Re: Raaton mein gar na ashk bahauun to kyaa karun

Since no one else translated, this loosely means:

You tell me, if life itself has left me
Then why should I not embrace death, what else can I do?

Re: Raaton mein gar na ashk bahauun to kyaa karun

the lover asks the beloved to be fair and just in answering his/her querry. the question is: when life forsakes/abandons someone then why he/she shouldn't embrace death?

Re: Raaton mein gar na ashk bahauun to kyaa karun

Both of you are right but the way I look at it is that he is saying that she is his life and when she (his life) has left him than why should he not embrace death.

^ I agree Ehsan bhai.

I provided a very literal translation because I think finding and understanding a deeper meaning is left to each individual - it goes back to the fact that there are many layers within poetry :)

Thanks!

very true...i gave the literal meaning only and indeed sha'iri has its implied meanings as well. aap ne ishq e majaazii kii taraf ishaara kiyaa hai magar ishq e Haqeeqii par bhii yaksaaN laazim aataa hai. shukria.**
