Faqirana Aye Sada Kar chale

Courtesy

faqirana aye sada kar chale
miyan khush raho ham dua kar chale

As a fakir I did come to thee yelling I went away.
Be happy chum-buddy praying I went away.


jo tujh bin na jine ko kahte the ham
so is ahd ko ab wafa kar chale

I won’t live without you this I’d avowed.
To this pledge firm to be, on with it I went away.

koi na-ummidana karte nigah
so tum ham se munh bhi chipa kar chale

Giving me no hopes, give me such a look.
Hiding face from me, you simply went away.

bahot arzu thi gali ki teri
so yan se lahu main naha kar chale
To be to your street, greatly I’d wished.
Blood-bathed there from me, I left and went away.

dikhai diye yun ki bekhud kiya
hamain ap se bhi juda kar chale
Your gaze made me disown my senses.
Separating thus you from me, I estranged away.

jabin sajda karte hi karte gai
haq-e-bandagi ham ada kar chale
My forehead to the ground, each step I’d prayed.
Rightful duty, that comes for thee; I took it all the way.

parastish ki yan tain ki ay but tujhe
nazar main sabon ki Khuda kar chale
I adored you so much O idol my love.
And you had become a deity, this all fancied away.

gai umr dar band-e-fikr-e-gazal
so is fan ko aisas bara kar chale
Composing gazals, whole life for it I’d spent.
Made to blossom this artistry via this way.

kahen kya jo puche koi ham se "Meer"
jahan main tum aye the, kya kar chale
What should I tell if someone asks me, O Meer!
In this world you come to be, what you did going away.
