क्या मैं पहचान गयी तुम्हें? (Did I know you?)

I have known you nearly half my life, and once I knew you, I never wanted to know anyone else. I am sure, it wasn't the love at first sight, but I have definitely had moments, where I saw you as a person, and I was like, mm there is something different about you and I really want to get to know you.May be I don't know that much about you as I keep thinking, may be you know more about me, may be we both don't know anything about each other, there are so many, may be. But, I know this is true, I am blessed, because I was loved by you.

Sometimes it takes a good fall to really know, where you stand. And I have taken that fall. And realized that I can't ever feel lonely, because you are always in my thoughts, day and night.

"Let the thoughts be free to go anywhere, if you fall, rise again.....!!"

" तुमने सोचा न था

मैं पहचान जाऊँगी तुम्हें

सोचा कभी,

पन्नों पर उतार लूँ तुम्हें

पर तुम कोई कविता नहीं 

मेरे दिल की प्यास हो तुम

जाने जां बहुत खास हो तुम,

मेरे सीने में जो सुलगती है

वो सांस हो तुम

आँखों में जो बसता है

वो ख्वाब हो तुम,

मुझे गले लगाकर

कभी पास रहो तुम

बहुत याद आती हो

ऐसा कभी कहो तुम,

एक प्यास जमी है आँखों में 

न जाने वो क्यों नहीं पिघलती

रह जाती हैं उमड़ घुमड़ कर

पर खुलकर कभी नहीं बरसती

मैं अधूरी

मेरी प्यास अधूरी

मेरी आरज़ू,मेरी जुस्तजू अधूरी 

न जाने कब से तू

मेरी आँखों में क़ैद है

जन्मों से बिछड़ा हुआ

मेरी ज़िन्दगी का

एक अधूरा टुकड़ा.....

क्या ये सच है,

कि पहचान गयी हूँ तुम्हें?

 

Translation:

 

"You didn't think
I will recognize you
Thought sometimes,
Write you down on the pages
But you aren't poem,
you are the thirst of my heart
You know, you are very special
You are that burning breath 
Like the fire in my heart,
You are the dream
The one who dwells in my eyes
Hold me tight sometimes
stay near me
you too miss me so much
say it someday to me
A thirst is frozen
Don't know, why it doesn't melt
They wander, but never rains
I am incomplete,
my thirst is incomplete
My hope, my love
both incomplete
Don't know since when
I have imprisoned you
in my eyes
Separated from ages
An incomplete piece 
Of my life..."

Is it true,
that i Know you?
