GHAZAL

Shor - E - Matam parha hei alam men
Ajo vo admi nehin ham men

Is zamaney ki saz - Bei Awaz
Na koi dum raha hei is dum men

So vo insan ho geya pagal
jis ko jannat mili jehannam men

Ham nei bhi tarq kur diya sab kuchh
badhavasi men, nashey men, gham men

Ub na vo soz hei na vo ansoon
kya jitao gei esey mosam men

Ghamza - O - Ishva - O - Ada dekhhi
dekhh kur tujh ko chashm - E - Anjum men

Too chhupa hei na tera ishq chhupa
tera hi rang sab hei shabnam men

Jhilmilata hei aks sa tera
terey ashiq ki chashm - E - Purnam men

Men nehi tha vo or tha koi
*phans geya tha jo zulf - E - Barham men
*

Log pitey hen jam - E - Jahl Rehan
kuchh milatey barha hen Zam Zam men

The entire world is noisome in mourning
Today that man is not amongst us
The music of this age - Has no voice
nor has its life any life in it
So that man has turned mad for he thinks
he has found a heaven in this hell
As for us we have given up everything
in senselessness, drunkenness, torment
That concentration of emotion those tears are no more
what use your reminding us in such a state
We have seen the amorous glances, the coquetries, the charms
when we saw you through the eyes of the stars
You are not unseen nor your love hidden
the colour of the dew is that of you
A kind of reflection of you dwindles in the tears
that one sees in your lovers’ eyes
It wasn’t me it was some other
that got tangled in your locks
People drink from flasks of ignorance Rehan
they diluted too much of something in the Zam Zam [Holy Water]
