“जुआ और पश्चाताप”
(The Gamble of Regret)
A painful and realistic poetic
commentary on how a single bad
gamble can ruin a well-settled life
and bring a family to the streets.

“ कट रही थी जिंदगी हमारी भी बड़े आराम से,
( Our life, too, has passing by quite
comfortably and peacefully,)
एक दाँव ऐसा लगा बैठे, की वो भारी ऐसा पड़ा,
(But we played such a gamble, and
it took such a heavy toll,)
अच्छे खासे घर में आराम से बैठे थे रोड़ पर आ बैठे |
(That we, who were sitting
comfortably in a well-settled home,
ended up out the street.)
जीतने का जूनून सवार हुआ कुछ ऐसा,
(Such a madness to win took
complete control of me,)
अपनी बीवी के कीमती गहने भी बेच बैठे,
(That I ended up selling even my
wife’s precious jewellery,)
करते थे इबादत खुदा की, पैसे क़ो अपना
भगवान मान बैठे,
(I used to worship God, but I ended
up making money my idol.)
गमों ने ऐसा घेरा हमें, की शराब क़ो यार मान
बैठे |
(Grief gripped me in such a way
that, I ended up making alcohol my
companion.)
रंग ऐसा चढ़ा शराब का रस्सी क़ो साँप मान
बैठे,
(The intoxication of alcohol
consumed me so much that I
mistook a simple rope for a snake,)
जल रहे हैं पश्चाताप की आग में ऐसा की, खुदा से एक और मौका मांग बैठे,
(Burning in the fire of regret in such a way, that I ended up begging God for one more chanse,)
भूल गये की जिंदगी कहाँ रहम करती हैं, बस यही बात लोगों क़ो समझाए बैठे |”
(Forgetting that life never shows
and mercy; and now I sit here
explaining this very truth to the
world,)
