DIL HI TO HAI NA SAMJHO ISHQ: MP 3

[B]Heart it is, no

GHAZAL EXTRAORDINAIRE: ABIDA PARVEEN:



Singer: Abida Parveen
Lyrics: Mirza Ghalib

DIL HI TO HAI: MP 3

Heart it is, not a brick or stone
Why shouldn't it feel the pain?
Let none tyrannize this heart
Or I shall cry again and again
Neither the temple, nor the mosque
Nor on someone's door or porch
I await on the path where He will tread
Why others should compel me to go?
The illumined grace that lights up the heart
And glows like the midday sun
That Self that annihilates all sights
When then it hides in the mysterious net?
The amorous glance is the deadly dagger
And the arrows of emotions are fatal
Your image may be equally powerful
Why should it appear before you?
The rules of life and bonds of sorrow

DIL HI TO HAI: MP 3

Dil hii to hai na sango khisht dard se bhar na aaye kyuun
Heart it is, not a brick or stone why shouldn't it feel the pain?
Roenge ham hazaar baar koii hamen sataaye kyuun
Let none tyrannize this heart or I shall cry again and again

Dair nahiin haram nahiin dar nahiin aastaan nahiin
Neither the temple, nor the mosque nor on someone's door or porch
Baithe hain rahaguzar pe ham gair hamen uthaaye kyuun
I await the path where he will tread why others should compel me to go?

Dil hii to hai na sango khisht dard se bhar na aaye kyuun
Heart it is, not a brick or stone why shouldn't it feel the pain?

Haan vo nahiin khudaa parast, jaao vo bevafaa sahii
The illumined grace lights up the heart and glows like the midday sun
Jisako ho diinodil aziiz, usakii galii men jaaye kyuun
That Self annihilates all sights then it hides in the mysterious net?

Dil hii to hai na sango khisht dard se bhar na aaye kyuun
Heart it is, not a brick or stone why shouldn't it feel the pain?

Qaide hayaato bande gam asl men donon ek hain
The rules of life and bonds of sorrow in reality are the one manifestation
Maut se pahale aadamii gam se najaat paaye kyuun
Before realizing the ultimate truth how can then one attain liberation?

Dil hii to hai na sango khisht dard se bhar na aaye kyuun
Heart it is, not a brick or stone why shouldn't it feel the pain?

Ghalib e khastaa ke bagair kaun se kaam band hain
Without the wretched "Ghalib" has any activity come to a halt?
Roiie zaarzaar kyaa, kiijie haaye haaye kyuun
What then is the need to cry? what then is the need to brood?

Dil hii to hai na sango khisht dard se bhar na aaye kyuun
Heart it is, not a brick or stone why shouldn't it feel the pain?
Roenge ham hazaar baar koii hamen sataaye kyuun
Let none tyrannize this heart or I shall cry again and again

Firaq Audio CD Abida Parveen is considered by many as one of the greatest singers of the sufiana kalaam. Everything about the artist is noticeably different from her contemporaries. A loose full-sleeved kurta and shalwar with Sindhi ajrak chadar draped over her shoulder is the trademark dress of Abida Parveen. With no make-up on and very little adornment of any kind she comes of as a devoted and honest performer of her craft. Its this faithful devotion to the Sufis that brings about the kind of intensity that over powers the audience. Its a pleasant experience listening and watching her sing. Abida is clearly at her best with the Punjabi Sufi poetry of Bulle Shah and Waris Shah. Much like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan her awesome power to involve the listener in her state of passion lies in her voice. Be it Punjabi, Sindhi, Urdu or Saraiki, all lyrics are rendered with the same intensity having a captivating effect on the audience. The range of music in this collection guarantees to benefit the owner one-way or the other. One would appreciate the varying rhythm and sudden changes in intensity of Mendha ishq wee toon and Jhok ladae veen yaar deewana. An entire tape dedicated to the kalaam of Mian Mohammed Baksh and Pir Meher Ali Shah ensures that the listener enjoys the full range of Abidas talents. Clapping to the rhythmic beat of the ever popular Sakhi Lal Shahbaz and Ho Jamalo and savoring the lyrics of Keh Ghungroo Toot Gaye the owner would stand corrected in his or her decision to purchase the collection.

