17  The Breeze Is Bringing The Scent Of A Friend


This waiting and waiting must come to an end
The breeze is bringing the scent of a friend

The bands of flowers are about to come
For the spring is arriving, beating the drum

The rules of loving are about to change
The beautiful dames act no more strange

The lovers are also changing their tone
They no more moan; they no more groan

Now a gal, when she hears her lover cry
She comes and kisses his tearful eye

Their lovers, the beauties do not berate
And the lovers don’t also bemoan their fate

And now when SHAIDA is without his girl
He doesn't call night her long black curl

Lagi hay dhalnay shab e intazaar kehtay haen
Naseem laie hay boo e nigaar kehtay haen

Gul o gulaab ko nairang e rang o boo day ker
Gaya hay qaafla e naubahaar kehtay haen

Badal gaay haen qawaneen e aashiqi saaray
Ab un ka ahd bhee hat ustawaar kehtay haen

Riwaaj e ahl e wafa bhee badal gaya hay bohat
Qaraar say hay dil e baiqaraar kehtay haen

Wo sun kay bismil e ulfat ki naala o zaari
Bohat hay khaatir e naazuk pay baar kehtay haen

Zara toe daekhiay daanish ki khudfaraibi ko
Qaza ko ahl e khirad ikhtiaar kehtay haen

Shab e firaaq ki zulmat ko daekh ker SHAIDA
Afi e gaisoo e shabrang e yaar kehtay haen
