Tum aaye ho, na shab-e-intezar guzri hai, Faiz Ahmad Faiz translated by Mir Atif

Tum Aaye Ho Na Shab-e-Intizar Guzri Hai
Talaash Mein Hai Sehar, Bar Bar Guzri Hai

Junoon mein jitni bhi guzri, bakaar Guzri Hai
Agar che Dil Pe KHarabi Hazar Guzri Hai

Woh Baat Saare Fasaane Mein Jis ka Zikra Na Tha
Woh Baat Unko Bahut NaGavaar Guzri Hai

Huii Hai Hazrat-e-Naaseh se Guftguu Jis Shab
Woh Shab Zaruur Sar-e-Kuh-e-Yaar Guzri Hai

Na Gul Khile hein, Na un Se Mile, Na Mai Pii Hai
Ajeeb Rung Mein ab Ke Bahaar Guzri Hai

Chaman Mein Gaarat-e-gulchiin se Jaane Kya Guzri
Qafas se Aaj Sabaa be-Qaraar Guzri Hai

You didn’t show up

Night of longing denies to go

In pursuit of you

Dawns trumpet is yet to blow

Surrounded by passion

Wasn’t that time well spent?

Why wail oh! Heart?

All you suffered was a severe dent

Counting my steps

In the beloved’s alleyway

Like that debate

Of lovers at Broadway

Story you recounted

And left an unsaid part

Offences he took

Ineptly to his own heart

Emptied cups, no blossoms

And no signs of her

Colorless has been

This summer – so blur

Gardener plucked

To the flowers dismay

The morning breeze questioned

Besides my confine today
