84 MY SILLY LITTLE HEART THEY ALL SCOLD

84  MY SILLY LITTLE HEART THEY ALL SCOLD

My silly little heart they all scold
They say it has an ailment old

Its many wounds and when they see
They show not a bit of sympathy

And when they find that it’s a wreck
They shrug and say – O what the heck

And when they witness in it a dart
They simply conclude, it’s not very smart

And when they see it yearn and crave
They think it’s just a bonded slave

But, FAIZ, in fact it’s terribly abused
And on top of it, it’s very confused

                    URDU POEM
                        GHAZAL

Kis shehr na shohra hua naadaani e dil ka
Kis per na khula raaz pareeshaani e dil ka

Aao keraen mehfil pay zar e zakhm numaayaan
Chercha hay bohat baisar o samaani e dil ka

Daekh aa'aen chalo koo e nigaaraan ka kharaaba
Shaayad koie mehram milay weeraani e dil ka

Poochho toe idhar teerfigan kon hay yaaro
Saunpa tha jisay kaam nigehbaani e dil ka

Daekho toe kidhar aaj rukh e baad e saba hay
Kis reh say payaam aaya hay zindaani e dil ka

Utray thay kabhee, FAIZ, wo aaiena e dil maen
Aalam hay wohi aaj bhee hairaani e dil ka
