Dil Ki Kamzori [hinglish]

Vo bina helmet ke
badi teizee se

scooterchala raha tha
speed-breaker dekha nahi

palatne se
vo toh baal baal baccha
lekin jo samaan
saath lekar ja raha tha,
ek lohe ki machine
vo buri tarah
sadak pe gira

joro se
tyron ki cheekh sunai padi
an arresting crash
of something
brutally smashed

Driving in the opposite direction
pal bhar ke liye
dil ne kheecha, mn ne chaha
apni
car ko rok lu
uss dabbee ki halat poonch lu

Then I thought of you
and remembered
that machino, ke koi dil nahin hote
yeh kamzori, toh sirf
insaano ko di gayee hai
