do chashmat ki tir-e-bala mi-zanad
Interesting Fact
اردو منظوم ترجمہ از عزیزؔ وارثی دہلوی
do chashmat ki tīr-e-balā mī-zanad
chunīñ tiir bar mā chirā mī-zanad
Your eyes — both — are shooting arrows, cruel and bewitching.
But why are those arrows turned upon me?
kamāñ jānib-e-dīgare mī-kashad
vale tiir bar jān-e-mā mī-zanad
The bow is meant to tighten against others,
And yet, its shaft finds its way to my heart.
zahe ġhamza kaz shoḳhī-o-chābukī
kujā mī-numāyad kujā mī-zanad
Ah, her eyes! What can be said of them?
They glance one way, but claim their prey elsewhere.
navā mī-zanad bulbul az rāh-e-ishq
vale rāh-e-īñ be-navā mī-zanad
The nightingale sings upon the road of love,
But its song lingers only as an echo among the barren wastes of desolation.
ma-rez āb-e-'ḳhusrav' hamīñ ġham bas ast
ki ātish darīñ mubtalā mī-zanad
Khusrau, weep no more — No further tears remain in your eyes;
Enough that beloved has kindled in your soul the burning flame of love.
do chashmat ki tir-e-bala mi-zanad
chunin tir bar ma chira mi-zanad
Your eyes — both — are shooting arrows, cruel and bewitching.
But why are those arrows turned upon me?
kaman jaanib-e-digare mi-kashad
wale tir bar jaan-e-ma mi-zanad
The bow is meant to tighten against others,
And yet, its shaft finds its way to my heart.
zahe ghamza kaz shoKHi-o-chabuki
kuja mi-numayad kuja mi-zanad
Ah, her eyes! What can be said of them?
They glance one way, but claim their prey elsewhere.
nawa mi-zanad bulbul az rah-e-ishq
wale rah-e-in be-nawa mi-zanad
The nightingale sings upon the road of love,
But its song lingers only as an echo among the barren wastes of desolation.
ma-rez aab-e-'KHusraw' hamin gham bas ast
ki aatish darin mubtala mi-zanad
Khusrau, weep no more — No further tears remain in your eyes;
Enough that beloved has kindled in your soul the burning flame of love.
