Pebbles scattered on the ground
amidst the greenery around...

Never did I think that,
fate will bring me to the point...

I stand at the head end of the patient,
a speechless witness to the kind cruelty...

The fragrant peace is difficult to achieve,
The gong of time clicks...

Shine, Oh! Street, in the rain of white light.
Oh! Highway man, shine in the luminescent light...

Three pairs of old legs
and three strong sticks...

With blurred hopes and blunt dreams,
not with melancholy within...

Envy reigns supreme in my mind,
when I see those birds relishing on fruits...

The symphony is lost,
so are my thoughts...

An old man and a tired stick,
are preparing themselves...

Majrooh Sultanpuri (Kabhi haan Kabhi naa)
Translated by Dr. Sandeep Kumar Kar...

The sky is covered with dark clouds,
amidst them sparkles the ray of hope...
