تشنگی

دیکھیے کس حسن سے

dekhiye kis husn se

پوشیدہ غم کا راز ہے

posheeda gham ka raaz hai.

تیر میرے دل میں ہے

teer mere dil mein hai

پردے میں تیر انداز ہے۔

Aaj mehfil mein tere zikr pey dharka bhi nahi

Dil, jo kambakht tere naam pey mar mit’ta tha!

But who can remember pain once it’s over? All that remains of it is a shadow, not in the mind even, in the flesh.

Tu bohat dair se mila hai mujhey I spent so much of it without meeting you

Tu muhabbat se koi chaal to chal To talk about love and to wish for love

Haar jane ka hosla hai mujhay And just how courageous am I, Don’t be afraid to get lost

Hum'safar chahiye hujoom nahi I want a companion not a crowd

Aik musafir bhi qafila hai mujhay A co traveler is like a caravan for me

Dil dharakta nahi sulagta hai The heart beats no more but burns

Woh jo khawahish thi aabla hai mujhay The desire in it has turned into a blister

Lab kusha huun tu iss yaqeen kay saath I speak out in full confidence that

Qatal honay ka hausla hai mujhay I have the courage of facing death

Kaun janay ke chahto'n may Faraz Who knows in these yearnings oh ‘Faraz’

Kya ganwaya hai kya mila hai mujhay What has been lost and what has been gained?

obo pashantey dee.

zra me khugegi na,

swazi.
