[The memories of the departed. A bilingual poem.]


It is true, always your thought
Has in my eye a tear brought.

In moments of solitude
Your sad memories intrude.

In the day feelings are shy
But in the night heart does cry.

Whenever I am alone
Tunes of the past make me moan.

An image illusory
Torments and captivates me.

Though I am in depression,
My heart is full of passion.

Khalish, the parted don’t meet
Again in this mortal street.

THE ORIGINAL HINDI POEM DATED 15 February 2009:

२०८६. दिल में जब भी याद आती है

दिल में जब भी याद आती है
आँखों को नम कर जाती है

तनहाई ग़र मिल जाए तो
अश्कों को और बहाती है

दिन तो कट जाता है मुझको
ये सारी रात सताती है

न पास कोई जब होता है
भूली सी तान सुनाती है

सूरत है कोई धुँधली सी
बहलाती है, तड़पाती है

यूँ तो ये दिल आवारा है
फिर भी कितना जज़्बाती है

आते न ख़लिश जाने वाले
इक शय मुझको समझाती है.

महेश चन्द्र गुप्त ख़लिश
