Your Servant Is Bound, For My Heart And Soul You are Controlling

Hukm Naafiz Hai Tera Khaamah Tera Saif Teri
Dam Me Jo Chaahe Kare Daur Hai Shaha Tera

Your Order Is Implemented, Your Pen Is Your Sword, Commanding
In A Moment You May Do As You Wish, For You Are The Reigning King

Jis Ko Lalkaar De Aata To Ulta Phir Jaaye
Jis Ko Chamkaar Le Har Phir Ke Wo Tera, Tera

Rejected Is The One Whom You Threaten, He Is Left Wandering
He Who Attains Your Love, Is Still Yours, Even If He Was Previously Drifting

Kunjiyañ Dil Ki Khuda Ne Tujhe Deeñ Aisi Kar
Ke Ye Seena Ho Muhabbat Ka Khazeena Tera

You Have With You The Keys To The Hearts, This Is By Allah’s Bestowing
To Turn My Heart Into A Treasure Trove Of Your Love, Is All That I Am Asking

Dil Pe Kundah Ho Tera Naam Ke Wo Duzd e Rajeem
Ultay Hee Paa-oñ Phiray Dekh Ke Tughra Tera

Upon My Heart Your Name Should Be Engraved, So Striking
On Seeing This Amulet, On His Heels, The Cursed Devil Will Be Fleeing

Naz’a Me, Gor Me, Meezaan Pe, Sar e Pul Pe Kahiñ
Na Ch’hutay Haath Se Daamaan e Mu’alla Tera

In My Last Moments, In My Grave, At The Scale, On The Bridge Of Reckoning
I Should Never Let Go; To Your Sacred Spiritual Robe, I Should Be Clinging

Dhoop Mahshar Ki Wo Jaañ Soz Qiyaamat Hai Magar
Mutma-in Huñ Ke Mere Sar Pe Hai Pal’lah Tera

On The Day Of Reckoning, The Intensity Of The Sun Will Be Scorching
But I Am Content, For Above My Head, Your Sacred Robe Is Shielding

Bahjat Is Sir’r Ki Hai Jo Bahjat ul Asraar Me Hai
Ke Falak Waar Mureedoñ Pe Hai Saaya Tera

Glad-tidings Of This Secret, Your ‘Bahjat ul Asraar’ Is Manifesting
Like The Sky, Over The Heads Of Your Devotees, Your Shade Is Protecting

Ay RAZA Cheest e Gham Ar Jumlah Jahaañ Dushman e Tust
Kardah Umm Maa Man e Khud Qibla e Haajaat e Raa

O Raza! Even If The Entire World Is Your Enemy, You Should Not Be Caring
I Have Found My Place Of Refuge; He Is My Relief, Always Assisting

Hai Khaak Se Ta’meer Mazaar e Shah e Kaunain
Ma’mur Isi Khaak Se Qiblah Hai Hamaara

From Dust, Is Constructed, The Sacred Shrine Of The King Of The Creation
From This Very Dust Is Constructed The Kaa’ba, Our Qibla Direction

Kharaab Haal Kiya Dil Ko Pur Malaal Kiya

Kharaab Haal Kiya Dil Ko Pur Malaal Kiya,
Tumhaare Kooche Se Rukhsat Kiya Nihaal Kiya
I Am In A Deplorable Condition, My Heart Is Sad & Gloomy
When From Your Court I Am Departing, How Could I Ever Be Happy?
Na Roo e Gul Abhi Dekha Na Boo e Gul Soonghi
Qaza Ne Laa Ke Qafas Me Shikasta Baal Kiya
Even Before Seeing The Face Of My Rose, Or Smelling It Sweetly
My Wings Were Clipped, And I Was Locked In The Cage Of Destiny
Wo Dil Ke Khooñ Shuda Armaan Thay Jis Me Mal Daala
Fughaan Ke Gor e Shaheedaañ Ko Paaye Maal Kiya
The Slain Desires Buried In My Heart, Were Also Crushed Ruthlessly
My Desires, Which Are Like The Graves Of Martyrs, Were Ruined Mercilessly
Ye Raay Kya Thee Wahaañ Se Palat’ne Ki Ay Nafs
Sitamgar! Ulti Ch’huri Se Hameñ Halaal Kiya
O My Inner-self! How Did You Advise Me To Depart From There So Easily
O Tyrant! Without Me Being Aware, You Sacrificed Me Treacherously
Ye Kab Ki Mujh Se Adaawat Thee Tujh Ko Ay Zaalim
Chura Ke Sang e Dar e Paak Sar Wabaal Kiya
O Tyrant! For How Long Have You Been Holding Against Me This Enmity?
By Removing Me From His Sacred Doorpost, You Plunged Me Into Calamity
Chaman Se Phenk Diya Aashiyaana e Bulbul
Ujaar’a Khaana e Be-kas Bara Kamaal Kiya
The Nest Of The Nightingale, You Threw Away From The Garden Of Eternity
Are You Proud Of Yourself, For Ruining This Beggar’s Home, Completely?
75
Tera Sitam Zada Aankhoñ Ne Kya Bigaara Tha
Ye Kya Sama-i Ke Door Un Se Wo Jamaal Kiya
What Harm Did These Oppressed Eyes Cause You, Tell Me Truly?
What Were You Thinking, When You Distanced Them From That Beauty
Huzoor Un Ke Khayaal e Watan Mitaana Tha
Ham Aap Mit’t Gaye Ach’che Faraagh Baal Kiya
While In His Court, I Should Have Demolished The Thoughts Of My Country
Rather I Ruined Myself, While You Kept Me Unperturbed, Deceitfully
Na Ghar Ka Rakha Na Is Dar Ka Haa-e Naa Kaami
Hamaari Be-basi Par Bhi Na Kuch Khayaal Kiya
Neither At Home Nor At His Court You Left Me, Such Failure! Such A Travesty!
Even Then, Upon My Helpless Condition, You Did Not Show Any Pity
Jo Dil Ne Mar Ke Jalaaya Tha Man’natoñ Ka Chiraagh
Sitam Ke Arz Rah Sarsar Zawaal Kiya
The Lamp Of My Vows, Which I Lit In My Heart, While Suffering Immensely
The Stormy Winds On The Path Extinguished It, With Such Tyranny
Madina Chor Ke Weeraana Hind Ka Bhaaya
Ye Kaisa Haa-e Hawaasoñ Ne Ikhtilaal Kiya
You Departed From Madina & Adopted India’s Wilderness, Comfortably
How Did Your Senses Allow Such Disarray, It Is Indeed A Tragedy
Tu Jis Ke Waaste Chor Aaya Taiba Saa Mahboob
Bata To Is Sitam Aara Ne Kya Nihaal Kiya
Tell Me, For The One Whom You Left Madina, The Beautiful City
Did That Tyrant Really Give You That, Which Made You Restful & Happy?
76
Abhi-Abhi To Chaman Me Thay Chehchahe Naa-gaah
Ye Dard Kaisa Ut’ha Jis Ne Jee Nid’haal Kiya
A Short While Ago, Everyone In The Garden Was Chirping Happily,
How Did This Sudden Grief Appear, Causing Me To Become So Weary
Ilaahi Sun Le RAZA Jeete Jee Ke Mawla Ne
Sagaan e Koocha Me Chehra Mera Bahaal Kiya
In His Lifetime May Raza Hear, That His Master Has, O Allah Almighty
Duly Included Him, Amongst The Dogs Of His Most Exalted City

Banda Milne Ko Qareeb e Hazrat e Qaadir Gaya

Banda Milne Ko Qareeb e Hazrat e Qaadir Gaya
Lam’ah e Baatin Me Gumne Jalwa e Zaahir Gaya
To Meet Him, The Most Chosen Servant Went To The Court Of The Almighty
To Be Absorbed In The Unseen Radiances, The Apparent Ray Did Journey
Teri Marzi Paa Gaya Sooraj Phira Ultay Qadam
Teri Ungli Ut’th Gayi Mah Ka Kaleja Chir Gaya
Adhering To Your Wish, The Sun Turned On Its Heels Immediately
As You Raised Your Sacred Finger, The Chest Of The Moon Split Instantly
Bar’h Chali Teri Zia Andheyr Aalam Se Ghataa
Khul Gaya Gaisoo Tera Rahmat Ka Baadal Ghir Gaya
Your Bursts Of Radiance, Caused The Entire Universe To Glow Brightly
As Your Sacred Tresses Spread Out, Clouds Of Mercy Gathered Immediately
Bandh Ga-ee Teri Hawa Saawah Me Khaak Ur’ne Lagi
Bar’h Chali Teri Zia Aatish Pe Paani Phir Gaya
The River Saawah Dried Up, On The Manifestation Of Your Authority
As Your Radiance Spread, The Flame Of Persia Was Extinguished Completely
Teri Rahmat Se Safi-ullah Ka Bera Paar Tha
Tere Sadqe Se Naji-ullah Ka Bajra Tir Gaya
Through Your Mercy, The Matter Of Adam Safi-ullah Was Resolved Easily
Through Your Blessings, The Ark Of Nooh Naji-ullah Sailed Safely
Teri Aamad Thee Ke Bait-ullah Mujre Ko Jhuka
Teri Haybat Thee Ke Har But Thar-thara Kar Gir Gaya
On Your Sacred Birth, The Holy Kaa’ba Bowed Respectfully
It Was Your Awe, That Trembling, Every Idol Fell Down Instantly
78
Momin Un Ka Kya Huwa Allah Uska Ho Gaya,
Kaafir Un Se Kya Phira, Allah Hee Se Phir Gaya.
When A Believer Becomes His, He Becomes The Beloved Of The Almighty
When The Unbeliever Rejects Him, He Turns Away From The Almighty
Wo Ke Us Dar Ka Huwa Khalq e Khuda Us Ki Huwi
Wo Ke Us Dar Se Phira, Allah Hee Se Phir Gaya
He Who Is Humbled At His Court, Allah’s Creation Becomes His, Sincerely
He Who Turns Away From His Court, Has Turned Away From Allah’s Mercy
Mujh Ko Diwaana Bataate Ho Me Wo Hoshiyaar Huñ
Paa-oñ Jab Tof e Haram Me Thak Gaye Sar Phir Gaya
I Am Referred To As Insane, But In Fact I Am So Wise And Witty
When My Feet Are Tired Going Around The Haram, I Use My Head Blissfully
Rahmatul Lil ’Aalameen Aafat Me Huñ Kaisi Karuñ
Mere Mawla Me To Is Dil Se Bala Me Ghir Gaya
O Mercy Unto The Worlds! What Should I Do, I Am Facing Such Calamity?
O My Master, Due To This Heart, I Am Surrounded By This Calamity
Maiñ Tere Haathoñ Ke Sadqe, Kaisi Kankariyaañ Thee Wo
Jin Se Itne Kaafiroñ Ka Daf’atan Munh Phir Gaya
Sacrificed I Am Upon Your Hands, What Pebbles Were They Really?
Through Which The Faces Of So Many Unbelievers, Turned Away Suddenly
Kyuñ Janaab e Bu Hurairah Tha Wo Kaisa Jaam e Sheer
Jis Se Sat’tar Saahiboñ Ka Doodh Se Munh Phir Gaya
Tell Me O Hazrat Abu Hurairah, How Was That Sweet Drink, So Tasty?
By Which The Hunger Of Seventy Men, That Milk Satiated, Completely
79
Waasta Pyaare Ka Aisa Ho Ke Jo Sunni Mare
Yuñ Na Farma-eñ Tere Shaahid Ke Wo Faajir Gaya
When A Person Dies As A Sunni, Such Should Be Your Beloved’s Mercy
O Allah! Your Witnesses Should Not Say, As A Sinner He Died, Corruptly
Arsh Par Dhoomeñ Macheñ Wo Momin e Saleh Mila
Farsh Se Maatam Uth’ay Wo Tayyib o Taahir Gaya
Celebrations Were Sparked On The Arsh, The Pious Believer Arrived Safely
The People On The Earth Mourned, As The Pure & Pious One Left, Sadly
Allah-Allah Ye ‘Uloo e Khaas ‘Abdiyat RAZA
Banda Milne Ko Qareeb e Hazrat e Qaadir Gaya
Glory Be To Allah! O Raza, The Chosen Servant Received Such Superiority
To Meet Him, The Most Chosen Servant Went To The Court Of The Almighty
Thokareñ Khaate Phiroge Unke Dar Par, Par Raho
Qaafila To Ay Raza Aw’wal Gaya Aakhir Gaya
Instead Of Going From Pillar To Post, Stay At His Sacred Court Comfortably
It Makes No Difference, Whether The Travel Group Goes Later Or Early
80

Yet Fortunate Is That Heart, Which Departed From Your Court, Successfully
Dil Hai Wo Dil Jo Teri Yaad Se Ma’moor Raha
Sar Hai Wo Sar Jo Tere Qadmoñ Pe Qurbaan Gaya
A True Heart Is That Heart, Which Glows In Your Love, Splendidly
A Real Head Is That Head, Which Is Sacrificed At Your Sacred Feet, Blissfully
Unheñ Jaana Unheñ Maana Na Rakha Ghayr Se Kaam

