If You Have Eagerness In Your Heart Poem by Javed Akhtar

If You Have Eagerness In Your Heart

Rating: 3.9


If you have eagerness in your heart, it means you are alive,
If your eyes are filled with dreams, it means you are alive
Learn to be free like the wind,
Learn to flow freely like the river,
Embrace every moment with open arms,
See a new horizon every time with your eyes,
If you carry surprise in your eyes, it means you are alive,
If you have eagerness in your heart, it means you are alive…

Very truly said. If there is eagerness in heart, it is evident that life is flowing on its course. A very beautiful poem. Liked it immensely. Since the current treasure island topic on PH is on ‘ Peace, ’ I invite you to read my poem entitled ‘ A Nice Wise Guy, ’ on PH

this is excellent but if only you had shared in your original Urdu form and kindly keep our hearts by a smile if not a reply poetry loses its original sheen, stability, when translated we all hanker for lovely moments in their nascent form kindly dwell a bit more do say how moments pass for many as silently while for others moments laugh away

Listening so many of his songs as a Hindi speaker I can definitely say translations never leave same impressions. Each word carries a certain intensity according to its sound, meaning and its cultural use. Translations often miss that. Good to see Javedji recognized here at PH.

Jo apni aankhon mein hayraniya leke chal rahe ho Toh zinda ho tum Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho Toh zinda ho tum

Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise azaad rehno seekho Tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna seekho Har ek lamhe se tum milo khole apni baahein Har ek pal ek naya samaa dekhe yeh nigaahein

Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho Toh zinda ho tum Nazar mein khwaabon ki bijliyan leke chal rahe ho Toh zinda ho tum Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise azaad rehno seekho
