PROMPT #172
The theme is
Components of Time
मैं बैठी बीती यादें लेकर
समय उड़ गया पंख पसार
मैं ही पीछे रह गयी
आगे बढ़ गया सब संसार
समय सिखा देगा सब कुछ
इसी भरम में समय गंवाया
आँख कान सब बंद पड़े थे
समय तो था हरदम तैयार
आगे कल और पीछे कल की
बड़ी है भूल भुलैय्या
जो इसमें फँस गया न उबरे
वर्तमान को ही दे बिसार
समय हँसे
जो समय न चेते
उसका जीना है बेकार
Here is the English translation by Reena Saxena
I nursed memories
Time flew ….
I lagged behind
worlds moved
I wasted Time
with the thought
Time is
the best teacher
I was insensitized
Time – ready to move
I couldn’t choose
between past and future
Present sulked
Time laughs
You waste a life
If you do not
wake up in time
is there an English translation, i’m lost here, thanks

Well, the essence is I wasted my time thinking about yesterday and tomorrow, awaiting perhaps time will teach me something. Time laughed at my ignorance and flew away.