I Know & Believe In Him Truly, From The Deviants I Abstained Totally
Hence, As A Muslim I Depart From This World, Praise Be To The Almighty
81
Awr Tum Par Mere Aaqa Ki ‘Inaayat Na Sahi
Najdiyoñ Kalma Parhaane Ka Bhi Ehsaan Gaya
Even Though You Are Unwilling To Acknowledge My Master’s Mercy
O Najdis! You Are Failing To Honour The Kalima He Taught? Such Travesty
Aaj Le Unki Panaah Aaj Madad Maang Un Se
Phir Na Maanenge Qiyaamat Me Agar Maan Gaya
Take Sanctuary In Him Today, Today Seek Out His Special Aid, Sincerely
On The Day Of Reckoning It Will Not Be Accepted, If You Accept It Forcefully
Uf Re Munkir Ye Barha Josh e Ta’as’sub Aakhir
Bheer Me Haath Se Kam Bakht Ke Imaan Gaya
Shame On The Deniers! Such Is The Consequence Of Their Enmity
In The Crowd Of Deviants, The Ill-fated One, Lost His Imaan Completely

Guzre Jis Raah Se
Wo Sayyid e Waala Ho Kar
Guzre Jis Raah Se Wo Sayyid e Waala Ho Kar
Reh Gayi Saari Zameeñ Ambar e Saara Ho Kar
Through Whichever Path The Leader Of The World Passed
Like Pure Amber, The Entire Ground Became Scented
Rukh e Anwar Ki Tajal’li Jo Qamar Ne Dekhi
Rah Gaya Bosa Dah e Naqsh e Kaf e Paa Ho Kar
When The Radiance Of His Glowing Face, The Moon Observed
The Sacred Dust From His Sacred Foot’s Imprint, It Kissed
Waa-e Mahroomi e Qismat Ke Maiñ Phir Ab Ki Baras
Rah Gaya Hamra e Zaw’waar e Madina Ho Kar
Alas! Such Deprivation Is In My Destiny, That This Year Has Also Passed
Without Me Joining Those Who Have Gone To Madina, Most Exalted
Chaman e Taiba Hai Wo Baagh Ke Murgh e Sidrah
Barsoñ Chehke Haiñ Jahaañ Bulbul e Shaida Ho Kar
The Garden Of Taiba, Is That Garden Where The Birds Of Sidrah, Elated
Chirp For Years There, Like Nightingales In Love, Fascinated
Sar-Sar e Dasht e Madina Ka Magar Aaya Khayaal
Rashk e Gulshan Jo Bana Ghuncha e Dil Waa Ho Kar
Over The Gusts Of Wind In The Gardens Of Madina, When I Deliberated
The Envy Of The Garden It Became, As The Buds Of My Heart Blossomed
101
Gosh e Shah Kehte Haiñ Faryaad Rasi Ko Ham Me
Wa’da e Chashm Hai Bakhsha-enge Goya Ho Kar
We Will Listen & Come To Your Aid, The Sacred Ears Of The Master Asserted
Speaking On Our Behalf, His Eyes Have Promised To Have Us Exonerated
Paaye Shah Par Giray Ya Rab’b Tapish e Mahr Se Jab
Dil e Betaab Uray Hashr Me Paara Ho Kar
Due To The Fiery Sun, O Rab’b! When At The Feet Of The Master I Have Dropped
My Restless Heart On The Day Of Reckoning, Will Fly Disconcerted
Hai Ye Ummeed RAZA Ko Teri Rahmat Se Shaha
Na Ho Zandaani e Dozakh Tera Banda Ho Kar
From You, O My Master! Raza Has This Hope, Which He Has Anticipated
As A Prisoner Of Hell, Your Servant Should Not Be Convicted

Naar e Dozakh Ko Chaman Kar De Bahaar e Aariz

Naar e Dozakh Ko Chaman Kar De Bahaar e Aariz
Zulmat e Hashr Ko Din Kar De Nahaar e Aariz
The Fire Of Hell Will Turn Into A Garden, By The Beauty Of His Cheeks
The Darkness Of Night Will Turn Into Day, By The Dawn Of His Cheeks
Me To Kya Cheez Huñ Khud Saahib e Qur’añ Ko Shaha
Laakh Mushaf Se Pasand Aayi Bahaar e Aariz
O My Master, What Am I? When The One Who Revealed The Qur’an Himself
Loves More Than A Hundred Thousand Scriptures, The Splendour Of His Cheeks
Jaise Qur’an Hai Wird Is Gul e Mahboobi Ka
Yuñhi Qur’añ Ka Wazifa Hai Waqaar e Aariz
Just As The Qur’an Is Continuously Recited By The Flower Of Belovedness
Similarly, The Litany Of The Qur’an Is The Nobility Of His Cheeks
Gar Che Qur’añ Hai Na Qur’añ Ki Baraabar Lekin
Kuch To Hai Jis Pe Hai Wo Madh e Nigaar e Aariz
Neither Is It The Qur’an, Nor Is It Equal To The Qur’an In Any Way
There Is Indeed Some Uniqueness, For Him To Praise The Beauty Of His Cheeks
Toor Kya Arsh Jalay Dekh Ke Wo Jalwa e Garam
Aap Aariz Ho Magar Aa-ina Daar e Aariz
Let Alone Mount Toor, Even The Arsh Will Flare On Seeing The Intense Rays
It Will Itself Request, That It May Be The Reflection Of His Cheeks
Turfa Aalam He Wo Qur’an Idhar Dekheñ Udhar
Mushaf e Paak Ho Hayraan Bahaar e Aariz
An Amazing Sight It Is, When Looking At The Qur’an Here, There He Is Seen
The Sacred Scripture Is Even Amazed, By The Beauty Of His Cheeks
103
Tarjama Hai Ye Sifat Ka Wo Khud Aai-na e Zaat
Kyuñ Na Mushaf Se Zyaada Ho Waqaar e Aariz
It Is The Depiction Of The Attribute, He Is The Manifestation Of The Divine Being
More Admired Than The Sacred Scripture, Why Shouldn’t Be His Cheeks
Jalwa Farma-eñ Rukh e Dil Ki Siyaahi Mit’t Jaaye
Subh Ho Jaaye Ilaahi Shab e Taar e Aariz
If I Get A Ray Of His Manifestation, The Darkness Of My Heart’s Face Will Vanish
O Rab’b! Light Will Appear & The Darkness Of My Grave Will Fade, By His Cheeks
Naam e Haq Par Kare Mahboob Dil o Jaañ Qurbaañ
Haq Kare Arsh Se Taa Farsh Nisaar e Aariz
The Beloved Sacrificed His Heart & Soul Upon The Name Of The Almighty
Allah Offered All From The Arsh Upto The Earth, Upon His Cheeks
Mushkbu Zulf Se Rukh Chehra Se Baaloñ Me Shu’aa’
Muj’iza He Halab e Zulf o Tataar e Aariz
From His Hair, His Face Is Musk Scented & Through His Face, His Hair Is Glowing
Miraculous Is His Shining Black Hair, And Radiantly Rosy Are His Cheeks
Haq Ne Bakhsha Hai Karam Nazr e Gadayaañ Ho Qubool
Pyaare Ek Dil He Wo Karte Hai Nisaar e Aariz
Allah Has Given Him Generosity, May He Accept This Offering From His Servants
All We Have Is One Heart, Which Is Sacrificed Upon His Cheeks
Aah Be Maa-egi Dil Ke RAZA e Mohtaaj
Le Kar Ek Jaan Chala Behr Nisaar e Aariz
Aah! Such Is The Immense Deficiency Of Destitute Raza’s Heart
He Has Only Come With A Single Life, To Sacrifice Upon His Cheeks

So That The Light Sleep Of The Residents Of Baqi, Is Undisturbed By The Sky
So Gently He Walked, That No Sound Was Emitted From The Feet Of The Sky
Ye Un Ke Jalwe Ne Keeñ Garmiyaañ Shab e Asra
Ke Jab Se Charkh Me Haiñ Naqra o Talaa e Falak
It Was His Rays, On The Night Of Ascension, Which Lit Up The Sky
That Ever Since, Rotating, Are The Silver Moon & Golden Sun Of The Sky
Mere Ghani Ne Jawaahir Se Bhar Diya Daaman
Gaya Jo Kaasa e Mah Le Ke Shab Gada e Falak
With Glowing Precious Gems, My Generous Master, Awarded The Sky
When As A Mendicant, Holding Its Moon Bowl, Came To Him, The Night Sky
Raha Jo Qaane’ Yak Naan e Sokhta Din Bhar
Mili Huzoor Se Kaan e Gohar Jazaa e Falak
When Like A Burnt Piece Of Bread, Day Long, Content Remained The Sky
As A Reward, A Mine Of Glowing Pearls, My Beloved Nabi Awarded The Sky
Tajam’mul e Shab e Asra Abhi Simat’ Na Chuka
Ke Jub Se Waisi Hee Kotal He Sabz Haa e Falak
Still Unable To Gather All The Blessings Of The Night Of Asra, Was The Sky
But Ever Since, Still Preserved, Is The Unfading Brilliance Of The Sky
Khitaab e Haq Bhi Hai Dar Baab e Khalq ‘Min Ajlik’
Agar Idhar Se Dam e Hamd Hai Sadaa e Falak
To His Nabi, ‘I Created Everything For You’, Said The Creator Of The Sky
When With Every Breath, Allah’s Praise, Was Being Chanted By The Sky
106
Ye Ahl e Bayt Ki Chak’ki Se Chaal Seekhi Hai
Rawaañ Hai Be Madad e Dast Aasiya e Falak
The Hand-Mill Of The Ahle Bayt, Taught This Motion To The Sky
Hence, Without A Helping Hand, Rotating Is The Mill Of The Sky
RAZA Ye Na’at e Nabi Ne Bulandiyaañ Bakhsheeñ
Laqab Zameen e Falak Ka Huwa Samaa e Falak
O Raza! This Praise Of The Nabi Granted You Such Admiration, In The Sky
The Post Rhyme Word ‘Sky’ Became Known As The Grand Poem Of The Sky
107
Kya Theek Ho Rukh e Nabawi Par Misaal e Gul
Kya Theek Ho Rukh e Nabawi Par Misaal e Gul
Paamaal Jalwa e Kaf e Paa Hai Jamaal e Gul
When Describing The Nabi’s Face, Is It Befitting To Use The Example Of A Rose?
From The Specks Under The Radiant Soles Of His Feet, Is The Beauty Of The Rose
Jannat Hai Unke Jalwa Se Jooya e Rang o Boo
Ay Gul Hamaare Gul Se Hai Gul Ko Sawaal e Gul
Heaven Is Seeking Out The Shades And Fragrances Of His Bright Rays
O Rose! From Our Rose, The Fragrant Rose, Is Sought By The Rose
Un Ke Qadam Se Sil’a e Ghaali Huwi Jinaañ
Wal’laah Mere Gul Se Hai Jaah o Jalaal e Gul
Through His Sacred Feet, Heaven Became Even More Precious

O Allah! May This Glad-tiding Be A Reality, Blessed Be The Omen Of My Rose
Bulbul Haram Ko Chal Gham e Faani Se Faa’ida
Kab Tak Kahegi Haa-e Wo Ghuncha o Laal e Gul
O Nightingale! Let’s Go To Madina, There Is No Use Grieving Over The Perished
Until When Will You Lament, Over The Buds & The Redness Of The Rose?
Ghamgeen Hai Shawq e Ghaazah e Khaak e Madina Me
Shabnam Se Dhul Sakegi Na Gard e Malaal e Gul
They Are Grieving, Wishing That They Were Budding, In The Dust Of Madina
Even The Dew Drops Will Not Wash Away, This Dust Of Grief From The Rose
108
Bulbul Ye Kya Kaha, Maiñ Kahaañ Fasl e Gul Kahaañ?

