(Bang-e-Dra-109) Sair-e-Falak
Sair-e-Falak
Strolling In The Celestial World
Asman Par Huwa Guzr Mera
As only imagination was my fellow‐traveler
My path happened to pass through the sky
Jan’ane Wala Charakh Par Mera
I was flying constantly and no one
Was acquainted with me in the sky
Raaz-e-Sar Basta Tha Safar Mera
The stars were staring at me in surprise
My journey was a well guarded secret
Iss Purane Nizam Se Nikla
I escaped from the alternation of day and night
I escaped from this ancient order of things
Khatam-e-Arzoo-e-Didah-o-Ghosh
What can I tell you what Paradise is
It is the climax of material longings
Be-Hijabana Hoor Jalwa Farosh
Birds were singing in the branches of Tubah
Unabashed Houri’s beauty was present all around
Peene Walon Mein Shor-e-Nosha Nosh
Beautiful cup‐bearers with wine‐cups in hand
The audience was crying drink more and more”
Aik Tareek Khana, Sard-o-Khamosh
Far from the Paradise the eye observed
There was a dark house, cold and silent
Uss Ki Tareekiyon Se Dosh Ba Dosh
Countenance of Qais and Layla’s material form
Were shoulder to shoulder with its darkness
Kurra-e-Zamhareer Ho Ru-Posh
It was so cold that being embarrassed by it
The Arctic Circle was concealing its face
Hiarat Angaiz Tha Jawab-e-Sarosh
When I inquired about its condition
The reply of the angel was strange
Naar Se, Noor Se Tehi Agosh
“This cold place is called Hell
It is deprived of fire and light
Jin Se Larzan Hain Mard-e-Ibrat Kosh
The heat of its flames which is borrowed
Terrifies the people seeking admonition
Apne Angaar Saath Late Hain
When the earth’s people come here
They bring their embers with them”
