Translation of: Hum Dekhain Gay

Hum Dekhain Gay
We shall see
Lazim Hai ke hum Bhi Dekhain Gay
certainly we, too, will see/ We shall see

Woh Din ke Jis ka Wadah Hai
that day that has been promised us
Jo Loh-e-Azl pe Likha hai
Which is written with God’s ink
Hum Dekhain Gay
We shall see

Jab Zulm-o-Sitam ke Koh-e-garaan
When the mountains of cruelty and torture
Ruii ki Tarah Urd Jain Gay
Will fly like pieces of cotton

Hum Mehkumoon ke Paun Talay
Under the feet of the governed
Yeh Dharti Dhard Dhard Dhardkay gi
this earth shiver, shake and beat

Aur Ehl-e-Hukum ke Sar Uper
And over the head of the ruler
Jab Bijli kard Kard Kardke gi
When lightening will thunder
Hum Dekhain Gayfaiz2
We shall see

Jab Arz-e-Khuda ke kabay se
When from this God’s earth’s (Kaa’ba)
Sab but Uthwaaiy Jain gay
All the idols will be removed

Hum Ehl-e-Safa Mardood-e-Haram
Then we, of clean hearts–condemned by
zealots those keepers of faith
Masnad pe Bithaaiy jain gay
We, will be invited to that altar to sit and Govern

Sab Taaj Uchalay jain gay
When crowns will be thrown off
Sab Takht Giraaiy Jain gay
and over turned will be thrones

Bas Naam rahay Ga Allah ka
Then only God’s name will remain
Jo Ghayab Bhi hai Hazir Bhifaiz3
Who is invisible and visible too
Jo nazir bhi hai manzar bhi
Who is the seer and and is seen

Uthay ga Analhaq ka Naara
When the anthem of truth will be raised
Jo Main bhi Hun aur Tumbhi ho
Who I am too, And so are you

Aur Raaj karay gi khalq-e-Khuda
And the people of God will rule
Jo main bhi hun aur tum bhi ho
Who I am too, And so are you

Hum Dekhain Gay
We shall see
Lazim Hai ke hum Bhi Dekhain Gay
certainly we, too, will see/ We shall see
Hum Dekhain Gay
We shall see

translation of: Raat yun dil mein teri khoyi hui yaad aayi

At night my lost memory of you returned

and I was like the empty field where springtime,
without being noticed, is bringing flowers;

I was like the desert over which
the breeze moves gently, with great care;

I was like the dying patient
who, for no reason, smiles.

Faiz Ahmed Faiz on eve of Bangladesh Independence

Faiz Ahmed Faiz on eve of Bangladesh Independence
(23 March 1971)

I couldn't describe the predicament
Nor could I console my heart
The same promise that remains unfulfilled
The same claims that are yet to be proven
The same moths that couldn't complete their sacrifice
The same candles that didn't meet the night
The same yearning for the taste of wine
The same gathering that didn't become a tavern
The same anxious eyes, waiting to see you
The same lonliness on a lovers night
The same ending to this divine chapter
The same incompleteness of our hyms
Faiz, every day has been like the end of the world
But the day of judgement has still not arrived

The light which shines only in palaces

The light which shines only in palaces
Burns up the joy of the people in the shadows
Derives its strength from others’ weakness
That kind of system,
like dawn without light
I refuse to acknowledge,
I refuse to accept

I am not afraid of execution,
Tell the world that I am the martyr
How can you frighten me with prison walls?
This overhanging doom,
this night of ignorance,
I refuse to acknowledge,
I refuse to accept

“Flowers are budding on branches”, that’s what you say,
“Every cup overflows”, that’s what you say,
“Wounds are healing themselves”, that’s what you say,
These bare-faces lies,
this insult to the intelligence,
I refuse to acknowledge,
I refuse to accept

For centuries you have all stolen our peace of mind
But your power over us is coming to an end
Why do you pretend you can cure pain?
Even if some claim that you’ve healed them,
I refuse to acknowledge,
I refuse to accept.

The Missing Treasure Of This Sinking Vessel

The Missing Treasure Of This Sinking Vessel
On The Seafloor, Where It Would Nestle
Against The Base For Years It’d Lay
Patiently Waiting For That Special Day
When I Would Come To Claim My Prize
Hoping The Chest To My Surprise
Would Hold The Heart That I’ve Been Missing
 The Talks, The Laughs, The Hugs, The Kissing
That Day Has Come And Now I’ll Find
What Lies Ahead, No Longer Behind
I’ve Searched Through Darkness, To The Deepest Sea
And Found That Chest Staring Back At Me
What Lies Inside, I Do Not Know
Unlock The Latch And Open Slow
I Peek Within, With Nerves I’m Shaking
The Prize Inside Could Stop The Aching
Cause Within The Chest That I’ve Searched For
I Found The Heart And Even More
The Talks, The Laughs, They All Were There
The Hugs, The Kisses, For Me To Share
The Most Beautiful Treasure I’ve Finally Seized
Did Not Imagine I Could Be So Pleased
I Searched So Long Through The Deep Sea Blue
I Love You Baby, My Prize Is You

