Zinda Rahen Tu Kya Hai Jo Mar Jain Hum Tu Kya

Duniya Main Khaamoshi Se Guzar Jain Hum Tu Kya

Hasti Hi Apni Kya Hai Zamane Ke Samne

Ek Khwab Hain Jahan Main Bikhar Jain Hum Tu Kya

Ab Kaun Muntazir Hai Hamare Liye Wahan

Sham Aa Gayi Hai Laut Ke Ghar Jain Hum Tu Kya

Dil Ki Khalish Tu Saath Rahe Gi Tamam Umr

Dariya-e-Ghum Ke Paar Utar Jain Hum Tu Kya

Ho na ho ye koi sach bolane wala hai qateel,

Zulmat ko zia, sar sar ko saba, banday ko khuda kya likhna

Deewar ko dar, pathar ko gauhar, jugnu ko diya kya likhna

Hashr bapa hai ghar ghar mein, dum ghut’ta hai gumbad-e-bedar mein

Ik shakhs kay hathon muddat se, ruswa hai watan duniya bhar mein

Aay deeda-waro iss zillat ko, kismet ka likha kya likhna

Zulmat ko zia, sar sar ko saba, banday ko khuda kya likhna

Logoon pay hi hum ne jaan wari, ki hum ne inhi ki gham khwari

Hote hain toh hon ye haath qalam, sha’ir na banain ge darbari

Iblees numa insanon ki, aye dost sana kia likhna

Zulmat ko zia , sarsar ko saba banday ko khuda kya likhna

Haq baat pe korray aur zindaan, batil ke shikanje main hai ye jaan

Insaan hain ke sehme bethe hain, khoon-khwar darinde hain raqsaan

Iss zulm-o-sitam ko lutf-o-karam, iss dukh ko dawa kya likhna

Zulmat ko zia , sarsar ko saba banday ko khuda kya likhna

Har shaam yahan shaam-e-weeran, aaseb zada raste galiyan

Jis shehr ki dhun main nikle thay, woh shehr dil-e-barbad kahan

Sehra ko chaman ban ko gulshan badal ko rida kia likhna

Zulmat ko zia, sa sar ko saba, banday ko khuda kia likhna

Aye mere watan ke fankaro, zulmat pe na apna fan waro

Ye mehl sara’on ke baasi, qatil hain sabhi apne yaro

Wirsay main hamain yeh gham hai mila, iss gham ko nayaa kia likhna

Zulmat ko zia, sarsar ko saba, banday ko Khuda kia likhna

I speak frankly and that makes me happy:

I am the slave of love, I am free of both worlds.

I am a bird from heaven's garden. How do I describe that separation,

my fall into this snare of accidents?

I was an angel and highest paradise was my place.

Adam brought me to this monastery in the city of ruin.

The hours' caress, the pool and shade trees of paradise

were forgotten in the breeze from your alleyway.

There is nothing on the tablet of my heart but my love's tall alif.

What can I do? My master taught me no other letter.

No astrologer knew the constellations of my fate.

O lord, when I was born of mother earth which stars were rising?

Ever since I became a slave at the door of love's tavern

sorrows come to me each moment with congratulations.

The pupil of my eye drains the blood from my heart.

I deserve it. Why did I give my heart to the darling of others?

Wipe the tears from Hafiz's face with soft curls

or else this endless torrent will uproot me.

*HAFIZ*

Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu

Buddhist, sufi, or zen. Not any religion

or cultural system. I am not from the East

or the West, not out of the ocean or up

from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not

composed of elements at all. I do not exist,

am not an entity in this world or in the next,

did not descend from Adam and Eve or any

origin story. My place is placeless, a trace

of the traceless. Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved, have seen the two

worlds as one and that one call to and know,

first, last, outer, inner, only that

breath breathing human being..

Doing as others told me, I was blind.

Coming when others called me, I was lost.

Then I left everyone, including myself.

Then I found everyone, including myself.

Har taraf har jagah beshumar aadmi

Phir bhi tanhaiyon ka shikaar aadmi

Subah se shaam tak bojh dhota hua

Apni hi laash ka khud mazaar aadmi

... ...

Har taraf bhaagte daudhte raaste

Har taraf aadmi ka shikaar aadmi

Roz jeeta hua roz marta hua

Har naye din naya intezar aadmi

Zindagi ka mukkaddar safar dar safar

Aakhri saans tak bekaraar aadmi

Wafa k qaid khano men sazain kb badlati hen,

Badalta dil ka mosam he hawain kb badalti hen.

Meri sari duain "tum" se hi mansoob rehti hen,

Muhbt agr ho sachi to duain kb badalti hen.

Koi pa kr nibhata he koi kho kr nibhata he,

Naye andaz hote hen wafain kb badalti hen.

Deep jis ka sirf mehellaat hi main jalay,

Chand logon ki khushyon ko lay ker chalay,

Wo jo saye main har maslihat kay palay;

Aisay dastoor ko,

Subh e bay noor ko,

Main naheen maanta,

Main naheen jaanta.

Main bhee kha’if naheen takhta e daar say,

Main bhee Mansoor hoon, keh do aghyaar say,

Kyun daraatay ho zindaan ki divar say,

Zulm ki baat ko,

Jehel ki raat ko,

Main naheen maanta,

Main naheen jaanta.

Phool shaakhon pay khilnay lagay tum kaho,

Jaam rindon ko milnay lagay tum kaho,

Chak seenon kay silnay lagay tum kaho,

Iss khulay jhoot ko,

Zehan ki loot ko,

Main naheen maanta,

Main naheen jaanta.

Tum nay loota hai sadyon hamara sakoon,

Ab na hum per chalay ga tumhara fasoon,

Chara gar main tumhain kiss tara say kahoon?

Tum naheen charaagar,

Koi maanay magar,

Main naheen maanta,

Main naheen jaanta.
