English Translation:

Ishq hai khuda ki pehchan
(Love is the depiction of God)
Farishton ka hai yeh bayaan
(It is the discourse of the Angels)
Ishq se zameen asman
(Love holds the sky and the earth within)

Asheqi angar ki birai 
( If love is a Fire )
Mashooq gulsambar ki birai
(If beloved is a spring-flower) 
Haseen parchamdar ki birai
(With soft and beautiful leaflets)

Ishqa se pului behchurey
(A lover will rejoice buring in the fire of love ) 
Hamish tan burui behchurey
His soul will always keep melting with it.
Hardi beer ului behchurey
(His Heart will keep flying )

Jale Mora Man
(My heart burns)
More sajan 
(O beloved!)
Rasta na Koi 
(There is no way out)
Main hui birhan 
(I am a shattered being)

Haye yeh majburi
(O this helplessness)
Kaisi hai duri 
(Why is there a separation?)
Dastaan yeh kaisi 
(Why this story end up like this ?)
Reh gayi adhuri
(Why we have become partitioned)

Ishq hai khuda ki pehchan
(Love is the depiction of God)
Farishton ka hai yeh bayaan
(It is the discourse of the Angels)
Ishq se zameen asman
(Love holds the sky and the earth within)

Jungle'a shotara asum
( I am wondering in Jungle and deserts )
Umeed aitbara asum
(Surviving in the hope and trust of you ) 
Nishi intizara asum
( I am waiting with a conviction)

Jale mora man 
Mere sajan
Rasta na koi 
Main hui birhan

Hoi khyo ta posheen 
( The time I saw you ) 
hardiyo bateen 
(Oo the beat of my heart)
Ma hush hoi boteen
( My senses have been tied ) 
Harush tu haseen 
(That is how charismatically beautiful you are)

Ta choom hosik, bo zalim, 
(Your witty smile is cruel inside)
Ta choom hosik, ma bo khosh,
( Oh your smile, the most loveable thing ) 
Ta roi marik, ma bo khosh ta choom hosik
(People die over it and I love are way you smile )

Ishq Daryah - Audio Teaser

#IshqDaryah by Irfan Ali Taj​  is a musical representation of a deep emotional feelings of a lover. The Lyrics tells about the honesty and struggle that the lover is going through, and how is he looking at the failures and making them his strengths.

The Genre is #ContemporaryFolk , which has been ignored by our industry completely. Due to the which  the pure #Pakistani folk music is slowly fading off the Music Industry and very less artists are interested in contributing their efforts to pass it to our coming generation. Irfan has a vision to bring life to our folk music and show it to the world, and #IshqDarya is first collective effort in this regard. Thanks to AAIM for giving us the opportunity to present our song on such a huge platform.

Don't pay heed, though many are your detractors,

Life consists of two days!

-Gologh chuchu Boni yomuntu ki prai 
Streams run dry in winter,
-Hardi usak mo baar insano kyawat 
Never may a human heart grow cold!
-Ei mohtaram hase insaan Reko bash 
One who commands respect as a human,
-Ka zindagia koste gham ki no prai 
Never has caused anyone anguish! 

-Tu khoshani boxhe hosawe safo
Thou shalt spread happiness, bless everyone with laughter,

Since this life will not be lived again!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 

I am Abd Al Salam 
but if I am Unhappy with this company 
I will leave this assembly 
And return to its once more 

If you desire that I open upon you 
the vision of the door of (Divine) secrets,
Become a disciple of my heart
in the school of (Authoritative) instruction.

If you desire to see my face
open wide you inner eye,
For the outer eye sees nothing 
but my timeworn body.

If you desire to know me
know your self first,
For I know those
Who know me.

While I resemble a drop 
that has come out from the sea, 
if you recognise the drop
you'll know that I am the sea
(Translate from Persian by Muntazir Ali Baba )
