Triveni

 1. 

बात  करते  करते वो  शख्स,

अपने आँसुओं को पी गया |

सुना है मरुस्थल में मरुद्यान दिखा है|

-पायल 

That person, while talking,

Drank his tears.

I've heard, an oasis has appeared in the desert.

-payal

2.

इश्क़ के अंदाज़ निराले हैं

आँखों से हर बात जताते हैं

आज दिन में चाँद निकला है.

-पायल 

Love's style is unique.

eyes tell everything.

Today the moon has come out in the day.

-payal

3.  

उसकी  मुस्कुराहट को देखकर

 फूल भी मुस्कुराने लगते हैं

 समुद्र में सुनामी आयी थी.

-पायल 

seeing her smile

 even flowers smile

 There was a tsunami in the sea.

4. 

 कल की बात थी

  आज में ढल गयी

 अब ज़लज़ला आया है.

 -पायल 

A talk of yesterday

Has melted in today

Now the earthquake has come.

-payal

P.S.  Triveni is a form that Gulzar began experimenting with in the mid-1960s. It gets its name from the fact that it is composed of three lines. It is different from other three-line forms like the haiku and senryu, which have a fixed limit on the syllable count and in essence describe one image.

As Gulzar says, “I called it Triveni because the first two lines meet like the Ganga and the Yamuna and complete a thought, it forms a poem on its own. But beneath the two there is the subterranean flow of another, the Saraswati. Hidden. Not visible to the eye. The Triveni intends to reveal the Saraswati. The third line, lost in the first two, either changes the meaning of the poem altogether, its focus, or gives it a surprising twist, in the process creating an entirely new poem altogether.’
