To this photo ,i add a mini poem "Me Koyee Jazeera Nahin ' or " I am not an Island " that i wrote today...

( Me Koyee Jazeera Nahin ) 

Khwaab to khwaab Thhay 

Palkon Mein Samaaye Hotay 

Tum Na aaye to chalo

Khwaab Hi Aaye Hotay..

Khwaab Bhi Rooth Gaye 

Jo Hamaare Thhay 

Hum se Chhoot Gaye..

Ab To Buss Dhoop Hai Rastaa

hai aur safar apnaa ..

Manzilon Ki to ab Talab hi Nahin..

Na Koyee Dost Na Ahbaab Na karam-farmaa 

Ek samandhar Hai aur akela huun

Saathiyon Me Koyee Jazeera Nahin

Iss Samandhar Mein Jee Nahin Saktaa 

Pyaas se mar Mitoon Voh Behtar Hai 

Khaara Paani Me Pee Nahin Saktaa...

( Autar Mota )

My simple English rendering would be ..

( I am not an Island )

Dreams are just Dreams ,

These should have visited  my  eyes .

If You didn’t come ,

Dreams could have  come  at least  .

 Now, Dreams too have moved  away ,

Away have moved my own kinsmen ,

My companions ;

The sun ,

The path

And the Journey.

Dried up is the desire  to hit Goals .

No friends,

No well wishers  

And no Benevolence from Any quarter .

 As if ,

Lonely and lost I am  in an  sea ,

 Friends    ! I am not an island ,

I can’t  survive in this ocean .

 Better  fade away   in thirst   than

 Gulp this saline Water all around..
