Bejaan patharo ko mukkamal chattane banata hai kaun?
(Who makes lifeless stones to become strong mountains?)
One who see’s beauty and purpose in them… Without someone seeing the beauty and purpose, the highest and strongest of mountains are just lifeless stones… It is one who finds it magnificent gives the mountains their meaning…
Andhe samandar ko maujo ka sagar banata hai kaun?
(Who makes blind oceans into a full of waves rocking sea?)
One who powers the pulls and breathes movement in an otherwise dull expanse… Without the waves that are powered and rock the sea, that reach the shore… The ocean is just a huge expanse of nothingness… It is the power that creates the waves that adds life to this expanse…
Khatma hoti hui laash ko humdard maan, aasu bahata hain kaun?
(For a withering away body, who considers it as their own and cries over it?)
One who has feelings of care, love, empathy and belongingness in an otherwise lonely existence… The reality of a body is known to wither away, and the one who will still cry for it is the one who has love and empathy…
Gumnaam hai jo zindagi, jee ne ki raah dikhata hai kaun?
(For a life which has no recognition, who gives the direction to live?)
One who can see value and qualities and has a vision and verve of life themselves… There are billions of lives going around… But what makes life worth living is the direction and purpose that enables the path to live… And the one who has that verve can power others…
Gadhiya sabki chal rahi hai lekin, waqt kisi ka accha banata hai kaun?
(Everyone’s watch is ticking, but who creates good time for anyone?)
One who can bring joy and happiness in life… Everyone is searching for happiness and good times… But the joy can only be brought in by that one…
Acche waqt mein bhi jiski yaad aa jaye, wo rulata hai kaun?
(In good times who is it we miss and remember, and makes us cry?)
One without whom even the good times are not complete…
Har is ehsaas ke bohot hai humnawa, har is ehsaas ko lekin jagata hai kaun?
(All this emotions, there are many who will echo, who is the one however who can instigate all this emotions?)
One whom you love or loves you… One who completes you… For every emotion there are different people whom one can find to empathize with… But only the one you truly love will inspire all the emotions in you…
Dhundne ko na kaho iska javab aaine mein…
Dekh to sab rahe hai lekin, jo dikh raha usse pehchanta hai kaun?
(Don’t ask to find answers in a mirror… Everyone is looking… But who understands, recognises or knows what is being seen?)
One who knows your mind and soul… Your heart… Many philosophies say that meaning, purpose, strength can be find by looking inwards at yourself… Many are looking and trying… But only the one that knows what you truly are is able to enlighten those things…
Dhundne par he kyun milta hai khuda, jo milta hai usse rab banata hai kaun?
(Why only on searching does one find god… Who finds god in what is found?)
One who loves… To yearn for the perfect partner everyone yearns… But only the one who loves finds perfection in the partner they find…
Har lamha hote hai tumse kai bismil… Dewaana kar mujhe har baar, phir yeh saaval kara ta hai kaun?
(Every moment many are falling wounded in your love… But everytime making me crazy in love, who is making me ask all this questions)?
That one for me.. to whom this poem is dedicated and attributed to is Jainee…
Happy birthday!
