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.....

Incredible! Simple yet effective thought! We often forget to enjoy the simpler things in life in pursuit of greater challenges!

Kamlesh,

It's a beautiful poem. In fact I have read your other poems as well and had been thinking of complimenting you for your writing skills.

Keep them coming!

Love,
