Hindi Poem by Gulzar
English translation by C.P. Ravikumar
Do you see the gentle fragrance exuding from those eyes?
Do not touch! Or you will inflict a blemish of a relation
Feel it with your soul, this delicate sensation -
Pray let love be what it is and do not categorize!
Love has no language, nor can it vocalize
It listens silently and in silence it speaks.
A droplet of light that flows from ages,
It stops nowhere, nor stagnates nor dries.
Somewhere in those eyes a smile blushes
And a light plays hide-sand-seek, behold -
They do not utter a word, but on the quivering lips
A hundred stories are waiting to be told
