@ Ok: No offence intended, but cud u translate ur comment. as the one who composed the shayari, i have a right to know wat the comments mean. The translation will follow, if that’s wat u’re luking for.

@ Nandini: Thank u very much!! I’m glad u liked it. this was in response to max’s post ‘rog…’.

@Aditya: Thanks a lot!!

@ Gayatri and all those insisting on a translation:

“The little tale that u have just narrated
Even God would me amused by it.

Because he does undestand,
That even he is helpless in this case.

The illness that u talk about,
There is but, just one remedy.

The fairy that hides in those galaxies of ur dreams,
She is but the only one with the cure. (‘tabeeb’ actually means doctor or ‘the one who cures’. so, the line literally translates to ’she is but ur only doctor’)

Go to her and entreat her for the remedy
Go! do not delay! not tomorrow but today!

But know this,
And take my word for it!!

O my Friend! When God himself is a slave of love,
Then just think! how can he ever treat his devotee.” (Actually, the last two lines literally translate to “O my friend! When God himself is a slave of this feeling (love), Then just think! What kind of a doctor he would make to treat the devotee”.)

I know my translation sounds ridiculously ‘unpoetic’ in English, but the Urdu version does indeed sound nice! I’m not very poetic by language and honestly, this was my first crack at Urdu poetry, my mother-tongue being Telugu. I’m really glad u guys liked it! i didn’t think i’d get such responses. no empty promises, but i’ll try coming up with more.

Thanks again!!
