YAAR KO HUM NE JA BJA DEKHA!!!



KAHIN ZAHAR TOH KAHIN CHHUPA DEKHA!!!


Sufian kalam by Hazrat Shah Niaz rendered by Abida Parveen!!!

yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha
kahin zahir kahin chhupa dekha
kahin mumkin hoa kahin wajib
kahin fani kahin baqa dekha
yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha
kahin zahir kahin chupa dekha


Laughed gleefully through blooming flowers,
Crooned in nightingale’s melodious songs.
He took the forms of the candle and the moth,
And annihilated Himself in flames of His own.
At times claiming “I am the Truth”,
Witnessed his head raised on the Cross.
O ‘Niyaz’ He was beyond the bounds of `You’ and `Me’,
And yet I see Him in every `You’ and `Me’.

MOHABBATON KE SIVA

A ghazal by Ashraf Gill


Mohabbaton ke siva mere pas kuch bhi nahi!

I have nothing in my heart except the wealth of Love!
as soon as my beloved awarded me the days of solitude
and nights of loneliness!
since separation my normal life has been shut down
and surrounded by emptiness!

NI MEIN JANA JOGI DE NAAL- Sufi Saint Bulle Shah





kaga sab tan khaiyyo
mera chun chun khaiyo maans-2
toh naina mat khaiyo
mohe piya milan ki aas

ho ni main jaana
jaana jogi de naal

ranjha ranjha kardi ni main
aape ranjha hoyi
ranjha main wich
main ranjhe wich
hor khayal na koi

ho ni main jaana
jaana jogi de naal

Aaj Lok Makkay nu Jandey
Mai Jaana Takht Hajarey
Jith Val Yaara
Uthey val Kaaba
Tu Khol kitaba Chahey

I love this song by Kavita Seth!

ओ रे मनवा तू तोह बावरा है
तुही जाने तू क्या सोचता है
तुही जाने तू क्या सोचता है....बावरे


क्यों दिखाए सपने तू सोते जागते
जो बरसें सपने बूँद बूँद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
कैसे चलूँ... देख न सकूं ...
देख न सकूं

LOVE ME ..(NA M'AGAPAS)

Greek romantic song!

Once you kissed me
spoke to my heart
my body went as DROSOSTALIA
I dreamed what I tasted in my life
who fell in love with my sweet eyes

Love me, are you my boy
Do not forget bright star
Love me, are you the moon I
thanks for turning me straight to heaven

Come take me tonight
To dream you put me
and that you want to do until morning
Those who loved and lived with passion
cry even if they are lucky

Do you love me ..
(translation from Greek)

Mia forá me fíli̱ses
sti̱n kardiá mou míli̱ses
sto kormí mou kýli̱ses san drosostaliá
Ósa oneiréf̱ti̱ka sti̱ zo̱í̱ mou géf̱ti̱ka

 pou se ero̱téf̱ti̱ka mátia mou glyká
 Na m' agapás, na 'sai to agóri mou
 mi̱ me xechnás ástro fo̱teinó
 Na m' agapás, na 'sai to fengári mou

 na gyrnás gia chári̱ mou mes ton ouranó
 Éla apópse páre me
 st' óneiro sou vále me
 ki óti théleis káne me méchri to pro̱í
 Ósoi agapí̱sane kai me páthos zí̱sane
 ésto̱ ki an dakrýsane eínai tycheroí

HAR BAAT PE KEHTE HO!

For everything I say
you answer with provocation
why don't you say what is this
style of conversation!
Flowing in veins is vain
unless blood it is
that flows from the eyes!!
dress struck with the flowing blood
why then my robe need
darning and reparation!!
when flesh is all burnt
heart must have burnt as well
your search for it in ashes
is all an exercise in frustation!!