O Allah! May The Spot Of My Grief In His Love, Remain Lush & Evergreen
May Every Month Be Springtime, May Every Year, Be The Year Of The Rose
Rang e Mizh’ah Se Kar Ke Khajil Yaad e Shah Me
Kheencha Hai Ham Ne Kaantoñ Pe Itr e Jamaal e Gul
With The Shades Of My Eyelashes, Bashfully In The Love Of My King
Over The Thorns I Have Spread Out, The Fragrance Of The Beauty Of The Rose

Har Ashk e Laala e Faam Pe Ho Ehtimaal e Gul
As I Weep In The Love Of My King, All The Nightingales Congregate
While Looking At Every Ruby Red Tear Drop, They Assume It Is A Red Rose
Haiñ Aks e Chehra Se Lab e Gulgoñ Me Surkhiyaañ
Dooba Hai Badr e Gul Se Shafaq Me Hilaal e Gul
From The Reflection Of His Face, There Is A Red Glow On The Lips Of The Roses
Setting On The Horizon Of My Rose’s Full Moon, Is The Crescent Of The Rose
109
Na’at e Huzoor Me Mutaran’nim Hai Andaleeb,
Shaakhoñ Ke Jhoomne Se ‘Ayaañ Wajd o Haal e Gul

O Nightingale! Year Round, For The Rose Of Madina, Is The Spring Bloom
The Springtime Elsewhere Is Seasonal, Ending With The Withering Of The Rose
Shaykhain Idhar Nisaar, Ghani o Ali Udhar
Ghuncha Hai Bulbuloñ Ka Yameen o Shimaal e Gul
Sacrificed On This Side, Are Siddique & Umar & On That Side Are Uthman & Ali
These Nightingales Are Blooming Together, On The Right & Left Of My Rose
Chaahe Khuda To Paa-enge Ishq e Nabi Me Khuld
Nikli Hai Naama e Dil e Pur Khooñ Me Faal e Gul
Allah Willing, We Will Attain Paradise, Through The Love Of Our Nabi

Kar Us Ki Yaad Jis Se Milay Chain, Andaleeb
Dekha Nahiñ Ke Khaar e Alam Hai Khayaal e Gul
O Nightingale! Remember Him, Through Whom You Will Attain Tranquility
Have You Not Observed The Thorns Of Grief, While Remembering The Rose?
Dekha Tha Khwaab e Khaar e Haram Andaleeb Ne
Khat’ka Kiya Hai Aankh Me Shab Bhar Khayaal e Gul
After The Nightingale Had Dreamt, Of The Thorns Of The Holy Haram
The Entire Night Its Eyes Remained Restless, While Thinking Of The Rose
Un Do Ka Sadqa Jin Ko Kaha Mere Phool Haiñ
Kijiye RAZA Ko Hashr Me Khanda Misaal e Gul

On The Day Of Reckoning, Let Raza Bloom, Blissfully Like A Rose

Poochte Kya Ho Arsh Par
Yuñ Gaye Mustafa Ke Yuñ
Poochte Kya Ho Arsh Par Yuñ Gaye Mustafa Ke Yuñ
Kaif Ke Par Jahaañ Jalay Ko-ee Bataaye Kya Ke Yuñ
Why Do You Ask, If To The Arsh, Mustafa Went In This Way or In That Way

Qasr e Dana Ke Raaz Me Aqlaiñ To Gum Hai Jaisi Hai
Rooh e Quds Se Poochiye Tum Ne Bhi Kuch Suna Ke Yuñ
In The Secrets Of The Grand Station Of Nearness, Intellect Is Lost In This Way
Anyway, Let’s Ask Jibreel, Did You Hear Anything About, In Which Way?
Maiñ Ne Kaha Ke Jalwa e Asl Me Kis Tarah Mageeñ

Maana Hai Sun Ke Shaq e Maah Aankhoñ Se Ab Dikha, Ke Yuñ
Give My Heart The Glow & Spot Of Love, Then Split In Two, O My Master I Pray
On Hearing I Accepted The Moon Had Split, Now, Let My Eyes See In Which Way

Dil Ko Hai Fikr Kis Tarah Murde Jilaate Haiñ Huzoor
Ay Maiñ Fida Laga Kar Ek Thokar Usay Bata Ke Yuñ
My Master! About How You Raised The Dead, My Heart Is Wondering Today
Sacrificed I Am! Strike It With Your Heel & Say To It; It Was In This Way
Baagh Me Shukr e Wasl Tha Hijr Me Haai, Haai, Gul
Kaam Hai Un Ke Zikr Se Khayr Wo Yuñ Huwa Ke Yuñ
In The Garden It Showed Gratitude, When Away From The Rose It Was In Dismay
The Purpose Is His Blessed Remembrance, Be It In That Way, or In This Way
Jo Kahe She’r o Paas Shar’a Dono Ka Husn Kyuñ Kar Aaye
Laa Usay Pesh e Jalwa e Zam-Zama e RAZA, Ke Yuñ

Mannat e Ghair Kyuñ Ut’haa-eñ Ko-ee Taras Jataaye Kyuñ
Either We Will Die While Suffering Restlessly In This Way,

Why Would It Erase The Spot In Its Heart,
When It Is Truly In Love With This Abrasion?
Khush Rahe Gul Se Andaleeb Khaar e Haram Mujhe Naseeb
Meri Balaa Bhi Zikr Par Phool Ke Khaar Khaaye Kyuñ
Let The Nightingale Remain Satisfied With The Rose,

Why Should I Feel Any Jealousy or Intimidation?
Gard e Malaal Agar Dhulay Dil Ki Kali Agar Khilay
Barq Se Aankh Kyuñ Jalay Rone Pe Muskuraaye Kyuñ

Why Should It Be Laid Under His Sacred Feet’s Position?
Sang e Dar e Huzoor Se Ham Ko Khuda Na Sabr De
Jaana Hai Sar Ko Jaa Chukay Dil Ko Qaraar Aaye Kyuñ
We Are Yearning To See The Doorpost Of His Sacred Court,

What Is My One Heart? How Seriously Is It Really Blemished,
For While Casually Strolling, You Brought Back To Life, Those Who Perished
Unke Nisaar Ko-ee Kaise Hee Ranj Me Ho
Jab Yaad Aa Gaye Haiñ, Sab Gham Bhula Diye Haiñ
If One Loves Him Truly, No Matter How Afflicted He Is, Or Anguished,
In His Sincere Thoughts , All Your Heartaches Are Perished

Ab To Ghani Ke Dar Par, Bistar Jama Diye Haiñ
Even Beggars Like Myself, Are Rising, To Beg In Your Court & Be Nourished,
Now At The Court Of Our Generous King, Our Beds We Have Firmly Established
Asra Me Guzre Jis Dam Ber’ay Pe Qudsiyoñ Ke
Hone Lagi Salaami, Parcham Jhuka Diye Haiñ
On The Eve Of Ascension, When Over The Assembly Of Angels He Dashed,
While Lowering Their Flag Wings, To Convey Salaam Upon Him, They Rushed

Raah e Irfaan Se Jo Ham Na Deedah Ru Mahram Nahiñ
Mustafa Hai Masnad e Irshaad Par Kuch Gham Nahiñ
To The Sacred Path Of Spiritual Insight,
If We Are Not So Closely Acquainted,
Grieve Not, For On The Grand Seat Of Spiritual Guidance,
Mustafa, ‘The Most Chosen One’, Is Honourably Seated
Huñ Musalmaañ Gar Che Naaqis Hee Sahi Ay Kaamilo
Maahiyat Paani Ki Aakhir Yam Se Nam Me Kam Nahiñ
O Spiritually Elite! A Muslim I Am Indeed,
Even Though Like You, I May Not Be Entirely Perfected,
Ultimately, The Real Essence Of Water In Moisture,
Is Not Any Less Than That, Of Which The Ocean Is Constituted
Ghunche ‘Maa Awha’ Ke Jo Chat’ke ‘Dana’ Ke Baagh Me
Bulbul e Sidrah Tak Unki Bu Se Bhi Mahram Nahiñ
When Those Buds Of ‘What He Revealed’,
In The Garden Of ‘Nearness’, Sprouted,
Even The Grand Nightingale Of Sidrah,
Was Not Privy To This Fragrance, Which Emanated
Us Me Zam-Zam Hai Ke Tham-Tham Is Me Jam-Jam Hai Ke Besh
Kasrat e Kawsar Me Zam-Zam Ki Tarah Kam-Kam Nahiñ
In That, Is ‘Stop, Stop! Or ‘Pause, Pause’,
In This, Is An Abundance, Which Is Unrestricted
The Abundance Of The River Kawthar,
Unlike Zam-Zam, It Is Entirely Unrestricted
152
Panjah e Mahr e Arab Hai Jis Se Darya Bah Gaye
Chashma e Khursheed Me To Naam Ko Bhi Nam Nahiñ
From The Five Sacred Fingers Of The Arabian Sun,
Rivers Gushed Forth, As They Spurted
In The Eyes Of The Sun, The Slightest Hint,
Of Moisture Cannot Even Be Spotted
Aisa Ummi Kis Liye Minnat Kash e Ustaad Ho
Kya Kifaayat Is Ko ‘Iqra Rab’bukal Akram’ Nahiñ
Why Will He Who Was Never Taught By The Creation,
To A Mortal Teacher Be Obligated
For Him, Will, ‘Read! Your Rab’b Is The Most Generous’
Not Suffice? Remaining Unlimited
Aws Mahr e Hashr Par, Par’ Jaaye Pyaaso To Sahi
Us Gul e Khandaañ Ka Rona Girya e Shabnam Nahiñ
If Dew Drops Fall, On The Sun Of Reckoning,
O Thirsty Ones, They Will Be Evaporated
The Weeping Of That Blossoming Rose,
Is Unlike The Dew’s Tears, Evaporated
Hai Unheeñ Ke Dam Qadam Ki Baagh e Aalam Me Bahaar
Wo Na Thay Aalam Na Tha, Gar Wo Na Hoñ Aalam Nahiñ
It Is Through His Blessed Existence That,
The Garden Of The World Remains Invigorated,
When He Was Not, The Universe Was Inexistent,
If He Is Not, The Universe Would Not Have Existed
153
Saaya e Deewaar o Khaak e Dar Ho Rab’b, Awr RAZA

O My Rab’b! Alone In The Shade Of His Sacred Wall,
On The Dust Of His Sacred Court, May Raza Be Seated
Neither Does He Desire The Worldly Crown Of Caesar,
Nor Does He Desire Jamshed’s Throne, Ornamented

Wo Kamaal e Husn e Huzoor Hai Ke Gumaan e Naqs Jahaañ Nahiñ

Wo Kamaal e Husn e Huzoor Hai Ke Gumaan e Naqs Jahaañ Nahiñ
Yahi Phool Khaar Se Door Hai Yahi Sham’a Hai Ki Dhuwa Nahiñ
So Perfectly Splendid Is My Beloved Nabi’s Beauty,
Without Room For Any Faults, He Is Undoubtedly Flawless,
It Is Only This Flower, Which Is Completely Thorn-less,
It Is Only This Flame, Which Is Completely Smokeless
Do Jahaañ Ki Behtariyaañ Nahiñ Ke Amani e Dil o Jaañ Nahiñ
Kaho Kya Hai Wo Jo Yahaañ Nahiñ Magar Ek ‘Nahiñ’ Ke Wo Haañ Nahiñ
Is The Best Of Both Worlds Not Found Here,
Or Are The Desires Of The Heart And Soul, Fruitless
Tell Me What Is That, Which Cannot Be Found Here,
Only The Word ‘No’ Is Not Here; Here It Is Meaningless
Maiñ Nisaar Tere Kalaam Par Mili Yuñ To Kis Ko Zabaañ Nahiñ
Wo Sukhan He Jis Me Sukhan Na Ho Wo Bayaañ Hai Jiska Bayaañ Nahiñ
Upon Your Eloquent Speech, May I Be Sacrificed,
Otherwise None Is Completely, Tongue-less
Your Speech Is Such, That It Cannot Be Questioned,
Your Expressions Leave All, Completely Expressionless
Ba-Khuda, Khuda Ka Yahi Hai Dar Nahiñ Awr Ko-ee Mafar Maqar
Jo Wahaañ Se Ho Yahiñ Aa Ke Ho Jo Yahaañ Nahiñ To Wahaañ Nahiñ
By Allah! It Is This Alone Which Is The Gate To Almighty Allah,
There Is No Other Destination, For The Homeless
Whoever Is Connected There, Is Humbly Present Here,
Whoever Is Disconnected From Here, There, He Is Totally Aimless
155
Kare Mustafa Ki Ihaanateñ Khule Bandoñ Us Pe Ye Jur’ateñ

Tere Aage Yuñ Haiñ Dabay Lache Fusaha Arab Ke Baray, Baray
Ko-ee Jaane Munh Me Zubaañ Nahiñ, Nahiñ Balke Jism Me Jaañ Nahiñ
Before You, The Most Eloquent & Fluent Of Arabia,

They All Seem To Have No Tongues In Their Mouths,
In Fact, It Is More Like, Their Bodies Are Soul-less
Wo Sharaf Ke Qat’a Haiñ Nisbateñ Wo Karam Ke Sab Se Qareeb Haiñ
Ko-ee Keh Do Yaas o Ummeed Se Wo Kaheeñ Nahiñ Wo Kahaañ Nahiñ
Your Eminence Is Such, That All Paths To It Are Detached,
Yet Your Generosity Is So Near, That None Is Left Directionless
Say To Those Who Lose Hope; For You He Is Nowhere,
To The Hopeful Say, For You, He Is Everywhere, Regardless
Ye Nahiñ Ke Khuld Na Ho Niko Wo Niko-ee Ki Bhi Hai Aabru
Magar Ay Madina Ki Aarzu Jisay Chaahe To Wo Samaañ Nahiñ
There Is No Doubt That Holy Paradise Is Very Beautiful & Fascinating,
It Is Indeed The Honour Of All Things Fascinating & Spotless
But, Such Is The Yearning Of The One Who Is Attracted To Madina,
O Paradise! In His Eyes, More Than Madina Nothing Else Is So Priceless
156
Hai Unheeñ Ke Noor Se Sab ‘Ayaan Hai Unheeñ Ke Jalwa Me Sab Nihaañ
Banay Subh Taabish e Mahr Se Rahe Pesh e Mahr Ye Jaañ Nahiñ
It Is Through His Noor That Everything Is Visibly Glowing,
And Within His Radiant Light Everything Is Hidden & Rayless
The Radiance Of Dawn Is Indeed From The Sun’s Rays,
But Before The Most Radiant Sun, Even The Sun Is Rayless
Wahi Noor e Haq Wahi Zil’le Rab’b Hai Unheeñ Se Sab Hai Unheeñ Ka Sab
Nahiñ Unki Milk Me Aasmaañ Ke Zameeñ Nahiñ Ke Zamaañ Nahiñ
He Is The Light Of The Almighty & Allah’s Radiant Manifestation,
Everything Is From Him, To Him Belongs Everything, Regardless
Is The Sky Not Regarded As His Property As Well,
Are The Earth And Time, Not His Belongings, Priceless?
Wahi La Makaañ Ke Makeeñ Huwe Sar e Arsh Takht Nasheen Huwe
Wo Nabi Hai Jiske Haiñ Ye Makaañ Wo Khuda Hai Jiska Makaañ Nahiñ
It Is He Who Journeyed Beyond Space & Time,
On The Arsh Of Allah He Sat, Completely Peerless
He Is That Nabi Who Was Granted This Exalted Place,
Allah Is He, Who Is Free From Place, Divinely Dimensionless
Sare Arsh Par Hai Teri Guzar Dil e Farsh Par Hai Teri Nazar
Malakoot o Mulk Me Ko-ee Shay Nahiñ Wo Jo Tujh Pe Ayaañ Nahiñ
Beyond The Exalted Arsh You Journey Majestically,
Yet In The Heart Of The Earth, Your Observations Are Flawless
In The Realm Of The Angels And In The Entire Physical Kingdom
From You Nothing Is Hidden, For Your Vision Is Boundless
157

