पेंन्टिंग!
रात कल गहरी नींद में थी जब
एक ताज़ा सफेद कैनवस पर
आतिशीं लाल सुर्ख रंगों से
मैंने रोशन किया था इक सूरज
सुबह तक जल गया था वो कैनवस
राख बिखरी हुई थी कमरे में….!
Poetry by Gulzar
THE TRANSLATION
Painting
Yesterday when night was in deep slumber
On a fresh white canvas
With fiery red colours
I lit up a sun
That canvas got burnt up by morning
The ashes were scattered in the room…!
AFTER GULZAR: A TRANSCREATION
Yesterday, when the night drowned
I set the sun aflame
with reds
on a white canvas
that kept burning till it exploded, this morn
scattering ashes everywhere…!
