 We met after an age determined
‘Twas an ocean of emotions within
Both led on a path the universe loathed
What were we but lovers star crossed?
 
We drenched in rain and enjoyed mountain breeze
And played through pastures and the maple trees
We gained less and more we lost
Did we know we were lovers star crossed?
 
We trode troublous with a dream ‘twill change destiny
We’d live in eternal love and harmony
What fools were we, can destiny be changed at all
Forgot that we were lovers star crossed
 
Injured, hurt in search of twilight we accepted defeat
Like the parallel lines walk together but never can meet
E’vry star around happy as we exhaust
After all we were the chosen lovers star crossed
 
Now we are away and do all that is right
Not heeding to the earth that misses the sun at night
Accept it and say to each other
My Love, we keep the tryst for life another.
 
With the Sun, Moon and Stars agleam
Love and live for a united dream
The sparrows and the cuckoos singing eloquent vespers
Alas we sha’nt be lovers star crossed
 
 
 
This is my very very humble attempt to pay a small tribute to the great work of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The term star crossed lovers was first coined in this epic work. To read more star crossed lovers

दिल टूटा धड़कने बिखरी
आँखें भीगी सिसकियाँ भारी

कापे हाथ ज़बान लड़खड़ाई
मन कमज़ोर पैर कपकपए


नज़ेरें मिली उससे
धृषय ढूँडलसा
पर कहीं ना कहीं हौसला देता सा


वो हसा दर्द से
वो भी मुस्कुराइ दुख च्छुपाए


कुछ रिश्तों के होते ना नाम
अशर्त, पवितरा पर बदनाम


इन रिश्तों का मोल करें क्या कोई
ना यह दुनिया के लिए ना दुनिया इनके लिए बनी

English Translation

 

Heartbroken beats scattered

Teary eyes, heaves and sobs

 

Trembling hands, tongue shudders

Emotions weak, legs quiver

 

Then the eyes meet

His form nebulous

Providing strength fathomless

 

He smiled pain within

She smiled too hurt hidden

 

Some relations are incognito

Unconditional, pious, undefined hitherto

 

Their value unfathomed

Neither the world nor they for each other made.