Upon Your Blessed Name, May I Sincerely Sacrifice My Life,
Not Just One Life, But May I Sacrifice Both Worlds, Effortless
Even After Sacrificing Both Worlds, My Heart Is Not Contented,
I Do Not Have Millions Of Worlds, In This Regard I Am Helpless
Tera Qad To Naadir e Dahr Hai Ko-ee Misl Ho To Misaal De
Nahiñ Gul Ke Pawdoñ Me Daaliyañ Ke Chaman Me Sarw e Chama Nahiñ
Your Exalted Stature Is Such A Unique Gift To The World,
No Example Exists Which Can Be Given, For You Are Peerless
Not Even The Stems In The Rose Plants Are So Straight,
Nor In The Gardens Is There Any Cypress, So Tall & Matchless
Nahiñ Jis Ke Rang Ka Dusra Na To Ho Ko-ee Na Kabhi Huwa
Kaho Us Ko Gul Kahe Kya Ko-ee Ke Guloñ Ke Dheyr Kahaañ Nahiñ
In His Radiant Shade, There Is Indeed None Other Like Him
None Can Be Like Him, Nor Will Anyone Ever Be, He Is So Peerless
Should We Refer To Him As A Rose, Or What Should Anyone Say,
For Roses Are Abundant, But Amongst All, He Is The Most Peerless
Karuñ Madh e Ahl e Duwal RAZA Paray Is Bala Me Meri Bala
Maiñ Gada Huñ Apne Kareem Ka Mera Deen Paara e Naañ Nahiñ
Should Raza Praise Those In Positions Of Power?
Into This Catastrophe May I Never Fall, For It Is Useless,
A Loyal Slave I Am Of My Most Generous Master,
Like A Piece Of Bread, My Deen Is Not Worthless

Neither This Is Befitting, Nor Is That Befitting
Haq Ye Ke Hai ‘Abd e Ilaah Awr ‘Aalam e Imkaañ Ke Shaah
Barzakh Haiñ Wo Sir’r e Khuda, Ye Bhi Nahiñ Wo Bhi Nahiñ
The Reality Is That He Is Allah’s Most Chosen Slave,
And Of The Realm Of The Creation, He Is The King
He Is The Median, He Is Allah’s Special Secret,
Neither This Are We Seeing, Nor That Are We Seeing
159
Bulbul Ne Gul Unko Kaha, Qumri Ne Sarw e Jaañ Faza

Neither This I Am Being, Nor That I Am Being
Khursheed Tha Kis Zor Par Kya Bar’h Ke Chamka Tha Qamar
Be Parda Jab Wo Rukh Huwa Ye Bhi Nahiñ Wo Bhi Nahiñ
The Blazing Sun Was Shining With All Its Might,
More Than Ever Before The Radiant Moon Was Glowing
When The Veils Were Raised From His Glowing Face,
Neither Was This Really Shining, Nor Was That Really Shining
Dar Tha Ke Isyaañ Ki Saza Ab Hogi Ya Roz e Jaza
Dee Unki Rahmat Ne Sada Ye Bhi Nahiñ Wo Bhi Nahiñ
I Was Afraid As To Whether For All My Sins,
I Will Be Punished Here, Or On The Day Of Reckoning
His Grand Mercy Then Addressed Me, Clearly Declaring
Neither Will This Be Happening, Nor Will That Be Happening
Ko-ee Hai Naazañ Zuhd Par Ya Husn e Tauba Hai Sipar
Yaañ Hai Faqat Teri ‘Ataa Ye Bhi Nahiñ Wo Bhi Nahiñ
While Some Are Very Proud Over Their Piety And Virtue,
Upon Their Shield Of Sincere Repentance, Others Are Relying
Here, We Are Only Depending On Your Merciful Favours,
Neither This Are We Having, Nor That Are We Having
160
Din Lahw Me Khona Tujhe, Shab Subh Tak Sona Tujhe

O Allah! From Him, Never Allow My Heart To Be Separated,
O Allah! By My Weakness, May I Never Be Cheated
Is Me Rauze Ka Sajdah Ho Ki Tawaaf,

Someone Should Ask About My Grief, To My Ambitious & Yearning Heart

Khaak Us Ko Ut’haa-e Hashr Jo Tere Giray Dil Se
The Entire World Cannot Drop Him, Upon Whom You Placed Your Sight Directly,
Even Reckoning Cannot Raise Him, Who Has Fallen From Your Heart
Behka He Kahaañ Majnu Le Daali Banoñ Ki Khaak
Dam Bhar Na Kiya Kheymah Laila Ne Paray Dil Se
O Love Sick Majnu; Why Have You Strayed, Sifting The Desert Dust Anxiously
When For A Moment Your Beloved Laila, Did Not Distance You From Her Heart
Sonay Ko Tapaa-eñ Jab Kuch Meel Ho Ya Kuch Meyl

No Matter What The Enemies Try, Flowing Is Your Ocean Of Mercy,
So How Will Us Sinners Ever Fall, O Compassionate Master, From Your Heart?
Kya Jaaneñ Yam e Gham Me Dil Doob Gaya Kaisa
Kis Teh Ko Gaye Armaañ Ab Tak Na Tere Dil Se
Into The Ocean Of Sorrows, None Knows How The Heart Has Sunk Completely,
No Matter Into Which Chamber The Hopes Went, You Still Kept Us In Your Heart
Karta Tu Hai Yaad Un Ki Ghaflat Ko Zara Rokay

You Always Do Remember Him, But Abstain From Being Oblivious Occasionally,
For Allah’s Sake O Raza! Remember Him With Your Heart; Truly From Your Heart

Allah, Allah Ke Nabi Se

Allah, Allah Ke Nabi Se

From Almighty Allah & From Allah’s Beloved Nabi,
Against The Evils Of My Inner Desires, I Seek A Remedy
Din Bhar Kheloñ Me Khaak Uraa-ee

You Spent The Entire Day In Entertainment Wastefully,
Even Though The Dust Particles Ridiculed You, You Had No Modesty
Shab Bhar Sonay Hee Se Gharaz Thee
Taaroñ Ne Hazaar Daant Peesay
You Only Cared About Sleeping The Entire Night Lazily,
Even Though The Stars Looked Down On You, Furiously
Imaan Pe Maut Behtar Aw Nafs
Teri Naa-Paak Zindagi Se
O Evil Inner Self! Indeed To Die With Imaan Faithfully,
Is Far Better Than Living Your Way Of Life, Sinfully
Aw Shahad Numa e Zehar Dar Jaam
Gum Jaa-uñ Kidhar Teri Badi Se
Oh! How You Present Poison To Me As A Sweet Drink Of Honey
I Wish I Had Vanished Into Thin Air, Being Saved From Your Mutiny
Gahre Pyaare Puraane Dil Soz
Guzra Maiñ Teri Dosti Se
You Portray A Deep, Loving Nature, But You Burn My Heart With Anxiety,
I Have Already Experienced Your So-Called Friendship & Company
206
Tujh Se Jo Ut’haa-e Maine Sadme
Aise Na Mile Kabhi Kisi Se
Due To You I Have Faced Immense Grief And Anxiety,
More Than Me, You Have Not Caused Anyone Else Such Anxiety
Uff Re Khud-Kaam Be Murawwat
Par’ta Hai Kaam Aadami Se
You Are So Selfish And Inconsiderate, It Is Such A Pity!
Whereas The Real Need Is From A Reliable Personality
Tu Ne Hee Kiya Khuda Se Naadim
Tu Ne Hee Kiya Khajil Nabi Se
It Is You Who Caused Us To Become Ashamed Before Allah Almighty
It Is You Who Caused Us To Be Embarrassed Before The Beloved Nabi
Kaise Aaqa Ka Hukm T’aala
Ham Mar Mitay Teri Khud-Sari Se
Such A Great King’s Commands We Disregarded Totally,
While We Are Ruined Trying To Satisfy Your Obstinacy
Aati Na Thee Jab Badi Bhi Tujh Ko
Ham Jaante Haiñ Tujhe Jabhi Se
Even Before You Could Encourage This Obstinacy,
Your Mischievous Ways We Recognised Already
Had Ke Laazim Sitam Ke Kat’tar
Pat’thar Sharma-e Tere Jee Se
O Tyrant! You Have Reached Such Ruthless Levels Of Tyranny,
That Even Rocks Are Ashamed Before Your Hard Hearted Obscurity
207
Ham Khaak Me Mil Chuke Haiñ Kab Ke
Nikla Na Ghubaar Tere Jee Se
We Have Been Humiliated For Such A Long Time Already,
But Still From Your Heart, You Cleaned Not, The Grime And Impurity
Hai Zaalim! Maiñ Nibahuñ Tujh Se
Allah Bacha-e Us Ghari Se
O Tyrant, You Want Me To Live Your Way Of Obscurity!
From Such A Phase May I Be Saved By Allah Almighty
Jo Tum Ko Na Jaanta Ho, Hazrat!
Chaaleñ Chaliye Us Ajnabi Se
To The One Who Knows You Not, Mr Shady
Try To Deceive Such A Stranger, With Your Trickery
Allah Ke Saamne Wo Gun Thay
Yaaroñ Me Kaise Mut’taqi Se
All Your Evil Actions Are Before Allah Almighty,
But In Front Of Friends, You Masqueraded Your Piety
Rahzan Ne Loot Li Kama-ee
Faryaad Hai Khizr e Haashmi Se
This Bandit Has Looted All My Hard Earned Virtues Completely,
I Am Seeking Your Aid, O My Saviour, O Grandest Haashmi!
Allah! Kooweñ Me Khud Gira Huñ
Apni Naalish Karuñ Tujhi Se
I Have Myself Fallen Into The Well Of Sins, O Allah Almighty
Now Only Before You Can I Beg For Pardon And Leniency
Haiñ Pusht Panaah Ghaus e Aazam
Kyuñ Darte Ho Tum RAZA Kisi Se
Your Benefactor & Champion Is Ghaus e Aazam Jilaani,
O Raza! Why Then, Are You Afraid Of Anybody?

In Worldly Entertainment, We Squandered Everything
Ay ‘Ishq Tere Sadqe Jalne Se Ch’hutay Saste
Jo Aag Bujha Degi Wo Aag Laga-ee Hai
O True Love, It Is Through Your Special Blessing,
That We Were Inexpensively Freed From Burning
That Flame Which Will Extinguish Everything,
Is That Flame Which We Have Been Kindling
Hirs o Hawas e Bad Se Dil Tu Bhi Sitam Kar Le
Tu Hee Nahiñ Begaana Dunya Hee Para-ee Hai
With Your Evil Greed And Envious Scheming,
O My Heart! You Too Can Start Your Attacking
Like A Stranger, You Are Not The Only One Acting,
As Strangers The Entire World, Is Now Behaving
269
Ham Dil Jalay Haiñ Kis Ke Hat’t Fitnoñ Ke Parkaale
Kyuñ Phoonk Dooñ Ek Uff Se Kya Aag Laga-ee Hai
Do You Know In Whose Love, Our Hearts Are Burning,
So Be Gone! O Sparks Of Strife & Sedition, Sparking
With A Single Blow, Should We Extinguish Your Burning,
This Is The Kind Of Flame, Which We Have Been Kindling
Taiba Na Sahi Afzal Makkah Hee Bara Zaahid
Ham ‘Ishq Ke Bande Haiñ Kyuñ Baat Barha-ee Hai
Madina Is Indeed, More Eminent & Most Rewarding,
But Makkah Is Also Devout And Full Of Blessing
As Humble Slaves Of True Love, We Are Saying
In This Discussion, Why Should We Be Delving
Matla’ Me Ye Shak Kya Tha Wal’laah RAZA Wal’laah
Sirf Un Ki Rasa-ee Hai, Sirf Un Ki Rasa-ee Hai
In The Opening Couplet, What Were You Doubting,
By Allah! O Raza! An Oath By Allah, I Am Proclaiming!
Indeed! It Is Only Him Who Will Be Reaching,
Indeed! It Is Only Him Who Will Be Reaching

