हाथों में देके हाथ जो किया था तुमने
क्या अब भी वो अहद याद है तुम्हें
जहाँ पर आखिरी बार मिले थे हम
ख्यालों की वह सरहद याद है तुम्हें
और वो पहली मुलाकात हमारी
क्या उसका उन्माद याद है तुम्हें
वो जो हम में तुम में करार था
क्या उसकी बुनियाद याद है तुम्हें
की तुमने तो बस दिल्लगी “अमित”
पर हुआ कौन बर्बाद याद है तुम्हें

“Khayalon ki sarhad” is a beautiful terminology.

Reblogged this on Reena Saxena and commented:
English translation first 🙂 Scroll down for the original piece by hecblogger in Hindi
Do you remember we held hands
and made promises to live by…
Do you remember where we met last
last boundary line of our thoughts
Do you remember the first time we met
levels of excitement, intoxication reset
Do you remember our agreement
where it started, and its tenets
A prank for you, commitment in sands
Do you remember who got destroyed thereby?

I love how you’ve used the refrain “Do you remember”… Setting it up in the first four stanzas to evoke memories
… and using it in accusatory tone in the closing line…

Thank you! The rhyme meter is the same in first/last and different in in-between stanzas.
