100 ALONE AND LONELY I WAS ONE NIGHT

100  ALONE AND LONELY I WAS ONE NIGHT

Alone and lonely I was one night
My house was dark and there was no light
I thought I was under a spell
Or was it a dream, I could not tell

There was no pain; there was no fear
But neither was there any hope or cheer
It was all very empty and quiet everywhere
With not even a stir in the surrounding air

But even though it was all empty and bare
I couldn’t help feeling that she was there
And even in that very calm atmosphere
Her melodious voice I could easily hear

                        URDU POEM
          AAJ SHAB KOIE NAHEEN HAY

Aaj shab dil kay qareen koie naheen hay
Aankh say dour e tilismat kay dar wa haen kaie
Khaab dar khaab mahallaat kar dar wa haen kaie
Aur makeen koie naheen hay

Aaj shab dil kay qareen koie naheen hay
Koie naghma, koie khushboo, koie kaafirsoorat
Koie ummeed, koie aas musaafirsoorat
Koie gham, koie kasak,koie shak koie yaqeen
Koie naheen hay

Aaj shab dil kay qareen koie naheen hay
Tum ager ho toe meray paas ho ya dour ho tum
Her ghharhi saayager e khaatir e ranjoor ho tum
Aur naheen ho toe haheen, koie naheen, koie naheen hay
Aaj shab dil kay qareen koie naheen hay
