Panchatantra Krist Ki: Kannch K Sapne - The Fragile Dreams

Penned By Narayan-Chandra Rauf 

शायर: नारायण-चन्द्र रउफ  

आहिस्ते से, धीरे आना
पैरों  की आहट 
कोई सुनने ना पाए

काँच के सपने हैं
बिखरे पड़े हैं 
खामोशियों में

आहिस्ते से, धीरे से ...
नींद ना उड़े उसकी

सुना था कभी के 
सपने टूटते हैं
नींद खुलती हैं
उनकी जभी!

Penned By B D Narayankar

Aahiste se, dheere aanaa
Paairon ki aahat 
Sunane na paaye koyi

Kanch k sapne hain
Bikhare pade hain 
khamoshiyon mein

Aahiste se, dheere se ...
Neend na udey uski

Sapne tootate hain
Neend unki jab 
khulti hain!

Translated By B D Narayankar

Step in gently
So that the echoes of
your footfalls are not heard

Dreams are made of glasses
and are sprinkled in silences

Step in gently
so that the sleep
is not disturbed

Dreams die
when they wake up!

Note: This piece is inspired by a tender profile pic of a sleeping baby - named after Narayan incarnate - in whatsapp a couple of days back.
