آج مل کر بھی ان سے نا کچھ بات کی - استاد نصرت فتح علی خان

Aaj mil kar bhi un say na kuch baat ki - Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

What is this restlessness of day and night, this bliss of eternity?
Except for the love of the Prophet (pbuh), what flows from these eyes with such clarity?

Why do the distances from the city of Muhammad (pbuh) never shrink?
I often wonder, what lies between us in this sacred link?

My dwelling is safe, for His grace still endures,
I was but naive, unaware of the paths, the trials, the cures.
Yet my Protector, the Compassionate, preserved my honour pure,
He never allowed me to falter, He kept me secure.

The door to His presence is never closed to the forsaken,
It always remains open, for mercy is never mistaken.

My refuge stands intact, His grace ever enduring,
Had it not been for my courage, my strength would be failing, unsure and blurring.

To one who feels the gentle drizzle of his Prophet’s (pbuh) name,
What use is the shelter of a dark cloud, or the tempest’s claim?

The banners of His glory unfold, surpassing even Sidra’s height,
What are the heavens and the earth, what are realms of time and light?

Yeh Nahin Dil Main Ho Teri Har Nazar Mere Liye (Live 1989) - TheLegend.NFAK

Tore Prem Se Simroon Hardam, Saason Ki Mala Tore Naam (Live Version) - TheLegend.NFAK

I have become the tavern, my eyes now filled with fire,  
The dark clouds of my hair have gathered in desire.  
What hath become of my intoxication, profound?  
Life itself, now a drunken rapture, where peace is not found.

Without permission, my lips yearn for thy kiss,  
I am troubled, lost in this sweet, boundless bliss.  
In my senses, no strength to resist such delight,  
In my helplessness, a sin hath taken flight.

First, a glance, a smile, then turning away,  
Countless hearts have bled, in thy gaze they lay.  
Thy every movement, a silent plea,  
In thy gestures, countless wounds do I see.

Through the streets, thou walkest with a gentle sway,  
Like a wine-drinker lost in his careless way.  
Since thy tresses touched mine with such grace,  
The breeze itself hath turned to madness in this place.

Without cure, thou hast healed me so,  
Look how with a smile, thou hast made me whole.  
Thine eyes have raised me, with a glance so pure,  
The remedy for my sorrow is found in thee, I am sure.

In every vein, thy ecstasy flows,  
The worries of life and death now all oppose.  
Since I entered the tavern, my fate hath been changed,  
What once was life, now feels most strange.

Love hath shown me a wondrous sight,  
How fate doth shift and change in its might.  
O 'Fana,' thou hast made me mad with thy glance,  
Now in thy gaze, all things find their trance.

Maikada Ban Gayie Mast Aankhein, Zulf Kali Ghata Ho Gayie Hai (Live Version) - TheLegend.NFAK

In love's fierce fire, my heart did burn,  
You lit the flame, and to it, I did return.  

If love lacks longing, it’s not truly real,  
A heart untouched by pain, can it ever feel?  

This pain is not bought with silver or gold,  
It is a gift from thee, more precious than told.  

Do not ease my sorrow, nor comfort my woe,  
Let not my heart be humbled, let it not bow low.  

What else remains in my heart’s silent keep?  
Only the pain of your love, buried deep.  

To those who grant such pain, rare and divine,  
We offer our prayers, for their souls shine.  

In my soul, no freshness, in my heart, no bloom,  
Without thee, my love, life is but a tomb.  

No peace does my heart find, dear, without thee near,  
Come, for life is restless, consumed by this fear.  

You are the essence of my life, my core,  
Your sorrow is mine, and your joy I adore.  

In silent cups, in angry wine, I find,  
Without thee, love, my heart is confined.  

When thy voice speaks, life breathes anew,  
In every word, I find myself true.  

The distance from your door is vast and wide,  
Yet life exists in the place where our souls reside.  

What, by thy grace, have I not gained or found?  
My arms are empty, but at thy door, I am bound.  

No reason, no sense, no logic remains,  
How can I forget thee, when madness reigns?  

Once reason tried to make me forget your face,  
But a hundred times, madness led me to your grace.  

A thousand faces may cross before my eyes,  
But none hold my gaze when thy love denies.  

In wounds and in pain, I endure without cry,  
For love is my life, and I never ask why.  

A thousand beauties may stand before me,  
But without thee, my love, my heart flies free.
