stone

Har ek patthar, kabhi ek dil tha,
Kissi ek shaks ke naam par
Dhadakna jiska kaam tha

Kuch khas hi vajah hogi
Ke un dhadkanone us naam 
Ko banaya aam sa

Na jaane kab us naam ko
lete lete dhadkanom ko bhulana,
Lagne lage aasan sa

Aur na jaane kab,
khoon maas ka ek aur dil
Ban gaya pathar anjaan sa!


every stone was once a heart,
beating for a particular name  was its job's part!

must have been some special reason ,
that the name became common,

wonder when it was the heart
found it easy, the name to forget

and wonder when it is when
the beating living heart became just another stone