In The Pleasantly Sweet Morning Breeze, Tranquil The Heart Is Feeling,
The Buds Of The Heart Are Blooming, Wherefrom Has This Breeze Been Coming?
Khubti Huwi Nazar Me Ada Kis Sahar Ki Hai
Chubhti Huwi Jigar Me Sada Kis Gajar Ki Hai
From Which Break Of Dawn, Is This Vision Piercing Elegance, Coming?
From Which Alarm Clock, Is This Heart Piercing Sound Emanating?
Daaleñ Hari-Hari Hai To Baaleñ Bhari-Bhari,
Kisht e Amal Pari Hai Ye Baarish Kidhar Ki Hai
The Branches Are Lush & Green, Its Corn Spikes Are Fully Blooming,
The Meadows Of Our Deeds Are Spread Out, Wherefrom Is This Rain Coming?
Ham Jaa-eñ Awr Qadam Se Lipat’ Kar Haram Kahe
Sawñpa Khuda Ko Tujh Ko, Ye Azmat Kis Safar Ki Hai
As We Were About To Depart, The Holy Haram Embraced Our Feet Saying,
In Allah’s Care I Have Given You, Such An Exalted Journey You Are Undertaking
Ham Gird e Kaa’ba Phirte Thay Kal Tak, Awr Aaj Wo
Ham Par Nisaar Hai Ye Iraadat Kidhar Ki Hai
Until Yesterday, Around The Kaa’ba We Were Going & Today What Is Happening
Upon Us The Kaa’ba Is Sacrificed, Due To The Great Journey We Are Intending
291
Kaalak Jabeeñ Ki Sajda e Dar Se Chura-oge
Mujh Ko Bhi Le Chalo Ye Taman’na Hajar Ki Hai
The Forehead’s Blackness Will Be Erased, While At His Court Prostrating
Please Take Me With You! The Hajr e Aswad Is Sincerely Requesting
Dooba Huwa Hai Shawq Me Zam-Zam Awr Aankh Se
Jhaale Baras Rahe Haiñ Ye Hasrat Kidhar Ki Hai
In Profound Love And Eagerness, The Water Of Zam-Zam Is Drowning
Showers Are Bursting From Its Eyes, To Go Where Is It Yearning?
Barsa Ke Jaane Waaloñ Pe Gohar Karuñ Nisaar
Abr e Karam Se Arz Ye Meezaab e Zar Ki Hai
Rain Over Me, So That I May Shower My Gems, On Those Who Are Going,
To The Grand Cloud Of Mercy, The Golden Meezab Channel, Is Requesting
Aaghosh e Shawq Khole Hai Jin Ke Liye Hateem
Wo Phir Ke Dekhte Nahiñ Ye Dhun Kidhar Ki Hai
For Those Whom The Holy Hateem, Its Lap It Is Extensively Opening
Yet They Do Not Even Turn To See, From Where This Ecstasy Is Originating
Haañ-Haañ Rah e Madina Hai Ghaafil Zara Tu Jaag
Aw Paa-oñ Rakhne Waale Ye Jaa Chashm o Sar Ki Hai
O Careless One, Be Alert! This Is The Path Of Madina Which You Are Travelling,
Instead Of Using Your Feet! Here On Your Eyes & Head You Should Be Walking
Waaruñ Qadam-Qadam Pe Ke Har Dam Hai Jaan e Naw
Ye Raah e Jaañ Faza Mere Maula Ke Dar Ki Hai
Upon Every Step May I Be Sacrificed, For A New Life Every Breath Is Bringing,
This Soul Refreshing Path, Leads To The Court Of My Most Beloved King
292
Ghar’iyaañ Gini Hai Barso Ke Ye Sub-ghar’i Phiri
Mar-mar Ke Phir Ye Sil Mere Seene Se Sarki Hai
After Counting Down For Years, Finally That Blessed Moment Is Approaching,
After Agonising For So Long, This Pillar Of Separation, From My Chest, Is Shifting
Allahu Akbar! Apne Qadam Awr Ye Khaak e Paak
Hasrat Mala’ika Ko Jahaañ Waz’ e Sar Ki Hai
Allahu Akbar! On This Sacred Dust, Our Feet We Are Placing,
Upon Which To Lower Their Heads, Even The Angels Are Yearning
Me’raj Ka Samaañ Hai Kahaañ Pahonche Zaairo!
Kursi Se Oonchi Kursi Usi Paak Ghar Ki Hai
Where Have We Reached O Pilgrims! The Atmosphere Of Me’raj I Am Sensing,
Greater Than The Base Of The Arsh, The Throne Of This Pure Court Is Reigning
Ush’shaaq e Rauza Sajde Me Soo e Haram Jhuke
Allah Jaanta Hai Ke Niyyat Kidhar Ki Hai
In The Direction Of The Kaa’ba, The Lovers Of The Raudha Are Prostrating,
Almighty Allah Only Knows, What Their Hearts Are Really Intending
Ye Ghar Ye Dar Hai Uska Jo Ghar Dar Se Paak Hai
Muzhdah Ho Be-Gharo, Ke Sala Ach’che Ghar Ki Hai
This Holy Court And Palace Is His, Yet Free From Space And Place He Is Being,
Glad-tidings To The Homeless, An Invite To The Grand Palace You Are Receiving
Mahboob e Rab’b e Arsh Hai Is Sabz Qub’ba Me
Pehlu Me Jalwagaah Ateeq o Umar Ki Hai
Beneath This Green Dome, The Beloved Of The Rab’b Of The Arsh, Is Resting
While In His Holy Shade, Hazrat Abu Bakr And Umar Are Peacefully Resting
293
Chaaye Mala’ika Haiñ, Lagaataar Hai Durood!
Badle Haiñ Pahre Badli Me Baarish Durar Ki Hai
An Umbrella Of Angels Are Converging, Continuously Durood They Are Reciting
As They Change Shifts, In This Interchanging, Pearls Of Mercy Are Descending
Sa’dain Ka Qiraan Hai Pehlu e Maah Me
Jhurmut’ Kiye Haiñ Taare, Tajal’li Qamar Ki Hai
Like Jupiter & Venus Drawing Near, Beside The Moon, Assembling
The Bright Stars Are Assembled, While The Moon Is Brightly Shining
Sat’tar Hazaar Subh Me Sat’tar Hazaar Shaam
Yuñ Bandagi e Zulf o Rukh Aa-thoñ Pehar Ki Hai
In The Morning Seventy Thousand, Seventy Thousand In The Evening,
To Admire His Sacred Hair & Face, Day And Night The Angels Are Descending
Jo Aik Baar Aaye Do-Baara Na Aa-enge
Rukhsat Hee Baargaah Se Bas Is Qadar Ki Hai
Those Who Come Once, For The Second Time, Will Not Be Coming
Permission From The Divine Court, Only This Much They Are Receiving
Tarpa Kareñ Badal Ke Phir Aana Kahaañ Naseeb
Be-Hukm Kab Majaal Parinde Ko Par Ki Hai
As They Change Shifts, They Yearn, For Never Again Will They Be Coming,
For Without Divine Permission, To Flap Their Wings, No Right They Are Having
Ay Waa-e Be-Kasi e Taman’na Ke Ab Ummeed
Din Ko Na Shaam Ki Hai Na Shab Ko Sahar Ki Hai
Aah! In Solitude Their Shattered Hopes, Are Reduced To Only Yearning,
The Day Ones Won’t Get The Evening, The Evening Ones Won’t Get The Morning
294
Ye Badliyaañ Na Ho To Karoroñ Ki Aas Jaaye
Awr Bargaah e Marhamat e Aam Tar Ki Hai
If These Shifts Did Not Exist, Billions Of Them Would Be Left Longing,
Whereas Universal Benevolence, This Sacred Court Is Dispensing
Ma’soomoñ Ko Hai ‘Umr Me Sirf Aik-Baar, Baar
Aasi Pare Raheñ To Sala Umr Bhar Ki Hai
These Sinless Ones Are Given The Opportunity Of Only Once Visiting,
Yet If We Sinners Wish To Remain There, A Lifelong Invite We Are Receiving
Zinda Raheñ To Haaziri e Baargaah Naseeb
Mar Jaa-eñ To Hayaat e Abad Aish Ghar Ki Hai
If We Remain Alive Here, His Sacred Court We Shall Always Be Visiting,
Death Here, Brings Eternal Life, For In His Heavenly Court, We Are Residing
Muflis Awr Aise Dar Se Phiray Be-Ghani Huwe
Chaandi Har Ek Tarah To Yahaañ Gadiya Gar Ki Hai
It Is Impossible That One Remains Needy, From Here After Departing,
For Every Sincere Mendicant Who Comes Here, Success Is Indeed Waiting
Jaanaañ Pe Takiya Khaak Nihaali Hai Dil Nihaal
Haañ Be-Nawa-o Khoob Ye Soorat Guzar Ki Hai
Resting By The Beloved, With A Pillow & Quilt Of Dust, Is The Best Bedding,
O Destitute Ones! What A Comfortable Life, Here You Are Living!
Haiñ Chatr o Takht Saaya e Deewaar o Khaak e Dar
Shaahoñ Ko Kab Naseeb Ye Dhaj Kar’r o Farr Ki Hai
His Wall’s Shade Is Our Royal Canopy, His Court’s Holy Dust, Our Throne Is Being,
Such Stature, Pomp And Splendour, Even Worldly Kings Are Not Receiving
295
Is Paak Koo Me Khaak Basar Sar Ba-Khaak Haiñ
Samjhe Haiñ Kuch Yahi Jo Haqeeqat Basar Ki Hai
In His Sacred Pathways, With His Head On The Dust, The Mendicant Is Resting,
It Is He Who Has Realised, This Is The Real Life, Which Is Worth Living
Kyuñ Taajedaaro! Khwaab Me Dekhi Kabhi Ye Shai
Jo Aaj Jholiyon Me Gadayaan e Dar Ki Hai
O Worldly Kings! Have You Ever Seen Such A Beautiful Thing,
Which Today The Mendicants Of His Court, In Their Sacks, Are Preserving
Jaaru-Kashoñ Me Chehre Likhe Haiñ Mulook Ke
Wo Bhi Kahaañ Naseeb Faqat Naam Bhar Ki Hai
Amongst Those Who Swept His Holy Court, If Registered Are Many A Great King,
It Was In Fact Only In Name, For This Honour They Could Not Be Retaining
Taiba Me Mar Ke Thande Chale Jaawo Aankheñ Band
Seedhi Sarak Ye Shahr e Shafa’at Nagar Ki Hai
With Closed Eyes, Death In Madina, Will Afford You A Tranquil & Noble Ending,
For Directly To The City Of Intercession, This Pure Corridor Is Leading
Aasi Bhi Haiñ Chaheete Ye Taiba Hai Zaahido!
Makkah Nahiñ Ke Jaanch Jahaañ Khayr o Shar Ki Hai
O Pilgrims! Here, Even Sinners Are Treated As Beloveds, Without Favouring,
This Is Not Makkah, Wherein Examined Is Every Good And Evil Doing
Shaan e Jamaal e Taiba e Jaanaañ Hai Nafa’ Mahz!
Wus’at Jalaal e Makkah Me Sood o Zarar Ki Hai
Absolutely Beneficial, The Splendour Of Madina’s Clemency Is Being,
In The Awe-Inspiring Grandeur Of Makkah, Benefit & Loss, We Are Seeing
296
Kaa’ba Hai Be-Shak Anjuman Aara Dulhan Magar
Saari Bahaar Dhulhanoñ Me Dulha Ke Ghar Ki Hai
The Kaa’ba Is Indeed Like The Elegant Bride, Seated In The Gathering,
But All The Brilliance In Brides, From The Home Of The Groom Are Originating
Kaa’ba Dulhan Hai Turbat e At’har Nayi Dulhan
Ye Rashk e Aaftaab Wo Ghayrat Qamar Ki Hai
The Kaa’ba Is Indeed A Bride, But The Sacred Raudha, Like New Bride Is Glowing,
The Kaa’ba Is The Envy Of The Sun & The Raudha, The Moon Is Timidly Admiring
Dono Baneeñ Sajeeli Aneeli Bani Magar
Joopi Ke Paas Hai Wo Suhaagan Kuñwar Ki Hai
Both Of Them Are Absolutely Beautiful And Uniquely Stunning,
But The One Attached To Her Beloved, As The Bride Of The Prince, Is Shining
Sar Sabz e Wasl Ye Hai Siyaah Posh e Hijr Wo
Chamki Dupat’toñ Se Hai Jo Haalat Jigar Ki Hai
One Is In Green Due To Its Meeting, The Other Is In Black, In Grief Of Separating
The Heart’s Condition Is Due To What These Bright Drapings Are Manifesting
Maa o Shuma To Kya Ke Khaleel e Jaleel Ko
Kal Dekhna Ke Un Se Taman’na Nazar Ki Hai
What Are You And I? Even The Exalted Khaleel Tomorrow You Will Be Seeing,
As He Waits In Anticipation, So That Towards Him The Beloved May Be Looking
Apna Sharaf Dua Se Hai Baaqi Raha Qubool
Ye Jaaneñ Un Ke Haath Me Kunji Asar Ki Hai
Our Dignity Is In Dua, As For The Acceptance Of What We Are Invoking,
Then This Depends On Him, For The Keys Of Acceptance He Is Holding
297
Jo Chaahe Un Se Maang Ke Donoñ Jahaañ Ki Khayr
Zar Na Khareedah Aik Kaneez Un Ke Ghar Ki Hai
Ask From Him What You Wish, Be It For The Hereafter, Or A Worldly Thing,
For Both Are Like A Complimentary Bondswomen, Who In His Home Is Serving
Roomi Ghulaam Din Habshi Baandiyaañ Shabeeñ
Ginti Kaneez Zaadoñ Me Shaam o Sahar Ki Hai
His Days Are Like Roman Slaves & Nights Like Abyssinian Bondswomen Serving,
Amongst The Offspring Of These Servants, Are The Evening And The Morning
Itna Ajab Bulandi e Jannat Pe Kis Liye
Dekha Nahiñ Ke Bheek Ye Kis Oonche Ghar Ki Hai
Why Are You So Amazed, How At Such A Height Heaven Is Being,
Have You Not Noticed From Which Exalted Court, Its Charity It Is Attaining
‘Arsh e Bareeñ Pe Kyuñ Na Ho Firdaus Ka Dimaagh
Utri Huwi Shabeeh Tere Baam o Dar Ki Hai
To The Heights Of The Arsh, Why Should Heaven’s Intellect Not Be Reaching,
For The Reflection Of Your Sacred Dome, And Holy Walls It Is Projecting
Wo Khuld Jis Me Utregi Abraar Ki Baraat
Adna Nichaawar Us Mere Dulha Ke Sar Ki Hai
That Paradise Into Which The Convoy Of The Pious Mystics Will Be Descending,
Is In Fact The Modest Blessings, Which From My Groom’s Head Was Falling
Ambar Zameeñ, ‘Abeer Hawa Mushk e Tar Ghubaar!
Adna Si Ye Shanaakht Teri Rah-Guzar Ki Hai
An Amber Ground, An ‘Abeer Breeze & Dust From Which Musk Is Emanating,
This Is The Basic Recognition, Of The Path On Which You Will Be Passing
298
Sarkaar Ham Gawaaroñ Me Tarz e Adab Kahaañ
Ham Ko To Bas Tameez Yahi Bheek Bhar Ki Hai
Ya Rasool’Allah! What Do Ignorant Village Folk Like Us, Know About Respecting
All We Have Understood, Is That We Should Come To Your Court, Begging
Maangenge Maange Jaa-enge Munh Maangi Paa-enge
Sarkaar Me Na ‘Laa’ Hai Na Haajat Agar Ki Hai
We Will Ask & We Will Go On Asking, Whatever We Ask We Will Be Getting,
For In Our Master’s Court, There Is Neither ‘No’, Nor The Need For ‘If’ Is Existing
Uff Be-Haya-iyaañ Ke Ye Munh Awr Tere Huzoor
Haañ Tu Kareem Hai Teri Khoo Dar Guzar Ki Hai
Alas! We Are So Shameless, Our Faces Before You, We Are Presenting,
However, You Are Our Generous King, It Is Your Nature To Be Forgiving
Tujh Se Chupa-uñ Munh To Karuñ Kis Ke Saamne
Kya Awr Bhi Kisi Se Tawaq’qo Nazar Ki Hai
If I Hide My Face From You, Before Whom Else Can I Be Standing,
Any Hope & Special Attention From Anyone Else, Can I Be Expecting?
Jaa-uñ Kahaañ Pukarooñ Kise Kis Ka Munh Takuñ
Kya Pursish Awr Jaa Bhi Sag e Be-Hunar Ki Hai
Where Can I Go, Whom Should I Call Out To, At Whose Face Should I Be Looking
Is There Anywhere Else, Where About This Useless Dog, Someone Will Be Asking
Baab e Ata To Ye Hai Jo Behka Idhar Udhar
Kaisi Kharaabi Us Nighaare Dar Ba-Dar Ki Hai
This Is The Court Of Benediction, From Pillar To Post Why Are You Going,
How Deprived Is That Aimless One, Who From Door To Door Is Wandering
299
Aabaad Aik Dar Hai Tera Awr Tere Siwa
Jo Baargaah Dekhiye Ghayrat Khand’ar Ki Hai
There Is Only One Door, Which Is Completely Accommodating
Except For Your Court, Every Other Door Is Ruined And Shameful Looking
Lub Waa Haiñ Aankheñ Band Haiñ Phayli Haiñ Jholiyaañ
Kitne Mazay Ki Bheek Tere Paak Dar Ki Hai
Our Lips Are Moving, Our Eyes Are Closed, Our Empty Purses We Are Holding,
So Pleasurable It Feels, At Your Sacred Court, To Be Begging
Ghera Andheriyoñ Ne Duha-ee Hai Chaand Ki
Tanha Huñ Kaali Raat Hai Manzil Khatar Ki Hai
I Am Overwhelmed By Dark Forces, The Aid Of My Moon I Am Needing
I Am Alone, The Night Is Dark, And My Stop-over Is One Which Is Terrifying
Qismat Me Laakh Pech Hoñ Sau Bal Hazaar Kaj
Ye Saari Gut’hi Ek Teri Seedhi Nazar Ki Hai
My Life Has Countless Snags, Hundreds Of Twists, Thousands Of Hurdles,
Puzzling
But All These Complications, Your One Direct Sight Can Be Eliminating
Aisi Bandhi Naseeb Khule, Mushkileñ Khuleeñ
Donoñ Jahaañ Me Dhoom Tumhaari Kamar Ki Hai
Like Mine, The Destiny Of Many Was Unlocked, With Their Hardships Ending,
In Both Worlds, Your Eagerness To Intercede, All Are Praising
Jannat Na Deñ, Na Deñ, Teri Rooyat Ho Khayr Se
Is Gul Ke Aage Kis Ko Hawas Barg o Bar Ki Hai
If Jannat I Am Not Given, Be It So; But Your Sacred Face I Should Be Seeing,
In The Presence Of This Rose, Fruits And Flowers Who Will Be Desiring
300
Sharbat Na Deñ, Na Deñ, Tu Kare Baat Lutf Se
Ye Shahd Ho To Phir Kisay Parwa Shakar Ki Hai
If The Sweet Drink I Am Not Given, Be It So; Just Talk To Me, While Being Loving,
If This Sweetest Honey I Receive, Sugar Who Will Be Desiring
Maiñ Khaana Zaad Kohna Huñ Soorat Likhi Huwi
Bandoñ Kaneezoñ Me Mere Maadar Pidar Ki Hai
I Am An Old Slave Child Born At Home, With A Record, Long-Standing,
In The List Of Your Male & Female Slaves, My Mother & Father Are Appearing
Mangta Ka Haath Ut’the Hee Daata Ki Deyn Thi
Doori Qubool o ‘Arz Me Bas Haath Bhar Ki Hai
As Soon As The Mendicant Raised His Hands, His Master Started Bestowing,
Only An Arm’s Length Interval, Was Between My Asking, And His Bestowing
Sanki Wo Dekh Baada e Shafa’at Ki De Hawa
Ye Aabru RAZA Tere Daamaan e Tar Ki Hai
O Ecstatic One Look! The Breeze Of Intercession Is Now Blowing,
O Raza! This Is The Prestige Of Your Mantle, From Which Tears Are Dripping
301
Wo Sarwar e Kishwar e Risaalat
Wo Sarwar e Kishwar e Risaalat Jo ‘Arsh Par Jalwah-Gar Huwe Thay
Naye Niraale Tarab Ke Saamaañ Arab Ke Mehmaan Kay Liye Thay
When Upon The Exalted Arsh Of Almighty Allah,
The Emperor Of The Realm Of Prophethood, Manifested
With Exclusively Original And Magnificent Arrangements,
The Esteemed Arabian Guest, Was Greeted
Bahaar Haiñ Shaadiyañ Mubaarak, Chaman Ko Aabadiyañ Mubarak
Malak, Falak, Apni-Apni Le Me, Ye Ghur ‘Anaadil Ka Bolte Thay
Jubilant Glad-tidings, To The Spring Blooms Of Elegance,

