Tanha
Sa
Apne
khwaabon ka rukh kuch toh modiye,
Koi toh sira mere bhujte naseeb se jodiye..
Ki
pighalti shama bhi kitni behtar hai,
Usko
roshan hue chilman ki nazar muyassir hai..
Dhalta din nashtar yun chubhota hai,
Ki
apne mehboob ke aagosh main jakr woh sota hai..
Par ab tadap kabeel-e- bardasht lagne lagi,
Ki inteha-e-intezaar ko bohot umar ho chali..
Fir
bhi apka yun akele sona badastoor khalta hai,
Dil aaj bhi khaali bistar par bache sa machalta hai..
Main
bhi wahin aap ke paas ba’araam so jata,
Koi
toh kona qabr ka apne khaali rakha hota!
Sadia, this is an amazing write. Glad that I chanced upon your blog.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'm glad to have you here...Thanks a lot :)
Deletecan i get a translation so i can appreciate it too? smiles. i would run it through the translator but that might lose some meaning...the sounds are wonderful
ReplyDeleteWell, Brian..I would love to...but beauty of rhymes might get a miss..anyway, here it is :)
Deletewake up from your dream, and
connect with my drooping fate
melting wax is far better
it gets the glimpse of the lightened curtain
setting day teases me, too
it gets to sleep in the lap of its beloved
still the pain has subsided a bit
for it has been a long time since i wait
but your sleeping alone kills my joy
like a child i sleep restlessly on my lone bed
i could've slept with you thereto
if only you would have left a bit space in your grave...
it's the exact translation of the Urdu Poem..hence, might have lost it's luster...Urdu is the most beautiful language on earth, Brian...wish you could read it *Sigh*
smiles...while i would love to hear the orignal, i get the message in your words...and i will just appreciate the way it flows together in my mind...smiles.
