Jaun Elia : Best Lines 1
Apni manzil ka rasta bhejo,
Jaun humko wahan bula bhejo.
अपनी मंज़िल का रास्ता भेजो,
जउन हमको वहां बुला भेजो.
Send the way to your destination,
as soon as you call us there.
Kuch toh rishta hai tumse kambakhton,
Kuch nahin toh ik baddua bhejo.
कुछ तोह रिश्ता है तुमसे कम्बख्तों,
कुछ नहीं तोह इक बद्दुआ भेजो.
There is some relation with you rascals,
if not, send a curse.

Nayi kaliyaan jo ab khili hain wahan,
Unki khushbu toh ik zara bhejo.
नई कलियाँ जो अब खिली हैं वहां,
उनकी खुशबु तोह इक ज़रा भेजो.
The new buds that have now blossomed there,
send a little of their fragrance.
Meri keemat ghatayi ja rahi hai,
Mujhe furqat sikhayi ja rahi hai.
Wo shay jo sirf hindustan ki thi,
Pakistan laayi jaa rahi hai.
मेरी कीमत घटाई जा रही है,
मुझे फुरक़त सिखाई जा रही है.
वो शय जो सिर्फ हिंदुस्तान की थी,
पाकिस्तान लायी जा रही है.
My value is being reduced,
I am being taught leisure.
The shay which belonged only to India,
is being brought to Pakistan.
Jaun Elia Sad Poetry
Iss samandar mein tashneqaam hun main,
Baan tum ab bhi beh rahi ho kya.
इस समंदर में तश्नेकाम हूँ मैं,
बाण तुम अब भी बह रही हो क्या.
I am restless in this sea,
are you still flowing?
Jo guzaari na ja saki humse,
Humne wo zindagi guzaari hai.
जो गुज़ारी न जा सकी हमसे,
हमने वो ज़िन्दगी गुजारी है.
We have lived the life that we could not live.
Ye mujhe chaen kyun nahi parta,
Ek hi shaks tha jahan mein kya.
ये मुझे चैन क्यों नहीं परता,
एक ही शख्स था जहाँ में क्या.
Why doesn’t this bother me,
there was only one person in the world.
Main bhi bohot ajeeb hun, Itna ajeeb ki bas,
Khud ko tabaah kar lia or malaal bhi nahin.
मैं भी बोहोत अजीब हुन, इतना अजीब की बस,
खुद को तबाह कर लिए और मलाल भी नहीं.
I am also very strange, so strange that
I have destroyed myself and have no regrets.
Jon ELia Poetry
Sab daleelein toh mujhko yaad rahin,
Behes kya thi usiko bhul gaya.
सब दलीलें तोह मुझको याद रहीं,
बेहेस क्या थी उसको भूल गया.
I remembered all the arguments,
forgot what was the argument.
Bohot nazdeek aati ja rahi ho,
Bichhadne ka irada kar lia hai kya.
बोहोत नज़दीक आती जा रही हो,
बिछड़ने का इरादा कर लिए है क्या.
You are coming very close,
have you made up your mind to part?
Jaun Elia Poetry
Mujhe ab tumse darr lagne laga hai,
Tumhe mujhse mohabbat ho gayi kya
मुझे अब तुमसे डर लगने लगा है,
तुम्हे मुझसे मोहब्बत हो गयी क्या
I am scared of you now,
have you fallen in love with me?
Kaun iss ghar ki dekhbhaal kare,
Roz ik cheez toot jati hai.
कौन इस घर की देखभाल करे,
रोज़ इक चीज़ टूट जाती है.
Who will take care of this house,
everyday one thing breaks.
Kaise kahein ki tujh ko bhi humse hai vasta koi,
Tu ne toh aaj tak humse koi gila hi nahin kia.
कैसे कहें की तुझ को भी हमसे है वास्ता कोई,
तू ने तोह आज तक हमसे कोई गिला ही नहीं किआ.
How to say that you also have any concern with us,
you have not even complained to us till date.
Kisliye dekhti ho aaina,
Tum toh khud se bhi khoobsurat ho.
किसलिए देखती हो आईना,
तुम तोह खुद से भी खूबसूरत हो.
Why do you look at the mirror,
you are more beautiful than yourself.
Zindagi kis tarah basar hogi,
Dil nahi lag raha mohabbat mein.
ज़िन्दगी किस तरह बसर होगी,
दिल नहीं लग रहा मोहब्बत में.
How will life be lived,
I am not feeling in love.
