یہ مانتا ہوں کہ میں تجھ کو پا نہیں سکتا

I have accepted the fact that I can't have you,

تیرا خیال مگر دل سے جا نہیں سکتا

But your thoughts won't leave my heart no matter what.

aankhein dekhi to mein dekhtha reh gaya

Jaam do aur donon hi do aatishaan

aankhein ya maikade ki yeh do baab hain

aankhein unko kahoon ya kahoon khwaab hain

aankhein neechi huyin to haya ban gayin

aankhein oonchi huyin to dua ban gayin

aankhein uth kar jhukeen to adaa ban gayin

aankhein jhuk kar utheen to sazaa ban gayin

aankhein jin mein hai qaid aasman-o-zameen

Nargisi nargisi,

Surmayi surmayi...

Tr:

When I saw her eyes I was transfixed

They are two cups of wine, both of them ablaze

Are these eyes, or two doors to a winehouse

Shall I call them eyes or dreams

When the eyes looked down, they became shyness itself,

When they looked up, they became a prayer.

When they looked down after looking up, it was her style.

When they looked up after a downward glance, it became a punishment.

Eyes, in which the sky and earth are captured,

(eyes) like the flower of nargis,

grey, like the eye-kohl..

Har Lehza Ba Shakal Aan Blink, And There He Was In A Different Form.,

POET JALALUDDIN RUMI

Hamne beparda tujhe maah-jabeen dekh liya

Ab na kar parda ke o parda-nasheen dekh liya

Hamne dekha tujhe aankhon ki siyaah putli mein

Saat pardon mein tujhe parda-nasheen dekh liya

Ham nazar-baazon se tu chhup na saka jaan-e-jahaan

Tu jahaan jaake chhupa hamne vahin dekh liya

Tere deedaar ki thi hamko tamanna, so tujhe

Log dekhenge vahaan, hamne yahin dekh liya

Har lehza ba shakal aan but-e-ayyaar baraamad

Dil burd-o-nihaan shud

Har dam ba libaas-e-deegar aan yaar baraamad

Gah peer-o-javaan shud

Khud kooza-o, khud koozaagar-o, khud gil-e-kooza

Khud rind-e-subu kash

Khud bar sar-e-aan kooza khareedaar baraamad

Bishkast-o ravaan shud

Nai nai ke hamin bood ke mi aamad-o mi raft

Har qarn ke deedum

Ta aaqbat aan shakl-e-arab vaar baraamad

Daara-e-jahaan shud

Rumi sukhane kufr na guftast na goyad

Munkir nashvedash

Kaafir buvad aan kas ke ba inkaar baraamad

Mardood-e-jahaan shud

Notes by scholar Homayra Ziad: 1. Sly beloved or ayyār: An ayyār is a “pious rogue” and Love often appears in this form in Persian Sufi poetry.

2. Many manifestations of Reality: This imagery evokes the infinite manifestations of the Divine Unity. A Qur’anic verse that is often cited by Sufis is: “And God’s in the East and the West. Wherever you turn, there is God’s Face.” (Sura 2:115) All distinctions vanish in the Face of God. This is the central idea evoked by Sachal Sarmast too in the next song. In a similar poem, Kabir says… In an elephant you became an elephant An ant is just a little you! As an elephant driver you sit on top the one saying “move along” is you only you! With thieves you become a thief You’re in with the scoundrels too! You’re the one who robs and runs! The cop who nabs you, is you only you! (A song from the oral traditions of Kabir in Malwa in central India, translation by Linda Hess) 3. The broken cup: The broken cup means that no category is absolute, and that divine manifestations are always in a state of flux. The only absolute is God’s essence. 4. “Until one day he emerged…”: A reference to the Prophet (the Perfect Human, insān-i kāmil). 5. Veiling the truth: According to the Persian scholar Mohammad Reza Shafi'i-Kadkani, the last two stanzas were originally: Rumi sokhan-e kofr nagoftast (nagofteh ast) o nagooyad Monker nashavidash Kafir bovad an kas keh be enkar daramad az doozakhian shod

Many thanks to Fereshteh Amanat-Kowssar at Yale University for pointing this out. I have translated the poem based on the original, which makes far more sense than the sung version. Kufr means hiding or covering up, and the word kāfir is used to describe one who “covers up” or denies the truth. Rumi’s words, though apparently blasphemous, are closer to the truth.