Love or lust

What Is Going On
What Is Their To Do
Is This Another Joke
Or Do You Really Care

Jogging Threw My Head
Leaving Me In A Cloud Full Of Dust
Blind To Whats In Front Of Me
And To Who Is Really Their
I Need Find The Answer Thats Hidden In My Heart
Do I Really Love You Or Am I Feeling Lust

english translation oh tum merey pas raho by faiz

You who demolish me, you whom I love,
be near me. Remain near me when evening,
drunk on the blood of skies,
becomes night, in the other
a sword sheathed in the diamond of stars.
Be near me when night laments or sings,
or when it begins to dance,
its stell-blue anklets ringing with grief.
Be here when longings, long submerged
in the heart’s waters, resurface
and everyone begins to look:
Where is the assasin? In whose sleeve
is hidden the redeeming knife?
And when wine, as it is poured, is the sobbing
of children whom nothing will console–
when nothing holds,
when nothing is:
at that dark hour when night mourns,
be near me, my destroyer, my lover me,
be near me.

Sham-e-firaq aab na pooch --- Faiz Ahmed Faiz with English Translation

Sham-e-firaq aab na pooch --- Faiz Ahmed Faiz with English Translation
Sham-e-firaq aab na pooch, aai aur aa ke Tul gai
dil tha ke phir bhehal gaya, jaaN thee ke phir sanbhal gai
 

bazm-e-Khayal maiN tere husn ki shama jal gai
dard ka chaand bujh gaya, hijr ki raat Dhal gai
 

jab tujhey yaad kar liya subha mehak mehak uThee
jab tera ghum jaga liya raat machal machal gai
 

dil se to her muamla kar ke chale thai saaf hum
kehney maiN onkey samney baat badal badal gai
 

aaKhir-e-shab ke humsafar "faiz" najaney kya hoey
reh gai kis jaga saba, subha kidhar nikal gai

Translation:
Ask no more (about) the night of separation; it came, and passed
The heart got diverted again; life found its feet again
in the salon of (my) thoughts, the candle of your beauty was lighted
the moon-of-pain extinguished itself, the night of separation slipped away
whenever you were remembered, the mornings became fragrant
when your pain was awakened, the nights grew restless
in the heart i had sorted out all the issues before setting out
(however) while recounting before her, (my) words changed themselves
who knows where the fellow-travellers of the end-of-the-night went, Faiz?
at which spot did the breeze get left behind? and which way did the dawn walk off?

TRANSLATION OF: SHAM

                  TRANSLATION OF: SHAM

Seems like each tree is a temple,
an ancient temple in ruins,
and is seeking excuses to tremble,
who knows since when,
with its roof cracked
doors lost to old winds.

The sky seems like a priest,
ashes smeared on its body,
saffron smudged on its forehead.
Like a magician behind a curtain
it is sitting silently who knows since when.
It has hypnotised time casting an evening net -
the evening will not cease now
nor will go the darkness,
night will not come now
nor will the morning dawn.

The sky's waiting for this spell to be broken
that the chains of silence are cut
and time is freed from it net;
that someone blows a conch to wake up an idol,
that some dark goddess unveils its face
and its anklets echoing, it dances.

translation of faiz ahmad faiz"Dasht e tanhai me"

    In the wasteland of solitude, my love, quiver
shadows of your voice, illusions of your lips.
In the wasteland of solitude, from the dusts of parting
Sprout jasmines and roses of your presence

From somewhere close by, rises the warmth of your breath
and in its own aroma smolders, slowly, bit by bit.
Far-off, across the horizon, drop by glistening drop
Falls the dew of your beguiling glance.

With such overwhelming love, O my love,
your memory has placed its hand on my heart’s cheek,
that it looks as if (though it’s still the dawn of the adieu)
the sun of parting has set; the night of union has come

So Far away

So far away...
the beaches which you walk.

Yet so close...
always in my heart.

So far away...
I cannot touch your hand,
I cannot feel your breath,
I cannot hold you close.

Yet so close...
I can feel you in my heart,
I can see you in my mind,
I can hear you in my ears.

You can go so far away...
You can travel to the ends of the earth...

But as long as I have your love...
As long as I have you...
You will always be close.

For,
As sure as the sun rises,
And the tides will change,
I will always love you,
An you will always be close to my heart.

With A Heart Full Ov Pain.

believe in your self

If You Think You Are Beaten, You Are.
If You Think You Dare Not, You Don't.
If You Like To Win But Think You Can't,
It's Almost A Cinch You Won't.

If You Think You'll Lose, You're Lost.
For Out In The World We Find
Success Begins With A Fellow's Will.
It's All In The State Of Mind.

If You Think You Are Out Classed, You Are.
You've Got To Think High To Rise.
You've Got To Be Sure Of Your-Self Before
You Can Ever Win The Prize.

Life's Battles Don't Always Go
To The Stronger Or Faster Man.
But Sooner Or Later, The Man Who Wins
Is The Man Who Thinks He Can.
