Voh Soorat e Ilahi, Kis Des Basteeyan Hein
Voh soorat e Ilahi, kis des basteeyan hein
Ab jin ke daikhney ko, aankhein tarasteeyan hein
Barsat ka to moasam kab ka nIkal gaya par
Mijgan ki ye ghattayein ab tak barasteeyan hein
Kyonkar na ho ye zakhmee, sheesha sa dil humara
Os shoakh ki nigahein, pathhar mein dhansteeyan hein
Qeemat un ki go ham, do jug ko dey chuke hein
Os yaar ki nigaahein, iss par bhi sasteeyan hein
Jab mein kaha os se, sauda ko apne mil ke
Iss saal tu hai saaqi, aur mein-parasteeyan hein
Voh soorat e Ilahi, kis des basteeyan hein
Ab jin ke daikhney ko, aankhein tarasteeyan hein
Poetry: Mirza Rafi Sauda

------------My friend Capt. Shayan Haqqee and I made this memorable day trip to Skardu back in the autumn of 2007. We briefly got off and took a drive towards the Shangrila resort and then returned to take the flight back an hour later. The aerial shots and images iof landscapes n the video slideshow are of that day.

Beautiful. Any idea who the lyricist was?
I understand the Urdu- but what actually is being conveyed?
This welled up my eyes. A translation would be appreciated!
Loved it!
Many thanks for sharing.
