Tanam Farsooda Jaan Para - NFAK - Naat-e-Rasool - تنم فرسودہ جاں پارہ

Several readers have asked where they can find the audio. It is part of a collection entitled "Sufi Qawwalis" and the reason you may have difficulty to google it is because the track is called "Naat-e-Rasool" not Tanam Farsooda. This rendition is particularly special to me because of the satisfying alaap. An introduction that is common to qawwali and differs in almost every rendition depending on the mood the qawwal sets at that particular occasion.

If one listens carefully and deliberately to all the words in the preamble then the repetition of verses (Pashaema ya Rasool-Allah..) has an even greater impact.

Tanam Farsooda jaa para
Ze Hijra Ya Rasulullah
Dillam Paz Murda Aawara

تنم فرسودہ جاں پارہ
ز ہجراں، یا رسول اللہ ۖ
دلم پژمردہ آوارہ
ز عصیاں، یا رسول اللہ ۖ

My body is dissolving in your separation
And my soul is breaking into pieces. Ya Rasulullah!
Due to my sins, My heart is weak and becoming enticed. Ya Rasulullah!

Choon Soo’e Mun Guzar Aari
Manne Miskeen Zanaa Daari
Fida-E-Naqsh-E-Nalainat
Kunam Ja. Ya Rasulullah!

چوں سوۓ من گذر آری،
من مسکین ز ناداری فداۓ نقش نعلینت
کنم جاں، یا رسول اللہ ۖ

When you pass by me
Then even in my immense poverty, ecstatically,
I must sacrifice my soul on your blessed sandal. Ya Rasulullah!

Ze Jaame Hubb To Mustam
Ba Zanjeere To Dil Bustam
Nu’mi Goyam Ke Mun Bustum
Sukun Daa. Ya Rasulullah!

زجام حب تو مستم ،
با زنجیر تو دل بستم
نمی گویم کی من بستم
سخنداں، یا رسول اللہ ۖ

I am drowned in the taste of your love
And the chain of your love binds my heart.
Yet I don’t say that I know this language (of love). Ya Rasulullah!

Ze Kharda Khaish Hairaanam
Siyaa Shud Roze Isyaanam
Pashemaanam, Pashemaanam, Pashemaanam. Ya Rasulullah!

ز کردہ خیش حیرانم،
سیاہ شد روز عصیانم پشیمانم، پشیمانم،
پشیمانم، یا رسول اللہ ۖ

I am worried due to my misdeeds;
And I feel that my sins have blackened my heart. Ya Rasulullah!
I am in distress! I am in distress! I am in distress! Ya Rasulullah!

Choon Baazoo’e Shafaa’at Raa
Khushaa’I Bar Gunaagara
Makun Mahruume Jaami Raa
Daraa Aan. Ya Rasulullah!

چوں بازوۓ شفاعت را
کشا بر گناہگاراں
مکن محروم جامی را
در آں، یا رسول اللہ

Ya Rasulullah! When you spread your hands to intercede for the sinners,
Then do not deprive Jaami of your exalted intercession.
