धुंधलाती हुई परछाई के पीछे
सूरज की किरणों ने दिन को किया अलविदा
जो जाते जाते छोड़ गयी अपनी लाली
मनो आँचल तले शर्माती दुल्हन
घरोंदो की ओर उड़ते परिंदे
ने अपनी चहक की शहनाई बजाई
सारा गुलशन स्वागत में लग गया
रात की चादर ने अपना आँचल फैलाया
तारे सारे थे बाराती जो
झिलमिल करते नाचे झूमे
शर्माती और मुस्कुराती
चाँद ने बादलों के पीछे से
दिखाई अपनी एक झलक
उसकी रौशनी ने किया सबको मदहोश
फिर क्या था, दूल्हे राजा बादलजी ने
अपनी चांदनी को छिपा लिया बाँहों में
किया दोनों ने प्यार भरी बातें रात भर
सवेरे होते ही चाँद चल दी ससुराल
जो था पृथ्वी के उस पार !
Behind the evanescent shadows
the rays of the sun bid adieu to the day
which left a trail of vermilion hue
as if a blushing bride under a veil
birds flying back to their nests
playing a chirpy musical band
the horizon garnering to welcome
the expansive night sky
with the glittering stars
who were the twinkling guests
coy, demure and smiling
the moon unveiled a glimpse of her blushing face
her radiant light left all in awe
marching ahead, the groom Mr. Cloud
embraced his beloved in his arms
they spent the night cradled in love
at dawn the moon left for her husband’s abode
which was on the other side of the earth!
Bahut badhiya & equally good in the Queen’s language, too!
