Aamadey Bey Qatl-e-Mann - Amir Khusrau


   Ustad Iftekhar Ahmad Qawwal
What an amazingly beautiful recital by Ustad Iftekhar Ahmad Qawwal @ Anees Miyan's Mehfil (Urs of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya in 2011). A truly emotive experience.

Aamadey bey qatl-e-mann, en shokh sitamgari
Een turfa tamasha been, na karda gunah gaare

Gar nam-o-nishan-e-mann, pur sang be go qasid
Awara-o-majnoon ne, rusva sar-e-bazari

Ae isiye bimara, dar hijr-e-ranj o ram
Shayad na khabardari, az halat-e-bimari

 Khwahi ke shifa baashad, beemar-e-mohbbat ra
Gar jura khuda raze, az sharbat-e-deedare

 Dar lazat-e-deedar ash, khusrau che to a guftam
Sar dadam uja dadam, na deeda rukh-e-yaare

 ~ Amir Khusrau