HAR EK BAAT PE KEHTE HO:

Har ek baat pe kehte ho tum ke too kya hai ?
Tumheen kaho ke yeh andaaz-e-guftgoo kya hai ?

(Jalaa hai jism jahaan dil bhee jal gaya hoga)2
Kuredate ho jo ab raakh, justjoo kya hai ?

Har ek baat pe kehte ho tum ke too kya hai ?

(Na shole mein yeh karishma na barq mein yeh ada)2
Koee batao ki woh shokh-e-tund_khoo kya hai ?

Har ek baat pe kehte ho tum ke too kya hai ?

(Ragon mein daudte firne ke ham naheen qaayal)2
Jab aankh hee se na tapka to fir lahoo kya hai ?

Har ek baat pe kehte ho tum ke too kya hai ?

(Rahee na taaqat-e-guftaar, aur agar ho bhee)2
To kis ummeed pe kahiye ke aarzoo kya hai ?

Har ek baat pe kehte ho tum ke too kya hai ?

(Huwa hai shaah ka musaahib, fire hai itaraata)2

BEKHUDI BE SABAB NAHI GHALIB:

Lyrics: Mirza Ghalib

Bekhudi besabab nahi 'Ghalib'
Kuch to hai jis ki pardadari hai

Bekhudi besabab nahi 'Ghalib'

phir usi bewafa pe marte hain
phir wahi zindagi hamari hai

Bekhudi besabab nahi 'Ghalib'
Kuch to hai jis ki pardadari hai

phir diya para-e-jigar ne sawal
ek fariyad-o-ah-o-zari hai

Bekhudi besabab nahi 'Ghalib'

phir hue hain gawah-e-ishq talab

DIL HI TO HAI: MP 3

Thought I would send in a couple of improvements.

Dil hii to hai na sang-o-khisht, dard se bhar na aaye kyuun
It is just a heart, not stone or brick, why would it not feel the pain?
Royenge ham hazaar baar, koii hamen sataaye kyuun
I shall cry a thousand times, why should anyone tease me?

Dair nahiin haram nahiin dar nahiin aastaan nahiin
There is no place for me, no mosque, temple, nor a doorway or shrine
Baithe hain rahaguzar pe ham ghair hamen uthaaye kyuun
so I sit and wait for him by the roadside, why should anyone rouse me??

Dil hii to hai na sang-o-khisht, dard se bhar na aaye kyuun
It is just a heart, not stone or brick, why would it not feel the pain?
Royenge ham hazaar baar koii hamen sataaye kyuun
I shall cry a thousand times, why should anyone tease me?

Haan vo nahiin khudaa parast, jaao vo bevafaa sahii
yes, he is not pious, granted he is unfaithful
Jisako ho diin-o-dil aziiz, usakii galii men jaaye kyuun
Why should we go (only) to the religious person?

Dil hii to hai na sang-o-khisht, dard se bhar na aaye kyuun
It is just a heart, not stone or brick, why would it not feel the pain?
Royenge ham hazaar baar koii hamen sataaye kyuun
I shall cry a thousand times, why should anyone tease me?

Qaid-e-hayaat-o-band-e-gham asl men donon ek hain
imprisoned in life, or bound in sorrow, it is really the same thing
Maut se pahale aadamii gham se najaat paaye kyuun
how can you be free from sorrow before you leave this life?

Dil hii to hai na sang-o-khisht, dard se bhar na aaye kyuun
It is just a heart, not stone or brick, why would it not feel the pain?
Royenge ham hazaar baar koii hamen sataaye kyuun
I shall cry a thousand times, why should anyone tease me?

