विषाद भरा यह मन मेरा :
नोंच लूँ आसमाँ के तारे तमाम
नोंच लीं थीं तुमनें जैसे ख़ुशियाँ मेरी
तोड़ डालूं इस घर के शीशे सभी
तोड़ दिए थे तुमने जैसे सपने मेरे
जला डालूं इस जहाँ के वुजूद को
जलाती हो ज्यों हिज्र की आग में
मिटा दूँ अपनी हर उम्मीद-ए-ख़ुशी
मिटा दीं जैसे तुमने सब यादें मेरी
सोचता हूँ
जीत जायेंगें मेरे ये ख्वाब-ओ-ख्याल
या बचा लेगी मुझे अच्छाई मेरी

I saw ‘demons’ in your poetry for the first time, but you won over them in the last line 🙂

Translation from Hindi to English
I wish I could
pull down all stars from heaven
where my dangling joys were snipped
shatter all glass panes of the house
where my dreams lie scattered
burn the world’s raison d’etre
like self-immolation away from you
destroy the last shred of hope
as you wiped off memories
I wonder
if these demons would win, or
my goodness will save me

I was aware of adding a little more than you intended in 1-2 places, but then I let it flow as it came.
