LET THE CINDER BURNEntry #419729
LET THE CINDER BURN


Let the cinder burn yet more,
Let wailing heart pine yet more.

In the stark, lonely darkness,
Let lonely spark shine yet more.

Don’t lament your fate. O rose,
Let the petals drop yet more.

Let the pricking of the thorn,
Bring out piercing cry yet more.

In the season of the fall,
Let all be barren once more.

At the time of departure,
Don’t beg me to stop once more.

Khalish let the heart be hurt,
Let in the dagger yet more.


• Written in aa, 7-7 format

• Translated from the original poem, reproduced below, which is included in "HINDI GHAZALS IN ROMAN SCRIPT-Pt.2" . The translation was done at personal request of a reviewer who sent the following review for it: “I actually read most of these, even if I cannot understand them. I would love to hear them spoken. I did not see any english translation here, but I would love to see just one translated to actually see it transform. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. They look absolutely beautiful to me”.

शोले को भड़कने दो


शोले को भड़कने दो
इस दिल को तड़पने दो

सुनसान अंधेरों में
आतिश को चमकने दो

शिकवा न करो ऐ गुल
पंखुरी बिखरने दो

मत रोको कांटों को
कोई टीस निकलने दो

जाती ये बहारें हैं
गुलशन को उजड़ने दो

है वक्त जुदाई का
रोको न, बिछड़ने दो

हो कुछ तो खलिश दिल में
खन्जर को उतरने दो.

shole ko bhaDakane do



shole ko bhaDakane do
is dil ko taDapane do

sunasaan andhero^ mein
aatish ko chamakane do

shikawaa na karo ai gul
pankhuree bikharne do

mat roko kaa^to^ ko
koee Tees nikalane do

jaatee ye bahaarei^ hai^
gulshan ko ujaDane do

hai waqt judaaee kaa
roko na bichhaDane do

ho kucch to ‘khalish’ dil mein
khanzar ko utarane do
