ROZ EK SHER: Nida Fazli

[MANISH MODI]

This is the sher by Nida Fazli that inspired my earlier attempt at poetry.

ये क्या अज़ाब है सब अपने आप में गुम हैं

ज़बां मिली है मगर हमज़बाँ नहीं मिलता

~ निदा फ़ाज़ली

یہ کیا عذاب ہے سب اپنے آپ میں گم ہیں
زبان ملے ہے مگر ہمزباں نہیں ملتا
~ ندا فاضلی

ye kyaa azaab hai sab apne aap mein gum hain
zabaan milii hai magar hamzabaan nahiin miltaa
~ Nida Fazli

What turmoil is this, everyone is lost in his own life.
I have a tongue but no one to talk to.
