A Diamond Said Hello

Just when I gave up on hearts filled with black coal;
A shinning diamond peeped out and said Hello.

Kaale koyle se bhare dilon se jee  uktaya thaa aaj fir,
ek heere ne awaaz dee aur kaha main bhee' hoon!

(The Hindi/Urdu version is not a literal translation. The flow of the two languages is distinct).

Spring

Sweet spring is in the air. 
Sun like a vintage yellow bulb is shining through the rain; and rain drops are falling through the half sleepy sun.
You and I lie on the grass counting the 'new born baby leaves' (pallavs) and staring at the shy sky on which the trees seem to be neatly embroidered.
