“Oh beloved moon,
fear not the dawn that separates us,
For we will meet again,
when the world goes to sleep.
In the light of day,
I am unseen,
It is in your light,
my heart awakens.
We will dance as shadows dance
to the songs of nightingales.
We will touch as shadows touch
becoming one in the midnight sun.
Oh beloved moon,
fear not the dawn that separates us.
For we will meet again,
when the world goes to sleep.”
- Aligarh (2015)

teri aankhon ke siwa duniya me rakha kya hai
ye uthe subah chale
ye jhuke shaam dhale
mera jeena, mera marna inhi palkon ke tale

कब तक मुझ से प्यार करोगे
कब तक?
How long will you love me?
How long?
जब तक मेरे रहम से बच्चे की तख़्लीक़ का ख़ून बहेगा
As long as my womb sheds
Its child-bearing blood?
जब तक मेरा रंग है ताज़ा
जब तक मेरा अंग तना है
As long as my colour blooms,
My flesh is firm?
पर इस के आगे भी तो कुछ है
वो सब क्या है
किसे पता है
But surely there's something beyond all that,
A place out there, somewhere.
What it might be
None of us knows.
वहीं की एक मुसाफ़िर मैं भी
अनजाने का शौक़ बड़ा है
I journey towards that very place,
Craving the unknown
पर तुम मेरे साथ न होगे तब तक
But that far, that long
You will not be with me.
//Fahmida Riaz, kab tak
