Kabe aami bahir holem

When I sauntered one day singing your lay

That is not today, not today.

I forget since when after you I yearned


As a fountain speeds knowing not the need,

Thus I rushed away the course of days


I prayed by many names, made many paints,

With what elation I ran without notion


As a flower yearns for light unknowing in the night

So my soul pines for you divine

Ek din chahalqadmi si karte huye

Ga raha tha main naghma tera

Ik zamana hua

Main usi din se bhoola hua tha tujhe

Aarzu mein ter i jab se marta tha main

Ik zamana hua

Jaise behta rahe mustaqi l aabshar

Chahe iski zaroorat koi ho na ho

Main bhi ki tne dinon tak raha daudtaa

Ik zamana hua

Ki tne namon se pooja main kar ta raha

Aur banata raha teri tasweer main

Naaz se, fakhr se dauda phir ta raha

Aur koi nazar iya bhi waaze na tha Ik zamana hua

Ek anjaani si roshni ke l iye

Muntazir phool shab bhar rahe j is tarah

Us tarah meri rooh

Muztari b thi tere waaste

Ik zamana hua

chahalqadmi- walking

mustaqil - continuously

aabashar- fountain

muntazir- awaiti ng

Tomay aamay milan habe

You and I shall meet so bright sky is sweet.

The world burgeons for we shall meet.

Since we shall meet

The world is cradled by night,

Dawn heralds a day with dulcet lay.

The nuptial boat hopeful sails an eternal way.

Since we shall meet

In the cosmos through eons

My heart in bridal dress sallies alone.

Shudhu tomar bani noy go

Oh friend, oh dear one, not only your call,

But sometimes once in a while touch my soul.

The long day’s tire and daylong thirsty fire

How to sate, I know not the outlet

This void you fill, tell me that still.

My soul wants to give, not only to get

And roams loaded with whatever saved.

You extend your hand, and mine you grasp

I shall hold it cherishing, keep in my clasp,

The lonely tread shall me enthrall.

In my heart’s inner recess

You lie prone, in silence alone

Oh dearest, awake awake awake.

I wait beyond the closed door

How long will that pass evermore


The sky is crowded with night stars

At my window they all stare,


Bring music into my ardour,

Do not mute your flute’s fervour


With your eyes I shall lock mine

Clasp my hand firmly with thine


My heart will with nectar fill,

Darkness will deep light instill

Oh dearest, awake, awake, awake

Mala hote khase-para phuler ekti dal

The flower petal from your chaplet shed

Oh let me, let me hold it on my head.

In this lake of sweetness that is bottomless,

There let me oh, let me drown.

Wipe from my face the taint of disgrace.

In seclusion, dear, your mark let me wear.

Let your high breeze course in my bower,

Let dead leaves and sere petals go.

Whatever my life path obstructs

Let them disappear, oh let them do so.

In your grand coffer lies much splendour

I glean them, still my mind lingers,

In my soul’s depth let myself spill over.

Let us to your lonesome temple, go.

Unknown path, lightless, inside and out blackness,

I hear your footsteps’ presence.

In the forest dense.

Slowly, my friend slow

Let us stroll by the edge of the shadow.

Treading in the dark I would dare the trail after your air,

The scent of your veil I shall bear

With the spring jasmine now.

Aamar hiyaar maajhe lukiye chhile

Hidden in my spirit I did not find you.

I could not see you.

I looked outward, and not in my heart.

In my adoration all care all aspiration

You consorted with me, I did not near you.

Being the elation, you filled my élan

So enchanted in bliss, the days passed amiss.

Latent in the soul’s confines into my sad and buoyant rhymes

You set the bars, but I did not sing your airs.

Ami bahu bashonay pranpone chay

My desires are many and my cry is pitiful,

but ever didst thou save me by hard refusals;

and this strong mercy has been wrought into my life

through and through.

Day by day thou art making me worthy

of the simple, great gifts that thou gavest to me unasked-

this sky and the light, this body and the life and the mind-

saving me from perils of overmuch desire.

There are times when I languidly linger

and times when I awaken and hurry in search of my goal;

but cruelly thou hidest thyself from before me.

Day by day thou art making me worthy of

thy full acceptance by refusing me ever and anon,

saving me from perils of weak, uncertain desire.

Mane rabe ki na rabe aamare

Whether you will remember me or not I do not heed

Often I return to your portal, singing without need.

Days pass as I stay, if we near each other on the way

I yearn to see a sudden smile of joy on your face

So I chant without need.

The vernal flower wilts when spring leaves

Offers a transient fistful knowing nothing else.

Day will wane, light will relent, song will stop, veena turn silent,

Till I stay please adorn this playful day

That is why I sing needlessly anyway.

The beloved’s smile with sweet song wafts to the heart

Thou hast made me known to friends whom I knew not.

Thou hast given me seats in homes not my own.

Thou hast brought the distant near and made a brother of the stranger.

I am uneasy at heart when I have to leave my accustomed shelter;

I forget that there abides the old in the new,

and that there also thou abidest.

Through birth and death, in this world or in others,

wherever thou leadest me it is thou, the same,

the one companion of my endless life

who ever linkest my heart with bonds of joy to the unfamiliar.

When one knows thee, then alien there is none, then no door is shut.

Oh, grant me my prayer that I may never lose the bliss of the touch

of the one in the play of many.

On many dark nights, in many private airs.

Do you recall them to know that I came?

In the heart of night they are spread everywhere.

Awake as I listen at my unlighted vent

Adreamy wind races every moment

With rain showers the tamarisk clumps murmur,

With the odour of damp earth those memories reappear.

Not bedeck thee with flowers;

And hang it about thy neck.

Makes waves within thee dance.

to sit by thy side.

The works that I have in hand

I will finish afterwards.

Away from the sight of thy face

my heart knows no rest nor respite,

And my work becomes an endless

toil in a shoreless sea of toil.

Today the summer has come at my

window with its sighs and murmurs;

And the bees are plying their

Now it is time to sit quiet, face

Dedication of life in this silent

Il ti ja hai meri

Mat pukaro use

Mat karo yaad usko

Jo hai ja chuka

Mujhe kya mil a hai siwa dard ke

Pyar maine kiya

Aur badle mein paaya hai kya

Bas khuda ke liye

Kankhiyon se na dekho mujhe

Meri ghamnaak barbadiyon ki lehar

Le gayee hai mujhe

Door khushiyon ki saughaat se

Apne tarz-e-taghaaful se

Ayyar iyon se Raaste ko na bhatkan banao

Jab chala jaunga door tumse

Tumko ehsaas hoga bahut

tar z-e-tagaaful - way of avoidi ng, del iberate negli gence ;

ayyar iyon - slyness ;

Aaji dakshinapabane

With the south breeze today

The forests started to sway.

Heaven’s apsaras sang, their anklet bells rang

With pains of separation a fervent heart strays.

The mute ardour of the madhavi creeper

With new foliage madly murmurs.

The butterfly in elation sends around its invitation

For a festive display.

Baad-e-saba ke saath mein sara jungal jhoomta hai

Jannat mein apsaraayein gaayein

Paayal ke ghunghroo jhankaayein

Gham-e-judaai l ekar tapta dil ye bhatakta hai

Chaar samt mein chhaya hai

Madhvi ka khaamosh junoon

Aab-o-hawa mehaki bauraee

Nayee konplein, naya junoon

Naaz-o-masarrat se ti tl i ka paigham pahunchta hai

Baad-e-saba ke saath mein sara jungal jhoomata hai
