In His Love

By Nooreen Fatima

لے کر بیٹھے تھے اک کاغذ اور قلم،

لکھنے کو آپ کی محبت میں ہم.

الفاظ نہ ملے اور آنکھیں ہو گئی نم،

حقِ والد ادا نہ کر سکیں گے ہم.

English Version:

IN HIS LOVE… 

I sat with paper and pen in hand,

To write of your love, as I had planned.

Words eluded me, and my eyes turned to tears,

Unable to fulfill my father’s dues, after all these years.

Roman Urdu/hindi:

Lekar baithe the ek kagaz aur qalam,

Likhne ko aapki mohabbat mein ham.

Alfaz na mile aur aankhein hogayi nam,

Haq-e-walid ada na kar sakenge ham.
