Hindi Poetry - Siyahi

हाथ मे कलम लिये सारी रात गुज़ारी,

एक ख़याल भी ना आया,

जब एक सोच ने दस्तक दी,

सियाही सूख चुकी थी। 

Haath mein kalam liye sari raat guzardi,

Ek khayal bhi na aya,

Jab ek soch ne kagaz par dastak di,

Siyahi sukh chuki thi...

I spent the night with a pen in hand,

Not a single idea came to my mind,

When a thought struck me,

I found the ink was dried...
