DHOOP KINAARA  OR SUNLIGHT'S   RIM  ... DAL LAKE OF SRINAGAR , KASHMIR

I am adding  the A popular Poem of Faiz ahmed Faiz  to this photograph of mine....

Yeh dhoop kinara, shaam dhalay

Miltay  hain dono  waqt jahaan

jo raat na din,

jo aaj na kal

pal bhar ko amar,

 pal bhar mein dhuaan

iss dhoop kinare, pal do pal

honton ki lapak

baahon ki chhanak

ye mail hamaara jhoot na sach

kyon raaz karo, kyon dosh dharo

kis kaaran jhooti baat karo

jab teri samandar aankhon mein

iss shaam ka sooraj doobega

sukh so’engay  ghar dar walay

Aur raahi apni raah legaa………………………

( Faiz Ahmed Faiz )

My simple English version of this great poem  goes as under

This sunlight’s rim ,

This evening’s descend,

Where two moments convene  .

 This time , Neither day nor  night ,

Neither  present  nor the  future ,

A moment, everlastingly,

And  a moment, disappearing .

 And in this  sunlight’s rim,

For a few moments,

Our Leaping lips  ,

Our gripping  arms ,

Our  intimacy  at the moment ,

Neither true nor false .

Then  why this secrecy,

And  why blame somebody

And why utter a word of falsehood ,

 And  When in your ocean eyes,

This evening’s sun will lay down itself ,

The settled ones shall sleep peacefully ,

while  this  traveler shall move away  on his  path……..
