In the heat of the midday sun, to call me
Vo teraa kothe pe nange paaoon aanaa yaad hai

Be rukhi kay saat sunanaa dard-e-dil ki daastaan
With your face averted, you would listen to the tales of my heartache
Wo kalaai me teran kangan ghumaana yaad hai
I remember how you would twirl your bangles around your wrist
Waqt-e-rukhsat alvida ka lafz kehnay ke liyay
When it was time to say goodbye
Vo tere sukhay labo ka Thar-tharana yaad hain
I remember how your parched lips would quiver
Baahazaaraan iztiraab-o-sad-hazaaraan ishtiyaaq
with a thousand anxieties, and a hundred thousand desires
Tujhase vo pahale pahal dil kaa lagaanaa yaad hai
I remember how I first lost my heart to you
Jaan kar sotaa tujhe vo qasa-e-paabosii meraa
I would knowingly rub your feet in worship
Aur teraa Thukaraa ke sar vo muskuraanaa yaad hai
I remember how you would toss your head and smile at me
Jab sivaa mere tumhaaraa koii diivaanaa na thaa
when you had no other suitor but me
Sach kaho kyaa tum ko bhii vo kaarKhaanaa yaad hai
Tell me truly, do you remember such a time?
Ghair kii nazaron se bachakar sab kii marzii ke Khilaaf
Hiding from others eyes, and against their wishes
Vo teraa chorii chhipe raaton ko aanaa yaad hai
I remember you would secretly come to me at night
Dekhanaa mujhako jo bargashtaa to sau sau naaz se
when you saw me turned against you, with much gentleness...
Jab manaa lenaa to phir khud ruuth jaanaa yaad hai
you would cajole me, then you yourself would become cool toward me
Chori chori ham se tum aa kar mile the jis jagah
That place where where I came to meet you secretly
Muddatein guzariin par ab tak wo thikaanaa yaad hai
I remember it still, though many years have passed
Chupake Chupake Raat Din Aansuu Bahanaa Yaad Hai
I remember shedding tears secretly day and night
Ham ko ab tak aashiqii kaa vo zamaanaa yaad hai
I still remember the days of our love

ReplyDeleteIf you read into the ghazal properly you will realise the Poet is describing a lovemaking scene that occured between them once and he still remembers it. Maulana Hasrat Mohani is being implicit and clever. Genius writing. Picture the man and woman reacting as described in the language and you'll come to know that it indeed is a detailed account of intense ardour. Thank me later ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much dear..

ReplyDeleteDear translator,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much indeed!
I am Arab and I have been listening to this beautiful song for decades; I have always felt it considering that music is a human language and heritage that can be easily felt despite the language barriers. For instance, although I do not have the knowledge of Chinese, Amharic, and Malayalam languages, I often listen to the nations’ beautiful music and feel it deeply in my essence.

I have been listening to the song for many years without knowing the meaning at all. I only felt that it was a pathetic one resembling someone who lost his beloved for some wrong deed. It is you who has made me understand the song with ease. Thank you very much for your effort. Thank you once again.
