Na tan mein khoon faraham, na ashk ankhon mein Meeting her may not be in my destiny but I can keep wishing to meet her) ( The aim does seem distant, but I can still maintain the desire, Nahin nigah mein manzil, to justajoo hi sahi It has been sung beautifully by Abida Parveen: Today we have a beautiful Faiz Ahmed Faiz ghazal. Can someone stop me from hoping? Not aВ chance. This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged Faiz Ahmed Faiz on Augby Kanwarpreet Grewal. The morning candle beside me is my only solace.) I have spent a lifetime waiting for the sun to rise, The one whose pain I have carried so close to my heart for years, ( Only one companion is still left with me, Ik umar se is dhun mein ke ubhre koi khursheed,Д«aithe hain sahaara liye shamma-e-sehri ka. Pehlu men liye phirte hain jo dard kisi ka, Has come to pour wine as the evening descends,ДЄnd together we are eagerly waiting for the moon to rise,ДЄnd your essence to shine under the shadow of every object.) ( Today my loniliness like an old friend, Muntazir baithe hain hum donon ke mahtab ubhare,ДЄur tera aks jhalakne lage har saaye tale.

Jo kaha to sun se ura diya, jo likha to parh ke mita diya Udhar ik haraf ke kushtani, yahan laakh uzr tha guftani She for whom the names of strangers is more precious than the name of this friend ] [ вЂњFaizвЂќ, she expects sincerity from me вЂ¦

вЂќ But why donвЂ™t you give your barren desolate land a fancy name ?вЂќ ]ДЇaiz unko hai takaza-e-wafa humse jinhein вЂ¦ДЄashna ke naam se pyaara hai begaane ka naam [ The people who own gardens console me : вЂќ We agree that you donвЂ™t have a garden. вЂњtum koi aacha sa rakh lo apne veerane ka naam вЂќ Hum se kehte hain chamanwaale: вЂњgareeb-aanay-chamanвЂ¦вЂќ The drunkard, the saqi(wine pourer), the wine, the cask and the wine glass have all become famous) ( Bless the critics, it is because of their grace Rind ka, saqi ka, main ka, khum ka, paimane ka naam. Mohtasib ki khair, ooncha hai usi ke faiz se This is because all lovers have now been defamed.] [ Today no вЂњlailaвЂќ( beloved) will declare her love openly, In dinon badnaam hai har aik deewane ka naam. So, my fairy faced beloved, I will never ask you to let loose your tresses]ДЄb kisi laila ko bhi iqrar-e-mehboobi nahin, [ The very sign of love causes the whole world to gossip, Дilbari tehra zuban-e-khalk khulwane ka naam,ДЄb nahin lete pari-roo zulf bikhrane ka naam.

And for me the definition of spring is that you have come out in the terrace ]Дosto us chashm-e-lab ki kuch kaho, jiske bagaairвЂ¦ [ For me colours are defined by your clothes. Mausam-e-gul hai tumhare baam par aane ka naam Rang pairahan ka, khushboo zulf lehraane ka naam, Here is the recitation by Faiz himself and the rendition by Firdousi Begum: Also, this time I have added a few more shers.
