You got this life to please God

You got this life   to please  God

Translated  by

P.R.Ramachander

(I got it from somw one’s  whatsapp  posting . Here is the translation.. I have translated  “Allah”    as “God” so that  this great poem  in Urdu would carry the message to all. My thanks to my daughter(of my extended family)  Meenakshi for having gone through it for  editing)

Mili thi Zindagi Allah ko raazi karne ke liye...,

Par waqt beet raha hai kagaz ke tukde kamane k liye...,

kya karoge itna paisa kamakar...?

Na kafan me jeb hai, na Qabar may Almari...,

aur ye maut ke Farishtey to rishwat bhi nahi lete...

Qabristaan Ke Baahar Likha Tha:

You got this life  for  persuading (please)  the God.

But  time is elapsing   for earning pieces  of papers,

What will you  do by earning so much money?

There is no pockets in Shroud or there is no shelf in the grave,

And this angel of death  does not also  does not take bribe

.

"Manzil To Teri Yahi Thi,

Bas Zindgi Guzar Gayi Aate Aate,

Kya Mila Tujhe Is Duniya Se,

Apno Ne Hi Dafna Diya Tujhe Jaate Jaate."

Your destination was   only this,

But life was spent while it came, while it came.

What did you get  out of this world,

Your own people   have buried you  and went away

.

"Aaj Amal hai, Hisaab nahi.

Kal Hisaab hoga, Amal nahi..!"

Today it is implementation   and not   account taking  ,

Tomorrow  it would  be account  taking    and not implementation

.

Hindi Original

मिलिथी जिंदगी अल्लाह को राजी करने के लिए

“पर वक्त बीत रहा है “कागज के टुकड़े कमाने के लिए

“क्या करोगे इतना पैसा कमाकर

“न कफ़न में जेब है “न कब्र में अलमारी “

और यह मौत के फरिश्ते तो रिशवत भी नहीं लेते हैं

“कब्रिस्तान के बाहर लिखा था

“मंजिल तो तेरी यही थी

“बस जिंदगी गुजर गई आते आते

“क्या मिला तुझे इस दुनिया से

“अपनों ने ही दफना दिया तुझे जाते जाते

“आज अमल है हिसाब नहीं

“कल हिसाब होगा अमल नहीं”
