Anchorage – Holding on to Time (English & Hindi)

Time! What are you

That you change not for aeons 

And then, in an instant, change life and are gone 

Time! I cannot fathom you

That you pass not for centuries and an age

But when your time does come, pass over in nary a moment

Samay! Kya cheez hai tu

Main samajh na paoo

Sadiyon tak tham sa jaata hai

Aur palak jhapakte hi sab badal kar chala jata hai 

Samay! yeh kaisi fitrat hain teri

Jo sadiyon tak, yugon tak guzre nahi 

Samay aate hi, par 

Beet jaye kshan bhar!

Grateful for her presence and enthusiasm… with the number of drinks I owe her,
I’m going to need to start saving big! 🙂
