[COLOR=Purple]Unhien kiya maloom main ne mausamoon ko badaltey dekha hai
Unhein kiya maloom main ne logon ko rasta badaltey dekha hai
Unhein kiya maloom main ne Rangoon ko berang hotey dekha hai
Log kehtey hain ke udas kuun rehtey ho

Unhein kiya maloom main ne bahar ke Rangoon per khizan ki chadar dekhi hai
Unhein kiya maloom main ne darakhtoon ke patoon ko girtey dekha hai
Unhein kiya maloom main ne un patoon per kisi ke palat’tey qadmoon ki chap suni hai
Log kehtey hain ke udas kuun rehtey ho

Kiya maloom unhein main ne phoolon ko murjhatey dekha hai
Unhein kiya maloom main ne khushbhu ko hawa main gum hotey dekha hai
Unhein kiya maloom main ne dil ke sahil per
kisi ke qadmoon ke nishan mit’tey dekhey hain
phir bhi log kehtey hain udas kuun rehtey ho
kiya maloom unhein main ne kiya kia dekha hai[/COLOR]

My Life and its Three Faces


I am three and my life has three faces
Friendship, love and livelihood
My life and its three faces
Among my friends are those
With whom throbs my soul
And some others who night and day share my plates and my bites
But still are my mortal enemies!
Friendship with enemies, enmity with friends
My friendship and its faces

Love with one beloved and many others
Among them are those
With whom throbs my soul
And some others who are the fragrance in my air, the light by my side
But still are my mortal enemies!
Some among them caterers of my food, of monetary beneficence
Love has some fire, some amusement, some "vengeance"
My love and its three faces!

Livelihood is the drudgery for morsels of bread
Sometimes this drudgery becomes the code of my life
And at times, forgetting the ties of the heart and soul
Becomes the very goal of my life
The desire for bread and its faces
I am three and my life has three faces
