फ़ानी (ILLUSION)

फ़ानी (illusion)

कहते हैं ज्ञानी, 

दुनिया है फ़ानी

पानी पे लिखी लिखायी

है सबकी देखी, है सबकी जानी

हाथ किसीके न आयी

Movie: Guide

Lyrics: Shailendra

Learned people say,

this world is just an illusionary play.

Everything you stumble

upon, is written on,

an ephemeral bubble.

Even though, seen by all, 

And also, known to all,

yet nobody could lay their hands on.

Translation Vishal Dhingra

I had taken this shot, in a marketplace, in Prague, CK, where a street performer was blowing soap bubbles of various sizes and colours. This was attracting the children who were exuberantly chasing it, to get  hold it, as though it was a solid ball. It would burst, immediately as they touched it but that did not deter them from chasing again, in hope of getting hold of it, for good.
