बहुत दिन हुए अब
धड़कने नहीं सुनी धरती की, मद्धम
न धूप को छेड़ा, न हवा संग खेला
धड़कने नहीं सुनी धरती की, मद्धम
न धूप को छेड़ा, न हवा संग खेला
बहुत दिन हुए अब
बादलों की खेती नहीं की मैंने
न बीज बोए बारिशों के, न फसल काटी सपनों की
बहुत दिन हुए अब
चाँद से बातें नहीं की अपने
न शब्दों को तराशा, न एहसास पिरोये लड़ियों में
पर अब नहीं, अब नहीं
बहुत दिन हो गए अब
translation coming up soon 🙂
and here it is
its been so long
since i heard the earth’s heartbeat faint
neither teased sunshine
nor with the breeze i played
since i heard the earth’s heartbeat faint
neither teased sunshine
nor with the breeze i played
its been so long
since i tilled the clouds
neither sowed the seeds of rains
nor the crop of dreams i reaped
its been so long
since i talked with my love – the moon
either sculpted these words of mine
nor any feelings i strung
but… not anymore, not anymore
been too long it already is
