The Look

The Look

Strephon kissed me in the spring,
Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.

Strephon's kiss was lost in jest,
Robin's lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin's eyes
Haunts me night and day.

-Sara Teasdale

Uski Aankhon Ki Chummi

Strephon nay mujhay baharon main chuuma
Robin nay chuuma patjhar main
Lakin Colin nay mujhay sirf dekha
Chuumi-wuumi ki koee baat na thee

Strephon ki chuumi mazak main thee
Robin ki thee hansi khel main
Lakin Colin ki chah bhari aankhain
aati hain din raat aankhon kay saamnay