Ghalib e khasta ke baghair kaun se kaam band hain
Without the wretched "Ghalib" has anything been completed?
Roiye zaar zaar kyaa, kiijiye haaye haaye kyuun
What then is the need to cry? why beat your chest in lament?

Dil hii to hai na sang-o-khisht, dard se bhar na aaye kyuun
It is just a heart, not stone or brick, why would it not feel the pain?

But their hearts rarely meets

Aadmi Aadmi Say Milta Hai

Bhool Jata Hoon Mein Sitam Us Ke
I keep forgetting her mistakes
(Woh Kuch Is Saadgi Say Milta Hai)2
For she meets me with such humility
(Dil Magar Kam Kisi Say Milta Hai)2
But the hearts rarely meets

Aadmi Aadmi Say Milta Hai

Aaj Kia Baat Hai Ke Phoolon Ka
What's the matter today that the flowers'

Colour seems to resemble your smile

The one who ins't found despite finding
Tu Joe kar dil Usee Say Milta Hai
My heart ardently craves for her alone

Aadmi Aadmi Say Milta Hai

Rooh Ko Bhi Mazaa Muhabbat Ka

Will get back to this one with some more indept translations: for instance the opening shayer can also literally means

Aadmi Aadmi Say Milta Hai

A person meets another person
but the heart does not find everyone pleasant.

I forget his injustice [to me]

What is it today that the flowers’
color matches your laughter?

One who is difficult to reach even after trying

HUSN GAMZE KI KASHAKASH SE:

Singer: Abida Parveen
Lyrics: Mirza Ghalib

This is a rarely heard but beautiful and touching poem by Ghalib. Mirza ji is saying that no one can love as deeply as he could, and the future of Love itself is in jeopardy after his death.

Abidaji did not sing all these verses maybe, but I felt it would be worth including these.

husn Ghamze kii kashaakash se chhuTaa mere baad
After me, the beauty was free of the power of my glances
baare aaraam se hai ahl-e-jafaa mere baad
At last, she rests without fear of being jilted, after me


ma.nsab-e-shefatagii ke koii qaabil na rahaa
no one was worthy of the status of lover, after me
huii ma_azuulii-e-a.ndaaz-o-adaa mere baad
the style, the panache, was dethroned, after me


shama bujhatii hai to us me.n se dhuaa.N uThataa hai
when the flame goes out, a smoke rises where it used to be,
sholaa-e-ishq siyahaposh huaa mere baad
the flame of love was indeed dark, after me


Khuu.N hai dil Khaak me.n ahavaal-e-butaa.N par, yaanii
if you ask her condition, there is blood, the heart in ashes
unake naaKhun hue mohataaj-e-hinaa mere baad
her nails need the coloring of henna, after me


daraKhur-e-arz nahii.n jauhar-e-bedaad ko jaa
there is no need to draw attention to the jewels of injustice
nigah-e-naaz hai surme se Khafaa mere baad
the once-proud eyes now eschew eye make-up, after me


hai junuu.N ahl-e-junuu.N ke liye aaGosh-e-vidaa
I am in ecstasy at the thought of embracing my farewell
chaak hotaa hai garebaa.N se judaa mere baad
the slit (from my lover's knife) and my neck part, after me


kaun hotaa hai hariif-e-mai-e-mard-afgan-e-ishq
who can refuse wine after discarding his love?
hai mukarrar lab-e-saaqii pe salaa mere baad
the invitation on my lover's lips is fixed


Gham se marataa huu.N ke itanaa nahii.n duniyaa me.n koii
I am dying from the sadness of thinking that
ke kare ta_aziiyat-e-mehar-o-vafaa mere baad
there is no one to mourn the passing of love, after me


aaye hai bekasi-e-ishq pe ronaa 'Ghalib'
Ghalib! The helplessness of love brings tears
kisake ghar jaayegaa sailaab-e-balaa mere baad
where will this flood of misfortune go, after me?
