In the time this moment passes,
My wrath will burn it all to ashes.
The pillars of our steely bond
Will melt to mild molasses.
That wish upon the shooting star,
Like stars will turn to gasses.
Your tears may douse the fire today.
They’ll drain tomorrow’s glasses.
Translated from my Hindi poem “गुस्सा“.
gussā
jitnī der mein ye pal jāyegā
mere gusse se sab jal jāyegā
humāre rishte kī mināron kā
wo Faulād bhī gal jāyegā
TūTte tāre se māngī wo duā
us hi tāre sa DHal jāyegā
ānsuon se āj bachā loge par
unmein dūb humārā kal jāyegā
