47 IF OUR WAYWARD HEARTS...

47  IF OUR WAYWARD HEARTS WE CAN ONLY CONTROL

Let’s sit and drink in the moonlit night
O let’s not worry and just get tight

O maid of the bar do bring some wine
And beam and gleam to make it shine

And let me watch your lovely face
I want to enjoy your beauty and grace

And let me recall the good old days
Those cheerful times, those happy ways

I don’t want to think of sorrow and pain
And I’m not here to sit and complain

But a moment of joy is hard to obtain
For the fate is cruel and inhumane

This love can bring us a lot of blight
And rivals galore with whom to fight

So, sure I am that we’ll all agree
That calm and quiet it’s best to be

And says our FAIZ we can reach the goal
If our wayward hearts we can only control

              URDU POEM

Aa'ay kuchh abr, kuchh sharaab aa'ay
Is kay baad aa'ay jo azaab aa'ay

Baam e meena say maahtaab utray
Dast e saaqi maen aaftaab aa'ay

Her rag e khoon maen phir charaghaan ho
Saamnay phir wo bainaqaab aa'ay

Umr kay her waraq pay dil ko nazar
Taeri mehr o wafa kay baab aa'ay

Ker raha tha gham e jahaan ka hisaab
Aaj tum yaad baihisaab aa'ay

Na gaie taeray gham ki sardaari
Dil maen yuin roaz inqalaab aa'ay

Jal uthay bazm e ghair kay dar o baam
Jab bhee hum khaanumaankharaab aa'ay

Is terheh apni khamashi goonji
Goya her simt say jawaab aa'ay

FAIZ thi raah sar ba sar manzil
Hum jahaan ponhchay kaamyaab aa'ay
