan tha jab khwaab sajaate the,
Ab to saari duniya berang lagti hai.
Wo to bachpan tha jab sab apne the,
Ab to duniya dushman nazar aati hai.
Wo to bachpan tha jab khush raha karte the,
Ab to barson puraana duhkh sataata hai...
Wo to bachpan tha jab bhavishya ki chinta na thi,
Ab to beete ateet ka kabhi na khatm hone waala khed hai...
Here's the translation:
Where Has The Sleep Gone From My Eyes?
That was childhood, when I could sleep,
Now, worries keep me awake.
That was childhood, when I could eat,
Now, fears of weight gain haunt me.
That was childhood, when I'd weave dreams,
Now, the whole world seems colorless.
That was childhood, when everyone was my own,
Now, the world seems like an enemy.
That was childhood, when I was always happy,
Now, decades of sorrow haunt me...
That was childhood, when I didn't worry about the future,
Now, the unending sorrow of the past haunts me...

Yahan mujhe koi kaam nahi,
Subha na utne par koi daat bi nahi,
Phone dekh ne par koi rukaawat nahi,
Khana khane mein koi sharing nahi,
Par phir bhi ghar ki bohot yaad aati hai,
Kyuki yaha koi pyaar karne waala hi nahi,
Daat kar phir pyar se gale lagane wala hi nahi,
Hak jataane wala nahi, ladai karne waala nahi,
Ye toh mera ghar hi nahi......
