कि कल कोई ये न कहे... So tomorrow no one says...


देख लेने दो आज इस दुनिया को मुझे जी भरके,
कि कल जहाँ ये न कहे कि मैं यहाँ से गुज़रा न था.

बरस जाने दो आज इस बारिश को मुझपर जी भरके,
कि कल कोई बूँद ये न कहे कि मैं उसमें भीगा न था.

चल लेने दो आज मुझे इस हसीं ज़मीन पर जी भरके,
कि कल मिट्टी ये न कहे कि मैंने उसे छुआ न था.

भर लेने दो आज आसमां को आँखों में मेरी जी भरके, 
कि कल फलक ये न कहे कि मैं उसमें खोया न था.

ले लेने दो आज मुझे साँसें जी भरके,
कि कल पवन ये न कहे कि मैंने उसे महसूस किया न था.

जल जाने दो आज मुझे इस आग में जी भरके,
कि कल कोई लौ ये न कहे कि मैं उसमें समाया न था.

जी लेने दो आज मुझे हर पल को जी भरके,
कि कल कोई लम्हा ये न कहे कि मैंने उसमें ज़िंदा न था.

गा लेने दो आज हर गीत मुझे जी भरके,
कि कल कोई अलफ़ाज़ ये न कहे कि मैंने उसे गुनगुनाया न था 

English Translation

Let the world see me today to its satisfaction,
So tomorrow no one says I didn’t visit this place.

Let it rain on me today,
so tomorrow no drops says that I didn’t get wet in it.

Let me walk today on this beautiful earth,
So tomorrow it doesn’t say that I didn’t touch it.

Let me fill the sky today in my eyes,
So tomorrow it doesn’t say that I didn’t make it my mirror.

Let me breathe deeply today to my contentment,
So tomorrow the air doesn’t say that I didn’t soak in it.

Let me burn today in this fire,
So tomorrow the flames won’t say that I didn’t embrace them.

Let me live every moment today,
So tomorrow no moment says that I didn’t find life in it.

Let me sing a song today
So tomorrow no word would say that I didn't hum it.

    Beautiful one Kamlesh. I just love this one. The first thing that I read in the morning as soon as I opened my eyes.

    Padh lene do aaj mujhe Inn planktiyon ko,
    Ki kal koi shabd ye na kahe ki maine unka lutf uthaya na tha.....
