AJOOBA

phuulo.n me.n jo khushbuu hai kaise voh aatii hai ajuuba	Where does the fragrance in flowers come from? It's a miracle.
titlii kahaa.n se ye saare ra.ng laatii hai.n ajuuba	Whence do the butterflies bring all these colors? It's a miracle.
hawaa ko bansuurii banaatii hai sa.ngiit kaise ajuuba	How does the flute make air into music? It's a miracle.
koyal ne siikhe hai.n itne pyaare giit kaise ajuuba	How does a cuckoo learn so many lovely songs? It's a miracle.
hai ye ajuube lekin ik aur ajuuba hai	There's one more miracle to add to all these:
dhartii se a.mbar se parbat se saagar se	From the earth, from the sky, from the mountains, from the sea,
hamne suna pyaar ajuuba hai	I have heard that love is a miracle.
pahalii nazar me.n hii jo dilo.n me.n ho	In the first glance that strikes two hearts,
har voh qaraar ajuuba hai	each agreement is a miracle.
phuulo.n se jo khushbuu aaye ajuuba	The fragrance that comes from flowers is a miracle;
titlii jo saare ra.ng laaye ajuuba hai	the colors brought by butterflies is a miracle.
bansuurii ka yeh sa.ngiit ajuuba hai	This music of the flute is a miracle.
koyal jo gaate hai.n giit ajuuba hai	The song the cuckoos sing is a miracle.
Daalii me.n mahak hotii hii nahii.n	There is no fragrance in a branch of a tree,
kaliyo.n me.n mahak aa jaatii hai	but fragrance rises from flower buds.
yeh bhii ajuuba hii hai	This itself is a miracle.
saagar se ghaTa jo uTHtii hai	The clouds that rise from the sea
miiTHa paanii barastii hai	shower down sweet water;
yeh bhii ajuuba hii hai	This itself is a miracle.
ja.ngal me.n jugnuu.n ko dekho to yeh socho	Look at a firefly in the forest, and think:
yeh roshnii is me.n aa'ii kaise	how did this light come to it?
tan me.n jo hai jaan voh kis tarah hai	How does life animate a body?
man me.n hai armaan voh kis tarah hai	How does desire animate a heart?
kah bhii do yeh bhii to koii ajuuba hai	Just say that these too are miracles.
dhartii se a.mbar se parbat se saagar se	From the earth, from the sky, from the mountains, from the sea,
hamne suna pyaar ajuuba hai	I have heard that love is a miracle.
pahalii nazar me.n hii jo dilo.n me.n ho	In the first glance that strikes two hearts,
har voh qaraar ajuuba hai	each agreement is a miracle.
phuulo.n se jo khushbuu aaye ajuuba	The fragrance that comes from flowers is a miracle;
titlii jo saare ra.ng laaye ajuuba hai	the colors brought by butterflies is a miracle.
bansuurii ka yeh sa.ngiit ajuuba hai	This music of the flute is a miracle.
koyal jo gaate hai.n giit ajuuba hai	The song the cuckoos sing is a miracle.
yeh bhii hairaan hai giit ajuuba hai	This too is astonishing; this song is a miracle.
ajuuba...	A miracle...
kahne ko saat ajuube hai.n par shaayad log yeh bhuule hai.n	To speak of it, there are only seven wonders, but perhaps people forget this:
ek aur ajuuba bhii hai	there is one more wonder:
resham resham cha.ndan cha.ndan tera mahaka mahaka yeh badan	your silken, sandalwood, scented body
koii ajuuba hii hai	is some miracle in itself.
aa.nkho.n ke niile darpaN ho.nTHo.n ka yeh bhiigaapan	The blue mirrors of your eyes, the moistness of your lips...
yeh ruup tera ajuuba hii to hai	this form of yours is a miracle in itself.
baa.nho.n kii garmii yeh bhii ajuuba hai	The warmth of your embrace is also a miracle;
haa.ntho.n kii narmii yeh bhii ajuuba hai	the softness of your hands is a miracle too;
yeh chaman sa badan koii ajuuba hai	this body like a garden is a miracle.
dhartii se a.mbar se parbat se saagar se	From the earth, from the sky, from the mountains, from the sea,
hamne suna pyaar ajuuba hai	I have heard that love is a miracle.
pahalii nazar me.n hii jo dilo.n me.n ho	In the first glance that strikes two hearts,
har voh qaraar ajuuba hai	each agreement is a miracle.
phuulo.n se jo khushbuu aaye ajuuba	The fragrance that comes from flowers is a miracle;
titlii jo saare ra.ng laaye ajuuba hai	the colors brought by butterflies is a miracle.
bansuurii ka yeh sa.ngiit ajuuba hai	This music of the flute is a miracle.
koyal jo gaate hai.n giit ajuuba hai	The song the cuckoos sing is a miracle.
yeh bhii hairaan hai jis pe tum voh ajuuba ho	And the one to whom you are a miracle finds it astonishing as well.
