moonrise


chaand

(dhundh ki) apni rajai mein simte
us chaand ko
haule se chooma maine
aaj ki raat
ye chaand bhi
surkh-haya roshan hua hai


a feeble attempt at translation...
moon

snuggled up in own blanket (of fog)
i kissed,
that moon tenderly
tonight
this moon has
shined with a blushed-shyness

Haya uske naam ki ya haya uske pyaar ki, simti hui yadon me guzre raat khumaar ki, mohabbat ne chaand ko
samet liya baahon me, chum k har aansu mitayi har ghadi intzaar ki...
