क्यों तुम इतना ?
Today, while going for morning walk, slight drizzle surprised me and these were the lines that instantly came to my mind. Man,,, I just love that moment.
आज बिन मौसम बरखा की फुहार
जब पड़ी मेरे चेहरे पर
बनकर तुम्हारा प्यार |
और चूमा मेरे गालों को,
मेरे होठों, मेरी पलकों को
तुम ही तुम थे, और कुछ नहीं |
क्यों इस तरह छूकर जाते हो
क्यों सताते हो,
क्यों तुम इतना याद आते हो ?
Attempted Translation:
Today when your love came
as an unexpected sprinkle
And kissed my cheeks, lips,
eyes and nape
it was just you and nothing else.
Why do you go away like this
touching me, teasing me
leaving me to yearn more?

Ever tried 2 see the skies when its drizzling with ur arms open? Try that next time!
Aaoge jab tum oh saajana, angana phool khilenge…
Barsega saawan jhoom jhoom ke, do dil aise milenge!

Waoww.. I guess it was the Morning Sunshine which kissed you and suddenly the cloud has taken it away.
But you know when it will come out in mid day, He will not get you as you will have a lovely umbrella to take care of you.
Hope you understand what I mean to say, so enjoy Cuckoo and cheers.
Pijush said,
November 2, 2007 @ 12:03 pm

Mayank,
Thank you very much. Seeing you after long time.
Ash,
Shukriya.
Peter,
Yes, my own translation but translations are never the same. They just give an idea of the topic.
Ha Ha.. Tiger?? No, I was alone. It will be a problem for others if he comes along.
Beast,
Thank you. Could you read the Hindi poem or just read the translation ? Or should I send you the Hinglish version ? Hindi written in English ?
Lolz.. don’t try to find any meaning in it.
Jeevan,
Welcome again !! You’ve come after a very long time. Happy to see you here.
Thank you for liking it. But I must say my feeble translation doesn’t do justice to the original.
Keep coming.
Cuckoo said,
November 2, 2007 @ 6:48 pm
Priyank,
Don’t tell me you needed translation ?? Can’t you read Hindi ? I am surprised.
Neeraja,
Yup !! It was.
NM,
Were you able to read it now ? I think you need to install Hindi fonts like Susha on your machine.
Sam,
Thank you. And you have written beautiful lines !!
Loved them.
Amey,
No, I don’t think so. Some questions are never answered.
Yes, morning walk.
Cuckoo said,
November 2, 2007 @ 6:56 pm
Sunshine,
Thank you. Yes, it is very romantic.
That’s a beautiful ghazal.
Iceman,
Yup !!
Oh so you too have become nostalgic ??
Lovely lines they are. And your Hindi is very good.
Madhavi,
Thank you. I am blushing now. *blush blush*
BTR,
Yes, November ki pehli Fuhaar. Thank you for liking it and yeah, some questions are never answered.
Cuckoo said,
November 2, 2007 @ 7:56 pm
Rajat,
Thank you.
Pijush,
Another perspective ?? Nice one.
Thank you for liking it. Sometimes the words just flow out within moments.
Ranjeet,
Yeah, I think this time it depicted the feelings quite well.
Thank you very much.
Aditi,
Thank you.

Amey said,

I guess often you have to ask 10 questions to get one answer
Morning walk, since when?
SiD said,
November 3, 2007 @ 7:40 am
It rained in the evening here(quite heavily)… and i thought.. what the hell.. chaaata(umbrella) bhi nahi hai.. ghar kaise jaunga..
shit.. that was a bad PJ..
vaise kehna padega..bandi tu romantic type ki hai… and to be honest after reading the hindi version, I hated the translation part of it.. saare emotions barkha ke paani ke saath beh gaye…

क्यों तुम इतना याद आते हो ?..
कहीं से रूत्जगे कहीं ज़र्निगार से ख़्वाब दे .
तेरा क्या उसूल है ज़ींदगी , तुझे कौन इसका जवाब दे ।
जो बीछा सकूं तेरे वास्ते जो सजा सकूं तेरे रास्ते .
मेरी दस्तारस मैं सीतारे रख मेरी मुट्ठियों को गुलाब दे ..खैर !! बहुत छोटी सी रचना में आप बहुत बड़ी बात कह गए ……

uski yaad kabhi muskurahat, kabhi aansu ban, dheere se, halke se jab aati hai to khud ke hi hone ka ehsaas dilati hai bus isiliye aati hai, fir jab bhoolne lagun khud ko, fir se khud ki yaad ban, uski yaad chali aati hai.
Adaab mohtarma…
a beautiful piece u have written here. love.

