Writing on the breeze!!! हवाओं के नाम


शाख पर जब धूप आई, हाथ छूने के लिए

छांव छम्म से नीचे कूदी, हंस के बोली, "आईये!!!"

यहाँ सुबह से खेला करती है शाम

हवाओं पे लिख दो हवाओं के नाम

हम अनजान परदेसियों का सलाम ।

The sunlight extends its hand

To shake with that of the shadow

Perching on the bough

When the latter offers

And by making space for it

By jumping to the ground

Saying as if "You're Welcome!"

This is the way the sporty

Mornings and evenings play their game

In this land where

Even a wanderer could write

His salutation on the breeze

Being stranger though.

This is transcreation ! I love this song and its lyrics. You have done full justice to the original. If you go on like this, you'll make me an FB addict.
