Mast Nazaron Se Allah Bachaaye... (Allah save me from drunken eyes) I have seen you in the innocent spring I have seen you among the stars My beloved! I swear upon your veiled face I have seen you in midst of tear drops Be it any time, I spend it in laughter Inhaling the fragrance from the flowers Borrowing light from the stars The beauty of Beloved do I portray... I go asleep in concealing the secret of your assembly Or else these people are seen to be awake In my garment are nothing but thorns You seem to be a buyer of flowers On the last day who will testify for me, O Goblet? Everyone seems to be facing towards you... Much did I remember my parted lover today Much did I remember my ruined garden When any misfortune of Destiny has conquered us Much did I remember the entangled tresses of Beloved. 'Tis not must, That every evening has a morn. Sleep shall come in the bed of agony too, 'Tis not must, That my head rests at your bosom. 'Tis not must The sajdah that the Sheikh performs At the masjid for the Lord Carries any effect. It is must, That everyone cast their sight At the Saqi. But 'tis not must That Saqi's eyes fall upon everyone. From Drunken eyes... Save me, O Allah! (Loose translation) Excerpts from a song by Fateh Ali Khan. The interpretation is open to all. :) The vocals is available @ http://www.jaihoon.com/studio/nazar.htm |
