Amir Khusro ke kuch qlaam -
19th November 2013, 03:31 PM
Nami danam chi manzil bood shab jaay ki man boodam;
I wonder what was the place where I was last night,
Baharsu raqs-e bismil bood shab jaay ki man boodam.
All around me were half-slaughtered victims of love,
tossing about in agony.
Pari paikar nigaar-e sarw qadde laala rukhsare;
There was a nymph-like beloved with cypress-like form
and tulip-like face,
Sarapa aafat-e dil bood shab jaay ki man boodam.
Ruthlessly playing havoc with the hearts of the lovers.
Khuda khud meer-e majlis bood andar laamakan Khusrau;
God himself was the master of ceremonies in that heavenly court, oh Khusrau,
Muhammad shamm-e mehfil bood shab jaay ki man boodam.
where (the face of) the Prophet too was shedding light like a candle.
ख़ुदा परेशां तेरी बला से तेरे सितम से तेरे अधम से
अगर हसीँ होते ज़ुल्म तेरे तू भी तो कुछ शर्मसार होता
