TALE OF NIGHT (a Ghazal dedicated to night)
Barson hue usse na koi baat hui raat
Tune bhi na ki apni koi jadugari raat
Oh! Night ages passed that with beloved no communication
Barson hue usse na koi baat hui raat
Tune bhi na ki apni koi jadugari raat
Oh! Night ages passed that with beloved no communication
Even thou hast not spelled any magic not even one.
Gum ho gai ummid mulaqaat sahar men
Ye tune mere saath ajab chaal chali raat
The hope for the union has lost in the appearance
of morning,
Thou played very astonishing tricks with me that sting
Wo le gaya saath apne ujale mere dil ke
Kate na kati hum se jo thi dard bhari raat
Wo le gaya saath apne ujale mere dil ke
Kate na kati hum se jo thi dard bhari raat
That lovely creature deprived me of the
light of joy
The yearning lonely nights my patience destroy
Ashkon se kaha maine judai ka fasana
uspar ye kaha usne ki aayegi nai raat
I told the tale of separation with flow of tears,
Beloved pacifies that see anew night appears.
shikwe mere aur uska batana ise ilzaam
Kuch taye na hua aur yunhi beet gai raat
On my complaints she says charge sheer charge
Nothing was decided and night passed by and large
Jo mere tasawur men tha hangamaye
mahshar
uske liye makhsoos hui wasl ki hi raat
The turmoil of doomsday which was in my mind,
uske liye makhsoos hui wasl ki hi raat
The turmoil of doomsday which was in my mind,
Became special with the night of union that I find
usmen hi to hai chand sitaron ka muqaddar
Ek khale siyahtaab(kala chamakta til )ki hai jalwagari raat
For sure the fate of stars and moon lie there within that,
usmen hi to hai chand sitaron ka muqaddar
Ek khale siyahtaab(kala chamakta til )ki hai jalwagari raat
For sure the fate of stars and moon lie there within that,
The night is the luster of the mole of beauty seemingly pat
Jis raat kabhi koi mere saath raha tha
Aa jaye suhail aaj dua hai ki wohi raat
Oh that night when somebody remained
with me,
I pray that night should come again to revive glee
- Suhail Kakorvi