Wahaañ Falak Par Yahaañ Zameeñ Me, Rachi Thee Shaadi Machi Thee Dhoomeñ
Udhar Se Anwaar Hañste Aate, Idhar Se Nafhaat Ut’th Rahe Thay
There In The Skies, Here On The Earth,
Joyous Celebrations, And Excitement Erupted
As Showers Of Noor, Descended From There,
Sweet Fragrances Ascended From Here, Elated
Ye Choot Parti Thee Un Ke Rukh Ki, Ke Arsh Tak Chaandni Thee Chatki
Wo Raat Kya Jagmagaa Rahi Thee, Jagah-Jagah Nasb Aa-ine Thay
Extending Up To The Arsh Of Allah Almighty,
A Beaming Radiance, His Bright Face Emitted
With Multiple Mirrors Of Light, Set Up at Every Station
So Luminously, Was That Auspicious Night, Illuminated
302
Nayi Dulhan Ki Phaban Me Kaa’ba, Nikhar Ke Sañwara Sañwar Ke Nikhra
Hajar Ke Sadqe Kamar Ke Ek Til, Me Rang Laakhoñ Bana-o Ke Thay
Like A Glowing New Bride, In Her Elegant Wedding Outfit,
The Holy Kaa’ba’s Elegance And Beauty Was Reflected
From The Sacred Black Stone, Like A Beauty-Spot On Its Waistline,
Millions Of Attractive Shades Emanated
Nazar Me Dulha Ke Pyaare Jalwe, Haya Se Mehraab Sar Jhukaa-e
Siyaah Parde Ke Munh Par Aañchal, Tajal’li-e Zaat e Bahat Se Thay
As The Radiant Rays in The Groom’s Eyes Caught Her Sight,
The Mehraab Timidly Bowed Her Head, Enchanted
On The Facade Of The Black Veil, A Brocade Was Draped,
By The Manifestation Of Divine Light, Purely Saturated
Khushi Ke Baadal Umand Ke Aaye, Diloñ Ke Ta-oos Rang Laaye
Wo Naghma e Na’at Ka Sama Tha, Haram Ko Khud Wajd Aa Rahe Thay
Clouds Of Bliss Swiftly Gathered, Their Hidden Peacock Like Shades,
The Vibrant Hearts Ecstatically Exhibited
Such Was The Ambiance Of The Prophetic Praise,
That The Holy Haram Itself, Was Mystically Captivated
Ye Jhooma Meezaab e Zar Ka Jhoomar, Ke Aa Raha Kaan Par Dhalak Kar
Phu-haar Barsi, To Moti Jhar-Kar, Hateem Ki Gowd Me Bhare Thay
So Blissfully The Jewel Like, Golden Meezab Channel Swayed,
That It Slid From The Forehead To The Ear, Excited
As Merciful Rains Drizzled, Raindrops Filled The Hateem,
Like Pearls In Her Lap, Carefully Congregated
303
Dulhan Ki Khushboo Se Mast Kapre, Naseem e Gustakh Aañchaloñ Se
Ghilaaf e Mushkeeñ Jo Ur’h Raha Tha, Ghazaal Naafe Basa Rahe Thay
The Outfit Was In Rapture By The Bride’s Sweet Fragrance;
To Its Brocade, The Spring Breeze Was Ingeniously Attracted
Whatever Became Airborne Of The Fragranced Ghilaaf Covering,
Into The Pods Of The Tartary Deer, Was This Musk Deposited
Pahariyoñ Ka Wo Husn e Taz’eeñ, Wo Oonchi Chowti Wo Naaz o Tamkeeñ
Saba Se Sabza Me Lehre Aayi, Dupat-te Dhaani Chunay Huwe Thay
The Stunning Mountain Terrain, Displaying Its Towering Peaks,
It’s Striking Elegance, It So Grandly Boasted
Then The Fragrant Breeze Caused Its Foliage To Sway,
Like A Maiden’s Greenish Scarf, Over Her Head, Pleated
Naha Ke Nahroñ Ne Wo Chamakta, Libaas Aab e Rawaañ Ka Pehna
Ke Mawje Chariya Thee Dhaar Lachka, Habaab e Taabaañ Ke Thal ‘Tikay Thay
Taking A Fresh Dip, Canals Too Adorned Themselves,
In Sparkling Rivers, Gracefully Flowing, Uncontaminated
Their Waves Embellished, Flowing Like Thin Brocades,
Their Sparkling Foam, Like Floating Flowers, Prettily Decorated
Puraana Pur-Daagh Mal-gaja Tha, Ut’ha Diya Farsh Chaandni Ka
Hujoom e Taar e Nigaah Se Kowsoñ, Qadam-Qadam Farsh Baadle Thay
The Timeworn, Stained, And Faded Moonlit Rug,
Was Effortlessly Removed, And Smoothly Alternated
With The Radiance Of Beaming Eyes, For Miles at Every Step,
Like Shimmering Golden Brocades, The Rug was Ornamented
304
Ghubaar Ban Kar Nisaar Jaa-eñ, Kahaañ Ab Us Rah-Guzar Ko Paa-e
Hamaare Dil Huriyoñ Ki Aankheñ, Farishtoñ Ke Par Jahaañ Biche Thay
Even If We Sacrificed Our Lives, Becoming Particles Of Dust,
We Will Never Find Again, A Path, So Illuminated
Upon Which Our Pining Hearts, The Eyes Of Heavenly Maidens,
And The Wings Of Angels, Were So Humbly Fixated
Khuda Hee De Sabr Jaane Pur-Gham, Dikha-o Kyu-Kar Tujhe Wo Aalam
Jab Un Ko Jhurmut Me Le Ke Qudsi, Jinaañ Ka Dulha Bana Rahe Thay
May Allah Grant You Patience, O My Aching Soul!
How Can I Describe A Sight To You, For Which I Am So Desperate
When The Assembly Of Angels, Gathered Around Him,
Preparing Him As The Groom, Of The Heavens Elevated
Utaar Kar Un Ke Rukh Ka Sadqa, Ye Noor Ka Bat’t Raha Tha Baara
Ke Chaand Sooraj Machal-Machal Kar, Jabeeñ Ki Khayraat Maangte Thay
After Gathering The Blessings Of His Most Radiant Face,
The Offerings Of His Noor Were Being Generously Distributed
When The Sun And The Moon, Frantically Started Pleading,
For The Charity Of Light, Which His Forehead Radiated
Wohi To Ab Tak Chalak Raha He, Wohi To Joban Tapak Raha Hai
Nahaane Me Jo Gira Tha Paani, Katore Taaroñ Ne Bhar Liye Thay
Upto Now The Splashes Of Sacred Droplets, Are Flowing Within Them
By This Sparkling Beauty, They Have Indeed Been Anointed
During His Blessed Ablution, As These Sacred Droplets Trickled,
In Their Pure Hollow Bowls, The Stars Generously Collected
305
Bacha Jo Talwoñ Ka Un Ke Dhowan, Bana Wo Jannat Ka Rang o Roghan
Jinho Ne Dulha Ki Paa-ee Utran, Wo Phool Gulzaar e Noor Ke Thay
The Remaining Water, Which Dripped From His Sacred Soles,
With Its Pulsating Shades, Holy Paradise Was Painted
The Groom’s Used Robes, In The Blissful Gardens Of Light,
Vibrant Flowers They Became, From His Robes Converted
Khabar Ye Tahweel e Mahr Ki Thee, Ke Rut Suhaani Ghari Phiregi
Wahaañ Ki Poshaak Zayb e Tan Ki, Yahaañ Ka Jor’a Barha Chuke Thay
By The Crossing Of The Sun Through The Celestial Stations,
The Pleasing Alternation Of The Seasons He Broadcasted
There He Had Put On, The Heavenly Garb Which Was Desired,
For The Earthly Robes He Took With, He Had Already Distributed
Tajal’li e Haq Ka Sahra Sar Par, Salaat o Tasleem Ki Nichaawar
Do Roya Qudsi Paray Jama-e, Khare Salaami Ke Waaste Thay
The Rays Of Allah’s Divine Light, Was The Crown On His Head,
As Upon Him, Durood And Salaams Were Being Presented
On Either Side, The Assembly Of Angels Stood To Attention
With Their Radiant Wings Gathered, Salaami They Conducted
Jo Ham Bhi Waañ Hote Khaak e Gulshan, Lipat’ Ke Qadmoñ Se Lete Utran
Magar Kare Kya Naseeb Me To, Ye Na-muraadi Ke Din Likhe Thay
If Only We Were There, As The Dust Of The Heavenly Garden,
We Would Have Clung To His Holy Feet, Never To Be Separated
But What More Could We Do, For Already In Our Destiny,
These Sad Days Of Regret, Were Already Documented
306
Abhi Na Aaye The Pusht e Zeeñ Tak, Ke Sar Huwi Maghfirat Ki Shal-lak
Sada Shafa’at Ne Di Mubaarak, Gunaah Mastaana Jhoomte Thay
He Had Not As Yet Advanced Towards The Saddle,
When The Eruptions Declaring Deliverance, Reverberated
Intercession Itself, Conveyed Delightful Felicitations,
While Sins Swayed In A Trance, Collapsing Obliterated
Ajab Na Tha Rakhsh Ka Chamakna, Ghazaal e Dam Khurda Sa Bharakna
Shu’aa-eñ Buk-ke Ur’ha Rahi Thee, Tarapte Aankhoñ Pe Saa’iqe Thay
The Trembling Of The Prophet’s Steed Was Not Surprising,
As It Scrambled Like A Young Deer, Startled And Disconcerted
His Dazzling Mystical Rays, Emitted Streaks Of Brightness
Like Lightning Bolts, Leaving Its Anxious Eyes, Subjugated
Hujoom e Ummeed He, Ghata-o! Muraade De Kar Inheñ Hata-o!
Adab Ki Baage Liye, Barha-o! Mala’ika Me Ye Ghul-Ghule Thay
The Congregation Of Aspirants Are Causing a Congestion,
Fulfil Their Aspirations, And Let The Path Be Vacated
With Respect Hold The Reigns, Let The Holy Steed Advance,
This Was The Echo Amongst The Angels, Stimulated
Ut’thi Jo Gard e Rahe Munawwar, Wo Noor Barsa Ke Raaste Bhar
Ghiray The Baadal Bharay The Jal-Thal, Umand’ Ke Jangal Ubal Rahe Thay
As Clouds Of Radiant Dust Rose, From The Glittering Pathway,
With Showers Of Noor Descending, The Entire Path Was Illuminated
As Clouds Bursting With Light, Swelled Causing A Downpour
The Wilderness Began To Flood, As Glowing Fountains Spurted
307
Sitam Kiya, Kaisi Mat Kati Thee, Qamar! Wo Khaak Un Ke Rah-Guzar Ki
Ut’ha Na Laaya Ke Malte-Malte, Ye Daagh Sab Dekhte Mitay Thay
How Did You Make Such a Blunder, Did You Lose Your Sense, O Moon!
When To Gather The Dust From His Sacred Pathway, You Simply Neglected
If You Had Polished Yourself With It, You Would Have Surely Seen,
How The Stains From Within You, Would Have Evaporated
Buraaq Ke Naqsh e Sum Ke Sadqe, Wo Gul Khila-e Ke Saare Raste
Mahakte Gulban Lahakte Gulshan, Haray Bharay Leh-laha Rahe Thay
The Blessed Impression Of The Holy Buraq’s Hooves,
Produced A Flowery Path, So Exquisitely Scented
With Fragrant Red Roses, And Lush Green Gardens,
All Swaying Beautifully Together, So Sweetly Scented
Namaaz e Aqsa Me Tha Yahi Sir’r, ‘Ayaañ Ho Ma’ani e Aw’wal Aakhir
Ke Dast Basta He Peeche Haazir, Jo Saltanat Aage Kar Gaye Thay
In The Namaaz At Al Aqsa The Secret Was Unveiled,
Who Is First And Who Is Final, Was Cleary Narrated
Present As Followers Behind Him, With Their Hands Tied in Respect,
The Kings Of The Past, Stood Respectfully Congregated
Ye Unki Aamad Ka Dab-Daba Tha, Nikhaar Har Shay Ka Ho Raha Tha
Nujoom o Aflaak, Jaam o Meena, Ujaalte Thay, Khangaalte Thay
Such Was The Magnificence Of His Blessed Arrival,
That Every Single Item Was Being Redecorated
As They Polished And Rinsed, The Goblets And Vessels,
The Stars And The Skies, Were Clearly Spotted
308
Niqaab Ul-te Wo Mahr e Anwar, Jalaal e Rukhsaar Garmiyoñ Par
Falak Ko Haybat Se Tap Charhi Thee, Tapakte Anjum Ke Aabale Thay
As A Veil Was Lifted, From The Face Of The Radiant Sun,
By The Glory Of His Glowing Cheeks, A Warmth Ignited
Awe-Struck And In Shock, It Started To Feel Feverish,
Covered In Blisters Of Burning Stars, The Sky Sweated
Ye Joshish e Noor Ka Asar Tha, Ke Aab e Gohar Kamar-Kamar Tha
Safa-e Rah Se Phisal-Phisal Kar, Sitaare Qadmoñ Pe Lawt-te Thay
Potently Affected By The Intensity Of His Prophetic Light,
The Pearls Became Droplets, Flowing Waist High, As They Melted
On The Smooth And Silky Path, The Stars Began To Slide,
As They Fell At His Sacred Feet, Perfectly Accumulated
Barha Ye Lehra Ke Bahr e Wahdat, Ke Dhul Gaya Naam e Raig e Kasrat
Falak Ke Teeloñ Ki Kya Haqeeqat Ye Arsh o Kursi Do Bul-Bule Thay
The Bountiful Sandy Shorelines Were Simply Washed Away,
As The Swelling Ocean Of Divine Oneness, Manifested
Why Talk About The Worth, Of The Summits Of The Sky,
Even The Arsh And Kursi Were Just Two Bubbles, Aerated
Wo Zil’l e Rahmat Wo Rukh Ke Jalwe, Ke Taare Ch’hupte Na Khilne Paate
Sunehri Zar-Baft Oodhi At-las, Ye Thaan Sab Dhoop Chaawo Ke Thay
