Try

By Araina Soni


They say if you never try, you will never know, 

maybe it's better for me to never try and never know?

क्युकी, क्या कहूँगी उस माँ से, who spent her entire life into making mine better?

खुद को दरिया मे डूबते देख , 

कैसे कहूँगी उस छोटी बेहेन को, कि डरना मत मैं तेरे साथ हूँ?

“Am I going to wash my life down the drain”

कब खुद से यह सवाल पूछना बंद करुँगी ?

Will regret choke me till I'm out of breath,

falling on the hard floor and could fall no further? 

वो पूछते है, कैसे सपने? आखिर कोनसे सपने?

जो सोने के दाम बिक जाए या धुल के भाती गुम जाए 

शायद किसी दिन बाकियो कि तरह यह कहना ज्यादा आसान होगा कि 

‘वह सब मैं भी कर सकती थी, उन सब से बेहतर कर सकती थी!’

yet here I am, 

giving  these dreams a chance

because if I never try, I will never know.
