phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aaya

phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aaya
dil jigar tishna-e-faryaad aaya
i remember my moistened eyes again
my heart's thirsty longing and my pain


dam liya tha na qayamat ne hanuz
phir tera waqt-e-safar yaad aaya
barely did doomsday cease to be
the time of your parting came to me


sadgi-ha-e-tamanna yani
phir wo nairang-e-nazar yaad aaya
the innocence of my wishes
surprise


again i think of fascinating eyes
uzr-e-wamandagi ai hasrat-e-dil
nala karta tha jigar yaad aaya
heart's longing


weariness the reason
find
i would have pled but patience came to mind
zindagi yun bhi guzar hi jati


kyun tera rahguzar yaad aaya
life would in any case pass by and by
your street i now recall
tell me why


kya hi rizwan se ladai hogi
ghar tera khuld mein gar yaad aaya
where is the courage now to plead at all
sick of the heart my patience i recall


aah wo jurat-e-fariyaad kahan
dil se tang aa ke jigar yaad aaya
my thought now goes back to your lane
my missing heart i think of now again


phir tere kuche ko jata hai khayal
dil-e-gum-gashta magar yaad aaya
what kind of desolation there this be
home comes to mind the desert when i see


koi virani si virani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aaya
what fight with heaven's doorman there will be
whoughts of your house


if there
trouble me
main ne majnun pe ladakpan mein 'asad'
sang uthaya tha ki sar yaad aaya


when in youth
on majnuu.n's head
a stone
i heft to cast


i then recalled my own
wasl mein hijr ka dar yaad aaya
ain jannat mein saqar yaad aaya
