Abhi Bhi

(Note:- Phonetic script and English translation is below for all non-Hindi friends :))


जिन्दा हूँ मैं अभी भी,
किसी की यादों  में, 
किसी की बातों में |

गूंज मेरी हैं अभी भी,
उन बेजां रास्तों के सन्नाटों में, 
उन पत्तों की आहटों में |

जिन्दा हूँ मैं अभी भी,
किसी की यादों  में, 
किसी की बातों में |

अक्स मेरा हैं अभी भी,
किसी टूटे कांच के टुकड़े में,
किसी प्यासे कुएँ के पानी में|

जिन्दा हूँ मैं अभी भी,
किसी की यादों  में, 
किसी की बातों में |

परछाई हैं मेरी अभी भी,
चबूतरे पे उस खेल में. 
पलाश के उस पेड़ में |

जिन्दा हूँ मैं अभी भी,
किसी की यादों  में, 
किसी की बातों में |

निशाँ मेरे हैं  अभी भी,
दीवारों के उस सफ़ेद में, 
दरवाज़ों के उन भेद में |

जिन्दा हूँ मैं अभी भी,
किसी की यादों  में, 
किसी की बातों में |

सिलवटें हैं मेरी अभी भी,
किसी किताबों के उन पन्नो में, 
घंटें के उन पहरों में |

जिन्दा हूँ मैं अभी भी,
किसी की यादों  में, 
किसी की बातों में |

  1. i think instead of "aks mera hai abhi bhi", more apt would have been goonj meri hai abhi bhi, since the line is followed by "un bejan raston ke sannato main".

  2. Better would be to provide translation at last in one shot. Line by line translation is distracting.
    PS: The people who need translation won't be able to appreciate the poem anyway.
