For me the sight of a beloved is more celebratory than many a thousand Eids He who is not in love cannot know my worthHe who is in love will know my feelings with tears I pray that no one should part from his beloved Though countless bonds I have seen Yet, o my friend, differences have to occur I do not remember the faces of those friends without whom I could not live even for a Moment Those who part leave no trace behind, its like changing colours of the evening light O Fareed, parting of one friend has left me in eternal tears Who should greet with good tidings on the day of Eid?For that was the day I parted from my friend The fate played a deep trick with me by making me mournful lover on the day of Eid celebration O Fareed, I’ll celebrate Eid thousands of times over when I’m united with my parted friend I pine for my Beloved; my eyes are shedding tears like torrential rain I wish and pray to God that the concept of separation vanishes from the world No one should suffer the loss of the Beloved nor parting I can see the tall palm trees all around me but I cannot see my Beloved The streets have a deserted look and so have my home O Fareed, how can one live in a place where Where one cannot see the Beloved. I wish to God all your misfortunes come My way And you don’t suffer a slightest hurt without I wear the mask of joy but within I cryThe lover’s heart is delicate like glass and a mere push would break it into pieces O Manzoor, what is the worth of a life to live without a beloved? Mounted on the camel Sassi taunts her beloved, Pannu "O Pannu, such behaviour is unbecoming of the honourable people "But for you Sassi wouldn’t have been disgraced." O Sattar, come and see how Pannu is equally disgraced in the wilderness I’m eagerly waiting for the parted friends to be united and the wounds of love are re-opened For the distant ones I shed tears God knows what delays him; he hasn’t come to me for years O Fareed let God bring prosperity to the places squalid O my consular, you have not kept the promise of eternal love With me took love to such intense heights, but now who are you dealing with?The entanglement with you has given cause to my friends and relations to taunt me Many monsoons have gone by, but my longings are everlasting for you, o my beloved I still pine for you Then, why d’you ask me what my wish is? What harm would it be if you come? I still pine for you The separation has deprived of my peace Unendingly the tears stream down from my eyes People remember God, I remember only you I pine for you The night went without sleep and the morning arrived There is darkness in my eyes To heap of dust the life is reduced without the beloved I know not what has delayed my beloved I pine for you How can I pass my time without my beloved how can I sleep when the tears do not cease to flow? How can I make my mad heart to see sense? How can I forget my beloved when I have no hold over my heart?I pine for you The sadness is that I’m losing the hold on the emotions of remembrance The life has abandoned me since you’ve been annoyed with me Even my last breath is for you And the eyes are gushing with tears O star of my hopes, where are you hidden? Your estrangement is like a living death for me My hopes and desires are wailing and the eyes are gushing with tears When I recall the tender moments with you the clouds of anguish cause fear in my heart The noose of sorrow is suffocating me and the eyes are gushing with tears Even the hopes and wishes have been turned into despair To heave the sighs of torment has become My lotThere is no remedy for such affliction the parting has taught me things new God knows it never gave me any peace With Pasha the love remained unfulfilled the eyes are gushing with tears |
