Mujh se pehli si muhabbat mere mehboob na maang by Faiz Ahmad Faiz English Translation

 Mujh se pehli si muhabbat mere mehboob na maang

Maine samjhaa tha ke tu hai to darakhshaan hai hayaat

Tera gham hai to gham-e-dehar ka jhagdaa kyaa hai

Teri surat se hai aalam mein bahaaron ko sabaat
Teri aankhon ke siwaa duniyaa mein rakhkhaa kya hai

My beloved!  ask me not, for the love we had

I perceived my life eternally radiant, if I had you.

Being Without you, what sorrow can be more worse?

It is with your face that springs seasons

Without your eyes! What is more beautiful in world?

Tu jo mil jaaye to taqdir nigoon ho jaaye
Yoon na thaa maine faqat chaahaa thaa yoon ho jaaye
Aur bhi dukh hai zamaane mein muhabbat ke siwaa
Raahatein aur bhi hain vasl ki raahat ke siwaa

Fate would be my side if you are by my side

It was never for me to wish, it should happen

besides love! There are other sufferings too in world

other solaces are there too apart from lovers union!

Anginat sadiyon ki taareeq bahemaanaa tilism
Resham-o-atlas-o-kamkhwaab mein bunvaaye hue
Ja-ba-ja bikte hue koochaa-o-baazaar mein jism
Khaak mein lithade hue, khoon mein nehlaaye hue

Through endless times. This brutal dark spell

Silk, brocade draped over fresh flesh

In streets and marketplace, is up for sale

Soaked in blood and rubbed in dirt!


Jism nikle hue amraaz ke tannooron se
Peep behti hui galte hue naasooron se

Laut jaati hai udhar ko bhi nazar, kya keeje?
Ab bhi dilkash hai tera husn, magar kya keeje?

Emerging from the blaze of plague

While pus leaks from deep wounds.

My eyes see that too. What can I do?

Alluring is your beauty still! What can I do?

Aur bhi dukh hai zamaane mein muhabbat ke siwaa
Raahatein aur bhi hain vasl ki raahat ke siwaa
Mujh se pehli si muhabbat mere mehboob na maang

besides love! There are other sufferings too in world

other solaces are there too apart from lovers union!

My beloved!  ask me not, for the love we had .

kabi Arsh par, kabi farsh par

  Kabhi Ruk gaye! Kabhi Chal diye! Kabhi Chalty Chalty Bhatak gaye, Sometimes I stopped, sometimes I moved Sometimes I lost track of my way   Yunhi Umar Saari Guzaar di, Yunhi Zindagi kay Sitam Sahy... This way I spent my share of life And bore all miseries of life   Kabhi Neend main, Kabhi Hosh main, tu Jahan Mila, Tujhay Dekh kar... sometimes in sleep, sometimes while awake wherever you met, after seeing you   Na Nazar Mili, Na Zuban Hili, Yunhi Sir Jhukka kay Guzar Gaye... Neither our eyes met nor we spoke This way we met and walked away     Kabhi Zulf par, Kabhi Chasham Par, Kabhi Tere haseen Wajood par, Sometimes on your hair locks, sometimes on your eyes Sometimes at your beautiful existence   Jo Pasand thy Meri Zaat main, 'Wo Shair Saary Bikhar Gaye... All that was dear to my soul Those verse have been lost   Mujhay yaad hai Kabhi Ek thy Hum, Magar Aaj hum hain Juda Juda... I remember once we were one Now we

Aaye kuch abr kuch sharaab aaye By Faiz Ahmad Faiz English Translation

  Aaye kuch abr kuch sharaab aaye Uske baad aaye jo azaab aaye Let some respite, some drink may come! Then after Whatever calamity may come! Baam-e-Minaa se maahtaab utare Dast-e-saaqi mein aaftaab aaye Moon descends from bottle top Let sun,from hands of saqi come! Har rag-e-khoon mein phir charaagaan ho Saamne phir woh benaqaab aaye My every vein will luminously flow Unveiled beloved once may come! Umr ke har waraq pe dil ko nazar Teri mehr-o-wafaa ke baab aaye On every page of life, my heart saw Letters written of your fidelity did come ! Kar rahaa tha gham-e-jahaan ka hisaab Aaj tum yaad behisaab aaye I was reckoning torments of this world Your countless memories did come! Na gayee tere gham ki sardaari Dil mein yunh roz inqalaab aaye Supremacy of your grief hasn’t gone yet New rebellion in heart, each day may come! Jal uthe bazm-e-ghair ke dar-o-baam Jab bhi hum khaanaman kharaab aaye every wall and roof of my rival shall burn Whenever
