Translations of forgotten paths

English:

Its been long
Since I wrote
Since the words came
Since words became
I wonder what it will be
To think and to see
Without the flow to guide
And to mind the thinking
I know this is a verse
Or not
I know this to be thought
Is to bound a soul
Closing the lid
To the paths untold
I used to write
I write
and it will keep writing

Hindi:
Kehne ko kuchh shabd hain kahin
Puchhta hun unse, kuchh ho sahi
Kabhi baat karne ko ho
Kabhi kahin likh aane ko
Puchhta hun unse, kuchh ho wahin
Aaj to yaad kar liya
Kuchh dil abaad kar liya
Kal fir bhool jane ko
Fir durian badhane ko
Yaad aaega tumhe, kuchh the kahin?

Divit

A world anew

A world re-imagined

With Duggu, our Bahubali

Inquisitive eyes

Taking all in

Testing everything

Pushing everything

Soaking the world in

The prettiest smile

Basking on the lucky few

Glittering your way

For the right play

On the right day

The boss mouth

Timed to the minute

If the milk is missing

Too much kissing

If he is not sleeping

All in all,

Part Viking, part Balaji

Listening to Norse ballads

Or to Hanuman Chalisa

The Duggu

The Bahubali

The Divit 

My star son

Whole box of fun

Mej pe baithe

Kuchh kahna hoga unko

kuchh to jarur kahenge

baton ki shikayat mein

kuchh to jarur bahenge

kuchh baat nayi hogi

saugat nayi hogi

kahi kuchh bhulenge

kahin yaad use hogi

bas ye is or se mej ke

mej ke us or ki duri hai

main hun jara sa sehma sa

mahol hai jara sa gehma sa

kuchh ghanto ki puri hai

bas itni si majburi hai

Har kuchh akhiri

Kehne ko kuchh nahi baki

Jhoomte bas tu aur main saki

Akhiri din, akhri pal

Akhri muskan, akhri alwida

Fir milne ki khwahish mein

Fir sang rulne ki khwahish mein

Bas ek jam tera baki

Bas ek jam mera baki

The arm rest fight

You board, you smile 

Namaste she says

Good evening you reply

Walking down the aisle

you find a pretty red coat

the one you know from school 

the one you know worth the fight 

but you surrender 

surrender your seat 

to listen to silence

and to fight for the arm rest

for the rest of the flight 

and some

And then the words are to be written 

Numbers to be tallied 

To be sorted and showed

To another lovely flight

In a crowd and with a red coat

Anjano ki nav

Kabhi Anjano ki sangat mein

Baton ko kuchh taras jate hain

Kuchh hanste, kuchh daudte

sukhe nayan bhi baras jate hain

Rangat mein nayako ke beech

Kuchh baat yun samajh jate hain

Tera kissa, nai ki purani kuchh batein

Kuchh dhage aise ulajh jate hain

Shyamo ke Gano mein, jalte Tarano mein

Yaad behti bato ki, yaad udti hawao ki

Hum yarana ek aur naya

Kuchh aise samajh jate hain

Tujhe Apna samajh jate hain

Khud badal jate hain

Jindagi se

Shuru sawar hai jindagi pe

Kuchh pyar hai jindagi se

Dosto ki sawario mein

Shyamo ki tayaarion mein

Kie karam jindagi ne

Sawaal tayyar hai jindagi pe

Jawab yaar mile jindagi se

Shyam ki tanhayi mein

Raat Ki judaai mein

Die malham jindagi ne

 

Mile fir kabhi hum jindagi se

To another year

A start and an end

The year which was

And the year which will be

Class mates became friends

Friends became something more

Wishes and happiness

Mushed with memories

Happiness of a surprise cake

Happiness to be among all

Happiness to be kicked, wished and hugged

Happiness of the one call

Words are such, as they will be

To be thankful

For a day among you again

Thank you for being there for me

Thank you for making this

I to We

Fir kehne ko ek saal beet aya

Dost bhi bana, jo tha paraya

Bas tum logo ki yaari ne banaya mujhe

Chhod aae beete saal ka saya

Is tohfe ke lie shukria

O Week

Kahu main kuchh na tujhe

ye yara ho nahi sakta

Dikhai rahe jo tune mujhe

Unhe main kho nahi sakta

Din kuchh the Saat 

Ya the ye Saat mahine

Kuchh ki humne baat

Khud ko khoke, fule seene

Shukriya lafz hai chhota

Bas apna samajh rakhiega

Jo kissa hua ho koi khota

khaate humare mafi likhiega

Shukriya is dil se 

Shukriya us dil ke lie

Batana fir mujhe

Kuchh to bata de

Kyun sochi ye kahania

Batane wala jag sara

Sunne wala dil bemania

Kuchh to khushi mein

Kuchh to gam mein

Sach kabhi bol bhi le

Dubi dil mein sachaiyan 

Kabhi to khol bhi le

Kuchh behne de ansu

Duba de cheekho mein kamre

Par aja fir wapas

Kahania na bemania

Bas kar fir baat mujhse jania
