Umeed! (Hindi version)
Kuch lamhe
tute se
Kuch ashk chhalke
se
Yado ke
bikhre moti
Ya pedo ke
sukhe bikhre patte
Jhumte se
Girte hue
Jaise nachte
ho
Jhokon pe
hawao ke
Dilati ehsas
ho
Yun kuch
tuta sa
Kuch bandha
sa
Aaj bhi
Hai, aur ek
ummeed
Sametne ko
inhe
Banane ko ek
gharaunda
Agli barsat
me
Murjhaye ped
ki chhaw tale.
~ Praveen Parasar
Hope! (English version)
Smiling
broken moments, or
Tears in
eyes, reverberating
Shattered
pearls of memories
Leftover
dried leafs
Falling
slowly
Or dancing
with breeze
Evoking
emotions
On a barren
ground
Of unknown,
unsaid
Moments
That never
dries, but
Awaits rain
For it will
make
a castle, again
a castle, again
Out of those
scattered leafs
Below that
tree, dying slowly.
~ Praveen Parasar
