Hasrat

Mohammed Amjed February 17, 2003

Urdu Verse with Translation

Dil mein hasrat ko’ee su’lag’ti hai
Zaaf’raan dhun’d mein pi’ghal’ti hai
Kutch to taz’een-e-jaan ka baa’is hai
Phir ko’ee sham-e-yaad jalti hai

Note: This is the roman version of urdu script on the left

Ancient passions kindle
the soul,
Like saffron incinerating in the morning mist.
At last, my soul is embellished,
At last, some wafted memory lights up the heart’s environs.

Aik zanjeer-e-dar’d baj’ti hai
Dil mein dukh’oon ki saij saj’ti hai
Ik ajab kaifi’yat hai jeen’ay mein
Rooh ris ris kai bain kar’ti hai

There is a muffled clamor of pain in my blood stream,
A sordid blank affect grips the soul
Life drifts away slowly,
Lamenting.
This is original verse by the writer