In The Shade Of Divine Mercy, And The Radiance Of His Face,
The Stars Concealed Themselves, Their Brightness Isolated
Laid Out Like Golden Brocade, And Fragrant Silken Fabric,
Both Sunshine And Shade, These Radiant Bales Generated
309
Chala Wo Sarw e Chamaañ Khiraama, Na Ruk Saka Sidra Se Bhi Daamaañ
Palak Jhapakti Rahi, Wo Kab Ke, Sab ‘Eeñ o Aañ’ Se Guzar Chuke Thay
He Proceeded So Gracefully, With Such Charming Swiftness,
Even After Reaching The Sidra, He Could Not Be Halted
Eyes Were Still Blinking, When He Bypassed Time And Space,
He Was Already Long Gone, And Could Not Be Sighted
Jhalak Si Ek Qudsiyoñ Par Aa-ee, Hawa Bhi Daaman Ki Phir Na Paa-ee
Sawaari Dulha Ki Door Pahunchi, Baraat Me Hosh Hee Gaye Thay
A Glimpse Of His Reflection, Flashed Past The Angels,
The Sweet Breeze From His Robes, Just Once He Gifted
The Conveyance Of The Groom, Was Already Long Gone,
The Convoy Lost Their Senses, Before He Even Departed
Thakay Thay Rooh ul Ameeñ Ke Baazu, Ch’huta Wo Daaman Kaha Wo Pehlu
Rikaab Ch’hooti Ummeed T’oot’I, Nigaah e Hasrat Ke Wal-Wale Thay
As He Lost His Firm Grip, On His Master’s Robes,
Jibra’eel’s Strong Wings, Were Completely Exhausted
His Hopes Were Dashed, As The Reigns Slipped Away,
With A Regretful Glance, A Passionate Sigh He Emitted
Rawish Ki Garmi Ko Jis Ne Socha, Dimaagh Se Ek Bhabuka Phoota
Khirad Ke Jungle Me Phool Chamka, Dahr-Dahr Peyr Jal Rahe Thay
Whoever Tried To Imagine, The Intensity Of His Speed,
With A Blazing Explosion, His Brain Erupted
In The Wilderness Of Intellect, A Beautiful Flower Bloomed,
By Its Radiance, All The Trees, Were left Brightly Ignited
310
Jilau Me Jo Murgh e Aql Uray Thay, Ajab Buray Haaloñ Girte Parte
Wo Sidra Hee Par Rahe The Thak Kar, Charha Tha Dam Tewar Aagaye Thay
The Birds Of Intellect Which Once Flew Ahead In Formation,
Now Collapsed Onto Each Other, Feeling Dejected
With A Sense Of Dizziness, Breathless And Staggered,
They Remained Behind At Sidra, Completely Exhausted
Qawi Thay Murgaan e Wahm Ke Par, Uray To Ur’ne Ko Awr Dam Bhar
Utha-ee Seene Ki Aisi Thokar, Ke Khoon e Andesha Thookte Thay
The Wings Of The Birds Of Fantasy, Were Indeed Resilient,
They Flew, But Their Voyage, Was Quickly Restricted
After Being Struck On The Chest, They Immediately Stumbled,
Collapsing In Awe, Spewing Blood, Completely Devastated
Suna Ye Itne Me Arsh e Haq Ne, Ke Le Mubaarak Ho Taaj Waale
Wohi Qadam Khayr Se Phir Aaye, Jo Pehle Taaj e Sharaf Tere Thay
In That Very Moment, The Exalted Arsh Heard The Revelation,
The Arrival Of The Grand Crown Prince, Is Being Celebrated
The Same Sacred Feet, We Welcome Back Again,
Which Was Once Your Crown Of Dignity, So Great, So Exalted
Ye Sun Ke Be-Khud Pukaar Ut’ha, Nisaar Jaa-uñ Kahaañ He Aaqa
Phir Un Ke Talwoñ Ka Paa-uñ Bosa, Ye Meri Aankhoñ Ke Din Phiray Thay
On Hearing This Declaration The Arsh Ecstatically Exclaimed,
May I Be Sacrificed! Where Is My Beloved; O So Exalted!
Once Again I will Get To Kiss, My Master’s Sacred Soles,
The One Who Brightens My Eyes, Has Returned As Expected
311
Jhuka Tha Mujre Ko Arsh e Aa’la, Giray Thay Sajde Me Bazm e Baala
Ye Aankheñ Qadmoñ Se Mal Raha Tha, Wo Gird e Qurbaan Ho Rahe Thay
The Exalted Arsh Humbly Bowed Down in Veneration,
The Angels Of The Exalted Heights, Fell Down And Prostrated
While It Rubbed Its Eyes Against His Blessed Feet,
At Every Station, They Respectfully Submitted
Zia-eñ Kuch Arsh Par Ye Aa-ee, Ke Saari Qindeeleñ Jhil-mila-eeñ
Huzoor e Khursheed Kya Chamakte, Chiraagh Munh Apna Dekhte Thay
Such Radiant Illuminations Graced The Exalted Arsh,
That All The Luminous Lamps, Flickered And Suffocated
In The Presence Of The Sun, How Could They Possibly Glow,
The Lamps Looked At Themselves, Simply Fascinated
Yahi Samaañ Tha Ke Paik-e Rahmat, Khabar Ye Laaya Ke Chaliye Hazrat
Tumhaari Khaatir Kushaada Hai, Jo Kaleem Par Band Raste Thay
In This Cordial Atmosphere, Please Proceed O Hazrat!
This Special Message, The Emissary Of Mercy Related
All The Paths Which Were Sealed, Upon Musa The Kaleem
Unlocked Are Now Those Paths, For You They are Unrestricted
Bar’h Ay Muhammad Qareeñ Ho Ahmad, Qareeb Aa Sarwar e Mumaj’jad
Nisaar Jaa-uñ Ye Kya Nida Thee, Ye Kya Samaañ Tha Ye Kya Mazay Thay
Advance O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم Come Closer O Ahmad صلى الله عليه وسلم
Come Even Nearer, O Emperor! Grandly Celebrated
What A Blessed Call This Was, May I Be Sacrificed! What A Beautiful
Atmosphere, What A Pleasurable Moment Completely Elated
312
ـَ ـَار ـَ≈ اللـّ ه
ـَتب Shaan Teri, Tujhi Ko Zaiba He Be-Niyaazi
Kaheeñ To Wo Josh e ـِي�ـَا
ـَتر ـَلن , Kaheeñ Taqaaze Wisaal Ke Thay
Allah! The Possessor Of All Blessings, Is Your Divine Excellence,
Divine Sovereignty Is Only To You, The Most Exalted
Yet For One Is The Potent Command, ‘You Will Never Be Able To See Me’,
And For The Other, The Call Of Imminence Is Divinely Mandated
Khirad Se Keh Do Sar Jhuka Le, Gumaañ Se Guzre Guzarne Waale
Paray He Yaañ Khud Jihat Ko Laale, Kisay Bata-e Kidhar Gaye Thay
Advise The Intellect To Bow Its Head in Humility,
Beyond The Parameters Of Imagination, The Traveller Accelerated
As it Lost Its Bearings, Direction Itself Was Totally Clueless
How Could It Direct Anyone Else, To Where He Had Exited
Suraagh e Ain o Mata Kahaañ Tha, Nishaan e Kaif o Ila Kahaañ Tha
Na Ko-ee Raahi Na Ko-ee Saathi, Na Sang e Manzil Na Marhale Thay
Neither Was There Any Indication Of ‘Where’ And ‘When’,
Nor Was There Trace Of ‘How’ And ‘Towards Where’ He Departed
Neither Was There Any Traveller, Nor Any Companion With Him,
Nor A Landmark, Or Station, At Which He Alighted
Udhar Se Payham Taqaaze Aana, Idhar Se Mushkil Qadam Barhana
Jalaal o Haybat Ka Saamna Tha, Jamaal o Rahmat Ub’haarte Thay
From Beyond, The Endless Divine Calls Were Duly Revealed,
From Here, With Cautious Restraint, Every Step Was Initiated
As He Experienced The Manifestation Of Divine Might, With Awe
By Divine Magnificence And Mercy, His Every Step Was Supported
313
Bar’he To Lekin Jhijakte Darte, Haya Se Jhukte Adab Se Rukte
Jo Qurb Unheeñ Ki Rawish Pe Rakhte, To Laakhoñ Manzil Ke Faasle Thay
With Caution He Advanced, Overwhelmed With Fear,
Bowing With Humility, And Out Of Respect He Waited
If Imminence Was Measured On His Respectful Manner Of Progress,
It Is A Distance Beyond Countless Stages, Which Cannot Be Calculated
Par Un Ka Bar’hna To Naam Ko Tha, Haqeeqatan Fe’l Tha Udhar Ka
Tanaz’zuloñ Me Taraq’qi Afza, Dana Tadal’la Ke Silsile Thay
In Fact, His Own Advancing Was Only In Name, And Very Modest
In Reality, It Was By Divine Will, Through Which He Was Attracted
Within These Manifestations, He Progressed With Humility,
And To The Allah Given Nearness, He Was Further Attracted
Huwa Na Aakhir Ke Aik Bajra, Tamuw’waje Bahr e ‘Hu’ Me Ubhra
Dana Ki Gowdi Me Un Ko Le Kar, Fana Ke Langar Utha Diye Thay
The Ultimate Was Not As Yet Reached, When From The Ocean Of
‘Divine Attributes’, A Torrent Of Manifestations, Manifested
Encompassing Him In The Magnificence Of Allah Given Nearness,
The Anchors Of ‘Total Submission’ Were Majestically Lifted
Kisay Milay Ghaat Ka Kinaara, Kidhar Se Guzra Kahaañ Utaara
Bhara Jo Misl e Nazar Taraarah, Wo Apni Aankhoñ Se Khud Chupay Thay
The Endless Shorelines Who Could Ever Discover,
Through Which He Was Guided, And Where He Infact Alighted
From His Very Own Eyes, He Was Himself Totally Hidden,
As He Advanced With Complete Swiftness, Like Vision Uninterrupted
314
Uth’ay Jo Qasr e Dana Ke Parde, Ko-ee Khabar De to Kya Khabar De
Wahaañ To Jaa Hee Nahiñ Du-ee Ki, Na Keh Ke Wo Bhi Na Thay, Aray Thay
When The Veils Of The Fortress Of Allah Given Nearness, Were Lifted,
If Someone Intends Narrating It, What Is It, That Can Be Narrated!
It Is Impossible For Two, To Be Present Over There,
And Say Not That He Was Not There, For There, He In fact Existed
Wo Baagh Kuch Aisa Rang Laaya, Ke Ghuncha o Gul Ka Farq Ut’haaya
Girah Me Kaliyoñ Ki Baagh Phoolay, Guloñ Ke Takme Lagay Huwe Thay
That Blissful Garden Bloomed With Such Exquisiteness,
The Difference Separating The Rose, And The Rose Bud Was Lifted
In The Radiant Cluster, Blossomed Entire Gardens Of Buds,
Loops Of Glowing Roses, Were Beautifully Rooted
Muheet o Markaz Me Farq Mushkil, Rahe Na Faasil Khutoot e Waasil
Kamaan e Hayrat Me Sar Jhuka-e, Ajeeb Chak-kar Me Daa-iray Thay
To Differentiate Between The Circumference And The Centre Point Is Difficult,
As The Connecting Lines Do Not Remain Separated,
The Curves Bowed Their Heads, Completely Astounded,
In A State Of Utter Confusion, The Circles Orbited
Hijaab Ut’hnay Me Laakhoñ Parde, Har Aik Parde Me Laakhoñ Jalwe
‘Ajab Ghari Thee Ke Wasl O Furqat, Janam Ke Bichre Galay Milay Thay
In The Raising Of The Veil, There Were Countless Veils,
Within Every Single Veil, Countless Manifestations, Manifested
It Was An Extraordinary Moment, When Union And Separation,
Embraced Once Again, As If From Birth, Separated
315
Zubaaneñ Sookhi Dikha Ke Mawjeñ, Tar’ap Rahi Thee Ke Paani Paa-e
Bhañwar Ko Ye Zo’af e Tishnagi Tha, Ke Halqe Aankhoñ Me Par Gaye Thay
Hanging Out Their Parched Tongues, In Search Of Water,
The Waves Were Thirsty, And Completely Desperate
Dark Rings Were Formed Beneath The Swirling Whirlpool’s Eyes
Overcome With Immense Thirst, It Became Incapacitated
Wohi He Aw’wal, Wohi He Aakhir, Wohi He Baatin, Wohi He Zaahir
Usee Ke Jalwe, Usee Se Milne, Usee Se, Us Ki Taraf Gaye Thay
He Is The First Without A Beginning, He Is The Final Without An End,
He Is The Unseen Knower Of All, The Almighty, The Most Exalted
To Go And Meet Him, By His Divine Will; Towards Him,
His Manifested Radiances, Actually Migrated
Kamaan e Imkaañ Ke Jhoote Nuqto, Tum Aw’wal Aakhir Ke Pheyr Me Ho
Muheet Ki Chaal Se To Poocho, Kidhar Se Aaye Kidhar Gaye Thay
O Imaginary Points On The Curve Of Possibility, While Between You,
The Matter Of First And Last Is Still Being Contested
Simply Query The Trajectory Of A Circumference,
Tracing Where It Ended, And From Where It Had Started
Idhar Se Thee Nazr e Shah, Namaazeñ, Udhar Se In’aam e Khusrawi Me
Salaam o Rahmat Ke Haar Goondh Kar, Gilu-e Pur Noor Me Paray Thay
From Here, The Humble Submission From Our King, Were Glorious Prostrations;
While From Beyond, A Majestic Reward Was Granted
On His Radiantly Glowing And Sacred Neck,
Garlands Of Salaams And Mercy Were Beautifully Decorated

