Kis Kis Ka Moo Band Karoge, Kis Kis Ko Samjhao-ge (Live Version) - TheLegend.NFAK

I beheld thee in the innocent bloom of spring,  
I beheld thee in the stars' eternal ring.  
My beloved, by thy modest veil's decree,  
I beheld thee amidst the tears' cruel sea.

The night of sorrow knows no dawning light,  
And if it does, it finds no place in sight.  
O life, be thou brief and sweet, I pray,  
But the sorrowful night shall not fade away.

The fabric of existence, in disarray,  
Yet this trial, too, shall pass its way.  
My heart’s repose was meant for decay,  
Yet even their glance brought harm to stay.

I gazed upon him, and the dawn did break,  
He gazed upon me, and the end did wake.

What eyes hath he cast upon me this day,  
That his glance shall never fade away?

Mine own sight met his, and I did lose my grace,  
I had to leave all, for his embrace.

Thou hast betrayed me, O false one, with thy lies,  
Why does the world itself betray and sigh?

We hold no faith in rituals or prayer,  
But when I beheld thee, God’s name filled the air.

What is life, if it be to live or die,  
To be angered by thee has become my cry.

When thou didst halt, the pulse of life did cease,  
When thou didst move, 'twas as if the end brought peace.

No peace the heart finds, not for a single breath,  
What is a fleeting meeting, if it leads to death?

My life, once wise, now lost in foolish chase,  
Devoted to a heart that hath lost its grace.

What did the eyes and hearts discover, when they met,  
When both sides of me found 'Saajid's' regret?

O' King of all good, I am going insane
Its time You came and eased my pain

My love! Your absence I cannot endure
My pang of love only You can cure

None of youth and beauty will remain
So an old man like me, You should not disdain

Word of Hafiz Shirazi

'' Botal Khuli Hai Raqs Mein Jam-e-Sharab Hai
Woh To Khaliq Hai Banda Parwar Hai
Sari Duniya Ka Rab-e-Akbar Hai
Mera Sarmaya-e-Hayat Na Pooch
Ek Saqi Hai, Ek Sagar Hai

The bottle is open and dancing is the glass of wine
He is the Creator and the Benefactor so divine
God of entire creation he is so great
On source of my life, what can I state?
Cup-bearer is one and sole, so is the bowl ''

Slow fire of longing—wealth beyond compare;
I will not change my prayer‐mat for Heaven’s chair!

Ill fits this world of Your freemen, ill the next:
Death’s hard yoke frets them here, life’s hard yoke there.

Close veils inflame the loiterer in Love’s lane;
Your long reluctance fans my passion’s flare.

The hawk lives out his days in rocks and desert,
Tame nest‐twig‐carrying his proud claws forswear.

Was it book‐lesson, or father’s glance, that taught
The son of Abraham what son should bear?

Bold hearts, firm souls, come pilgrim to my tomb;
I taught poor dust to tower hill‐high in air.

Truth has no need of me for tiring‐maid;
To stain the tulip red is Nature’s care.

Slow Fire Of Longing, Wealth Beyond Compare (Words of Iqbal) - Mohammad Ali Fareedi

More Nain Piya
Sang Laag Rahe

Beloved is within my eyes 
May this affect remain!

Mohe Hosh Nahi 
Ab Tann Mann Ka

I have no consciousness
Now over my body and soul

Mohe Sudh Budh Sagri Bhool Gayee
Mukh Daikh Ke Apne Sajan Ka

Presence of my mind is no longer 
O' after a sight of my sweetheart’s face

Hearken to the tale of Love’s [metaphysical] perplexity:
Neither the ardour of madness remained,
Neither the angelic beloved remained;
Neither did thou remain, neither did I remain,
Only (undifferentiated) unawareness remained.

The Shah of no-self-ness has now bestowed upon me
The garment of nakedness;
Neither the stitching of reason remained,
Neither the veiling of madness’ ardour remained.

A wind blew from the threshold of the unseen,
And the garden of bliss was consumed.
Yet, but a branch of the tree of sorrow
Known as the heart― green remained.

With which tongue am I to recount the indifference of the beloved?
Desire akin to the wine of a hundred goblets brimmed up
In the vessel of the heart yet, therein remained.

What a marvellous instant it was that I learned of the elixir of Love!
The book of reason placed on the shelf,
On the shelf remained.

The intensity of the perplexity of your beauty,
Was so brilliantly revealed, that
Neither the mirror’s shine remained,
Neither the angelic beloved’s beauty remained.

The fire of love has reduced the mute heart of *Siraj to ashes,
Neither fright remained,
Nor caution remained,
Only fearlessness remained.

*Siraj Awrangabadi (1715–1763 CE)
