Aankh se Door na ho Dil se Utar Jaaye ga - Ahmad Faraz

Recital: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan


Aankh se door na ho, dil se utar jaaye ga
Waqt ka kya hai, guzarta hai, guzar jaaye ga,

Itna maayus na ho, Khilvat-e-Gham se apni,
Tu kabhi Khud ko bhi dekhe ga, to Dar jaaye ga,

Tum sar e raah-e-wafaa dekhte rah jaao ge,
Aur wo baam-e-rafaaqat se utar jaye ga,

Zindagi teri aata hai, to ye jaane waala,
Teri bakhsheesh teri dehleez pe dhar jaye ga,

Doobte doobte kashti to ochalaa de doon,
Main nahi koi to, saahil pe utar jaaye ga,

Zabt laazim hai magar, dukh hai qayaamat ka Faraz,
Zaalim ab ke bhi na, roye ga to mar jaye ga

~ Ahmad Faraz

Amir Khusrau's Love Poetry sung by Farid Ayaz & Abu Muhammad Qawwals

Nami danam chi manzil bood shab jaay ki man boodam;
Baharsu raqs-e bismil bood shab jaay ki man boodam.
Pari paikar nigaar-e sarw qadde laala rukhsare;
Sarapa aafat-e dil bood shab jaay ki man boodam.
Khuda khud meer-e majlis bood andar laamakan Khusrau;
Muhammad shamm-e mehfil bood shab jaay ki man boodam.

Translation:

I wonder what was the place where I was last night,
All around me were half-slaughtered victims of love,
tossing about in agony.
There was a nymph-like beloved with cypress-like form
and tulip-like face,
Ruthlessly playing havoc with the hearts of the lovers.
God himself was the master of ceremonies in that heavenly court,
oh Khusrau, where (the face of) the Prophet too was shedding light
like a candle.

(trans. S.A.H.Abidi)
