Koi Aashiq Kisi Mehbooba Se

by

Faiz Ahmed Faiz

 

Gulshan-e-yaad mein gar aaj dum-e-baad-e-saba

Phir se chaahe ki gul afshaan ho, to ho jaane do

Umr-e-raftaa ke kisi taaq pe bisra hua dard

Phir se chaahe ki farozaan ho, to ho jaane do

Jaise begaane se ab milte ho to vaise hi sahi

Aao do chaar ghadi mere muqaabil baitho


 Garche mil baithenge hum tum to mulaaqaat ke baad

Apna ehsaas-e-ziyaan aur ziyaada hoga

Humsukhan honge hum dono to har baat ke beech

Ankahee baat ka mouhoom sa parda hoga

Koi iqraar na main yaad dilaaunga tumhein

Koi mazmoon na wafa ka na jafa ka hoga


Gard-e-ayyaam ki tehreer ko dhone ke liye

Tum se goya ho dum-e-deed jo meri palkein

Tum jo chaaho to suno, aur jo na chaaho na suno

Aur jo harf karien mujhse gurezaan ankhein

Tum jo chaaho to kaho, jo na chaaho na kaho


 


A lover speaks to his beloved

translated by

Mustansir Dalvi


 If, in the garden of our memories, the morning breeze should scatter

Rose petals once more, well, let it be so

If, from some niche of our past forgotten aches should want 

To smoulder once again, let it be so

We meet as strangers now. Well, even so, come, 

Sit face to face with me, for but a moment or two


And when we sit together, we might find, in companionship

A feeling of loss that grows more and more acute

And when we speak to each other, we might find, between every word

The imagined veil of all that was left unsaid

I will not remind you of our promises 

No mention will be made of love or of betrayal


To wash away the words written in the dust of days

It's as if my eyelids, in the moment of seeing

Entreat you: listen if you will, or don't 

While the unspoken censure of your eyes

Tell me: say what you will, or remain silent
