Khabaram raseed imshab ki nigaar khuahi aamad - خبرم رسید امشب کہ نگار خواہی آمد

bohat achhay andaz mein pardha hai ye hazrat amir khusrau ka kalam
These qawwals are sons of Ustad Bahauddin Khansaheb


Najmuddin Saifuddin Qawwal from Karachi recite Khusrau

Khabaram raseed imshab ki nigaar khuahi aamad;
Sar-e man fidaa-e raah-e ki sawaar khuahi aamad.
Ham-e aahwan-e sehra sar-e khud nihada bar kaf;
Ba-umeed aanki rozi bashikaar khuahi aamad.
Kashishi ki ishq daarad naguzaradat badinsaa;
Ba-janazah gar nayai ba-mazaar khuahi aamad.
Balabam raseed jaanam fabiya ki zindah maanam;
Pas azan ki man na-maanam bacha kar khuahi aaamad.

خبرم رسید امشب کہ نگار خواہی آمدسرِ من فدائے راہے کہ سوار خواہی آمد

بہ لبم رسیدہ جانم تو بیا کہ زندہ مانمپس ازاں کہ من نمانم بہ چہ کار خواہی آمدہمہ آہوانِ صحرا سرِ خود نہادہ بر کفبہ امید آنکہ روزے بشکار خواہی آمد

بیک آمدن ربودی دل و دین و جانِ خسروچہ شود اگر بدینساں دو سہ بار خواہی آمد

English Translation:

Tonight there came a news that you, oh beloved, would come –
Be my head sacrificed to the road along which you will come riding!
All the gazelles of the desert have put their heads on their hands
In the hope that one day you will come to hunt them….
The attraction of love won’t leave you unmoved;
Should you not come to my funeral,
you’ll definitely come to my grave.
My soul has come on my lips (e.g. I am on the point of expiring);
Come so that I may remain alive -
After I am no longer – for what purpose will you come?

Khabaram Raseed Imshab - Amir Khusraw

Khabaram Raseeda Imshab by NFAK from Tasawwuf on Vimeo.

Khabaram raseed imshab key nigaar khaahi aamad;
Sar-e man fidaa-ey raahee key sawaar khaahi aamad.

Ham-e aahooan-e sahra sar-e khud nihadeh bar kaf;
Bay-umeed e aan key roozi bay shekaar khaahi aamad.

Kashish ee kay ishq daarad
naguzarad at badin saa;
Bey jenazeh gar na ayai bey mazaar khaahi aamad.

Bey labam raseedey jaanam to biya key zindeh maanam;
Pas azan key man na-maanam bey chekaar khahi aaamad

English Translation.

Tonight came the news that my beloved would arrive soon
Be my head sacrificed to the path on which you come riding!

All the gazelles of the desert have put their heads on their hands
In the hope that one day you will come to hunt them….
The attraction of love won’t leave you unmoved;
Should you not come to my funeral,
you’ll definitely come to my grave.
My soul has come on my lips (e.g. I am on the point of expiring);
Come so that I may remain alive -
After I am no longer – for what purpose will you come?

The seduction that love contains will not leave things to this end
Even if you dont come to my funeral, you will one day come to my grave-side

My life hangs on my lips, come so that I remain alive
For after I remain no more to what avail will your arriving be

With but one appearance you stole Khusraus heart, faith and soul
What will happen if news has reached me tonight that the beloved will arrive

May my head be the sacrifice of a road,
for she will arrive by riding
All the gazelles of the desert have laid their heads on the (sacrificial) stone In the hope that one day you will arrive for the hunt
