79 BUT NOBODY NOW CALLS ME HER BEAU

79  BUT NOBODY NOW CALLS ME HER BEAU

There is no rival, there is no foe
But nobody now calls me her beau

But although quite far she may be
She’ll always be very close to me

And I’ll stay very close to her door
Even if it makes her neighbors sore

And I will always worship my doll
And her my goddess I’ll always call

And though she is cruel and callous to me
Away from my heart she will never be

                        URDU POEM
                          GHAZAL

Na ab raqeeb, na naaseh, na ghamgusaar koie
Tum aashna thay toe theen aashnaaian kya kya

Juda thay hum toe mayassar theen qurbataen kitni
Baham huay toe parhi haen judaaian kya kya

Poonhach hay dar pay teray kitnay moatabar thehray
Agercheh reh maen hoien jaghansaaian kya kya

Hum aisay saadadiloun ki niaazmandi say
Butoun nay ki haen jahaan maen khudaaian kya kya

Sitam pay khush kabhee, lutf o karam say ranjeeda
Sikhaaien tum nay humaen kajadaaian kya kya
