नया साल

नया साल है तो
लाजिम होगा
कुछ नयी बातों का तकाज़ा
कुछ नयी शुरुआतों  का ज़िक्र भी होगा
कुछ छूटे साथियों की याद आयेगी

वक़्त गोल पहिया है
कहाँ इसका आगाज़ , कहाँ अंजाम
किसी ने एक दिन रुक कर
एक जगह पहिये पर
एक काली बिंदी लगा दी
तब से हम सब
नया साल मनाते हैं

 On new year's eve
there are bound to be
resolutions
missing of friends
lost along the way.

Time, is an endless wheel
where is the start, or the end
of the earth's revolution?
someone stood, at one place, one day,
and put a tiny marker spot
on the wheel
And that is how
we came to celebrate
The New Year.

Dear HDWK

Such a nice thought about 'Wakt Gol Pahiya'..

Unfortunately to me .. time doesn't appear to be coming back.. like that could on a wheel..

How are you ? How are things at your end ? Wish you happiness and health in new year. Take care.
