14 NOT TONIGHT

          14  NOT TONIGHT

O please don’t touch my sore spot
And please for God’s sake not tonight
It’s finally over, the terrible blight
And I’ve gone through a heck of a lot
So please for God’s sake not tonight

Of pain and sorrow remind me not
For it’s been truly a nightmare
What happens now I do not care
And what it takes I haven’t got
So touch you not my sore spot
At least for God’s sake not tonight


                URDU POEM

                AAJ KI RAAT

Aaj ki raat saaz e dard na chairh

Dukh say bharpoor din tamaam hoay
Aur kal ki khabar kisay maaloom
Doash o farda ki mit chuki haen hudpood
Ho na ho ab sahar, kisay maaloom

Zindagi heetch laikin aaj ki raat
Eizadiat hay mumkin aaj ki raat
Aaj ki raat saaz e dard na chairh

Ab na dohra fasaanaha e alam
Apni kismat pay soagwaar na ho
Fikr e farda utaar day dil say
Umr e rafta pay ashkbaar na ho

Ahd e gham ki hikaayataen mat poochh
Ho chukaen sab shikaayataen, mat poochh
Aaj ki raat saaz e dard na chairh