Ofcourse I can read prose, but poetry takes more processing
Cuckoo said,
November 3, 2007 @ 8:43 pm
Jeseem,
Welcome again after that long hiatus. Glad to see you again.
Yes, exactly !! And thank you.
Prabhakar,
स्वागत है आपका यहाँ मेरे ब्लॉग पर | आपको मेरी रचनाएं पसंद आयीं, इसका धन्यवाद |
आते रहिये और लुत्फ़ उठाते रहिये |
Amey,
Sometimes even after 10 questions one remains as blank as a kora kaagaz.
Well, I am always an early riser. So, morning walks come with that, I guess. And come on, you know all this.
Cuckoo said,
November 3, 2007 @ 8:58 pm
SiD,
Arrey sir se paavN (whatever be the spelling) tak romance tapakta hai yahan. 
Ha Ha… Itne dino se itni sari poems padhne ke baad aaj pata chala ki I am romantic type ?? Bad very bad.
And the translation ?? wo to awehi non-Hindi logon ko behlaane ke liye 2 minutes job hai. Mat padha karo aap.
Translations can never do justice to the original work.
Raj Yadav,
स्वागत है आपका यहाँ मेरे ब्लॉग पर | आपको मेरी रचनाएं पसंद आयीं, इसका धन्यवाद |

Mohtarma aapka bhi jawab nahi.
Carol,
And your smile made me smile.
And thank you for liking it. Keep coming.
Priyank,
Ha Ha.. yeah, true if you talk about processing but my poems are always very simple worded.
And the translations can never do justice to the original work. Am I not right ?
Merisi said,
November 3, 2007 @ 10:11 pm
It’s so true, translations are a bit like transliteration, the letters may be transferable, but the meaning can many times never be expressed as perfectly. Much gets lost in translation, indeed.
I wonder how you experience the seasons. There was s slight drizzle here too while I walked home this evening. I suppose in your part of the world it’s warmer than 12°C at 10pm. I must say I have a weakness for drizzle, it muzzles the noises, and makes me feel serene. But only if it doesn’t last for days.

I have returned
Amey said,
November 4, 2007 @ 7:13 am
I guess which is why you have to keep asking questions
Otherwise, how would I have known that?
SiD said,
November 4, 2007 @ 8:18 am
hehe… arrey nahi.. pata to chal gaya tha… par maine kaha ki pehle kabhi bola nahi tha.. to bata dun taaki koi doubt na rahe
and I would spell it as ‘Paon’
Cuckoo said,
November 4, 2007 @ 9:15 am
Merisi,
Yes Merisi. Plus the language has its own flavour, annotations etc. which can never be translated.
Awww, I don’t like those freezing wintry drizzles of Europe if it goes on for days.. especially when snowing competes with it. Traveling this week, let me see if I have to carry an umbrella.
Jarvarm,
Welcome again and thank you.
Deepak,
What a surprise !! Glad to see you back.
And thank you so much for liking the poem.
Keep visiting.
Amey,
Remember my Why why why ?
Yes, yes… so very true !!
SiD,
Ha Ha.. so sweet. Chalo koi nee, der aaye durust aaye..
Yes ‘Paon’. I had forgotten the spelling. Damn me.
Not going home during Diwali ? Itni padhai to nahi hai.
Amey said,
November 4, 2007 @ 7:16 pm
Oh yes, I know you have a good habit of asking questions

Sameera,
Thank you girl. I have yet to visit your blog. Will do it one of these days, was away traveling.
