बिखरी निगाहें - Scattered Gazes

(Image Source: http://www.listofimages.com)

बिखरी  निगाहें 
ख्वाब  में डूबी 
कलम की स्याही से 
ली है करवटें मैंने
दर्द भरे  इन घावों को 
हैं आज उड़ने की ख्वाइश 
काश होते पंख मेरे भी 
पूरी  करता मैं तेरी सारी  फरमाइश



This is my first attempt in writing a Hindi poem. Thank You Meenakshi for helping me out with this :-)

 The English translation is as follows:


scattered gazes
immersed in thoughts
scribbling fate
I turn around
wounds hurt
they wish to fly
I long for wings
to fulfill all your dreams

  16. Two words- "Simply superb!!"
    The phrases "कलम की सियाही से करवट" and "घावों को उड़ने की ख्वाइश" refuse to leave my mind...
