न जाने क्यों,

मुझे उस ढलती शाम के

अधूरे चाँद से अलग ही प्यार है.

*

Somehow,

I brace a different kind of love for that half moon,

advancing the evening.

 

PS:I know I could have never come up with an English translation, sounding almost the same as the Hindi version; still worth a try may be?

    1. Thanks, I know you are being too generous with your appreciation here.
      I do write in Hindi, not so much, but every once in a while, and it remains hidden in a journal, or a hidden folder on my screen. Only recently have I posted a couple or two posts here.

Your perception holds importance for me.
