Jab V Met.....

One breezy afternoon , when the world moved on,
I paused for a moment as i met her,
Bewildered and astonished there i stood,
Gazing at the mysticness of God's creation.

उन आखों में अध्भुध सी मासुमियत थी,
उन लब्जों में मिटास ,
मुस्कुराता हुआ उसका चेहरा ,
मानो नीले अम्बर में सूरज खिलखिला रहा था ।



Fragile, sensuous and beauteous as a lass could,
I wondered how meticulously ornamented was she,
A 440 watt smile and stunning looks to kill,
And a deadly mix of poise and perfection.

घायल हुआ में उस हँसी पर,
उन जुल्फों की छांव को में तरसा,
उसकी शक्सियत में ज़रूर कुछ ऐसा जादू था,
मेरे जीने की वजह जो वह बन गई थी ।



Sum sleepless nights, some everlasting memories,
Glossed with colour and excitement,
Puerile and character personified was she,
Her innate credentials matched my ideal gal's prerequistes.

वह कहती गई ,मैं सुनता रहा,
प्यार का मौसम जो छाया हुआ था,
मेरे ख्वाबों के आशियाने को जैसे साहारा मिला,
तनहायों ने मुझसे अलविदा जो कह दिया।



I started longing for her presence,
Awestrucken her diffidence emblazoned,
Eventhough adorations grew in multiples,
Strangely friends had other second thoughts.

पर लोग कुछ भी कहे , वह थी अजब सी,
अनहोनी, अनोखी, अनजानी थी वह,
ना जानते हुए भी मैं आकर्षित हुआ,
क्या पता उसमे जादू ही कुछ ऐसा था ।


Note: The protagonist is purely my figment of imagination. Any resemblances to a real life character might be pure coincidental. Also to add, my prose had been previusly published in my college magazine during my tenure as College Union General Secretary . But due to the moroness of a blind Editor, the editing and compilation of this prose completly went awry. Bloody fools [:)]
