कहाँ जा रहा है, रुक जा ज़रा , थम जा ज़रा.
यह समां न रहेगा हमेशा, यह बातें न रहेंगी हमेशा.

भागते भागते पीछे छूट गए सब लोग, पीछे छूट गयी वह गलियां,
जहाँ था तेरा बसेरा, जहाँ थे दोस्त और सखियाँ.

यह समय है जो साथ तेरा कभी देगा नहीं,
तू कितना भी भाग ले, समय से आगे भाग पायेगा नहीं.

कहाँ जा रहा है, रुक जा ज़रा, थम जा ज़रा,
थोड़ी देर बैठो अपनों के साथ, थोड़ा वक़्त तो बिता लो.

सामने होते हुए भी तुम यहां नहीं हो,
हम मिलते हैं, बातें करते हैं पर बातों में तुम नहीं हो.

यह नज़ारे कल हो न हो, यह बहारें कल हो न हो,
जी ले ज़रा, हँस ले ज़रा, यह ज़िन्दगी कल हो न हो !

 

Don’t we all want the time to stop sometimes? We all feel it is running too fast. There are many things which we all want to finish and enjoy before getting old. Actually, it’s now or never. So just do it now and do not wait for anything else. Why run after time? Better to do what you always wanted to do. Take a break and just go out and explore this world.

Just take a step back in life and go spend time with your family and friends. Sometimes we realise the worth of all this when it’s too late. Taking a break and enjoying is important for everyone. Go for a vacation, or take up a hobby or passion which you always wanted to do.

This is my first attempt at Hindi poetry. Hope you liked it.
