Dil mein ek lehar si utthi hai

"These waves" by Neha

(watercolor , gouache and ink; contemporary madhubani)

Dil mein ek lehar si utthi hai abhi

A wave is rising in my heart this moment

Koi taaza hawa chali hai abhi

A fresh breeze is flowing this moment
Dil mein ek laher si utthi hai abhi

shor barpa hai khana-e-dil mein

There is sound of a new beat in the heart
koi deewar si giri hai abhi

A wall has fallen this moment
koi taza hawa chali hai abhi

A fresh breeze is flowing this moment
Dil mein ek laher si utthi hai abhi

kuchh to nazuk mizaaj hain hum bhi

I have a bit delicate nature also
aur ye chote bhi nayi hai abhi

And then this bruise is new
koi taza hawa chali hai abhi
Dil mein ek laher si utthi hai abhi

yaad ke be-nishaan jazeeron se(2)

From my memories
teri awaaz aa rahi hai abhi(2)

Your voice is coming this moment
koi taza hawa chali hai abhi

A fresh breeze is flowing this moment
Dil mein ek laher si utthi hai abhi

A wave is rising in my heart this moment

shehar ki be-charaagh galiyon mein(3)

in the light-less roads of the city
zindagi tujh ko dhoondti hai abhi

life looks for you this moment
koi taza hawa chali hai abhi
Dil mein ek laher si utthi hai abhi

so gaye log us haveli ke

people of that house have slept

ek khidkee magar khulee hai abhi

but one window is still open

koi taza hawa clahee hai abhi

dil mein ek lehar see uthi hai abhi

waqt accha bhi aaye ga

good time will also come

gham na kar zindagi pari hai abhi

don't lose a moment being sad, the whole life is ahead