316
Zubaan Ko Intizaar e Guftan, To Gosh Ko Hasrat e Shunidan
Yahaañ Jo Kehna Tha Keh Liya Tha, Jo Baat Sun-ni Thee Sun Chukay Thay
The Blessed Tongue Eagerly Waited To Speak,
While To Hear, The Yearning Ears Anticipated
Whatever Was To Be Mentioned Here, He Mentioned
And He Heard Whatever He Wished For, And Truly Wanted
Wo Burj e Batha Ka Mah-Paara, Bahisht Ki Seyr Ko Sidhaara
Chamak Pe Tha Khuld Ka Sitaara, Ke Is Qamar Ke Qadam Gaye Thay
On A Tour Of Holy Paradise, The Most Beloved
Of The Towering Meccan Galaxy, Comfortably Departed
Heaven’s Star Was Glowing With Good-Fortune,
When In it, The Sacred Feet Of The Radiant Moon Alighted
Suroor e Maqdam Ki Roshni Thee, Ke Taabishoñ Se Mah e Arab Ki
Jinaañ Ke Gulshan Thay Jhaar Farshi, Jo Phool Thay Sab Kañwal Banay Thay
By His Glowing And Most Delightful Arrival,
The Radiance Which The Arabian Moon Emitted
Transformed The Thorn Bushes On Earth Into Heavenly Gardens,
While All The Other Flowers Turned Into Lotus Flowers, Scented
Tarab Ki Naazish Ke Haañ Lachakiye, Adab Wo Bandish Ke Hil Na Sakiye
Ye Josh e Zid’dain Tha Ke Poday, Kasha-Kash Aara Ke Talay Thay
With Pride And Delight, They Wished To Sway, But Restrained,
By The Restraints Of Respect, Even Their Movement Was Restricted
As They Battled The Intensity Of Both These Opposites,
The Saplings Felt, They Would Soon Be Dissected
317
Khuda Ki Qudrat Ke Chaand Haq Ke, Karoroñ Manzil Me Jalwa Kar Ke
Abhi Na Taaroñ Ki Chaa-o Badli, Ke Noor Ke Tarke Aa Liye Thay
By The Divine Power Of Allah, After Countless Stations,
The Moon Of Righteousness Comfortably Navigated
He Returned Before The Glare Of The Stars Started To Dim,
And The Rays Of Dawn Had Not As Yet Penetrated
Nabi e Rahmat Shafi’ e Ummat, RAZA Pe Lil’laah Ho Inaayat
Isay Bhi Un Khil’atoñ Se His’sa, Jo Khaas Rahmat Ke Waañ Bat’ay Thay
O Nabi Of Mercy, O Intercessor Of The Ummah,
For Allah! Bestow Upon Raza Your Blessings Unlimited
Afford Him A Blessed Share Of Those Majestic Blessings,
Of Special Mercy, Which Were In The Heights, Distributed
Thana e Sarkaar Hai Wazifa, Qubool e Sarkaar He Taman’na
Na Shaa’iri Ki Hawas Na Parwa, Rawee Thee Kya, Kaise Kaafiye Thay
Chanting The Praise Of My Master, Is My Daily Litany,
In The Court Of My Master, May This Aspiration Be Accepted
I (Raza) Have No Desire Or Love For Poetic Recognition,
Or How The Post Rhyme Word, Or Rhyme Is Connected
318
Ruba’iyaat – Poetic Quatrains
First Poetic Quatrain
Aate Raheñ Ambia ْ
Ke Khaatam Huwe Tum
Ya’ani Jo Huwa Daftar
Tamaam
Aakhir Me Huwi Mohr Ke ْ

Just As It Was Said For Them, The Ambia Continued Arriving
And At You Nubuw’wat Was Sealed, For The Seal You Are Being
In Other Words, Just As The Holy Scriptures He Completed Revealing
‘I Have Perfected For You This Deen’ Was The Final Seal & Closing
Second Poetic Quatrain
Shab Lahya O Shaarib Hai Rukh e Roshan Din
Gaisoo Do Shab Qadr O Bara’at e Momin
Mizhgaañ Ki Safeñ Chaar Haiñ Do Abru Haiñ
ـَ ْالفـَ جر
ـَ ٍ ال ـَعْ�ٍ Me Pehlu Ke و
ـَلي
His Beard & Moustache Are Like Night, His Sacred Face Like Day Is Bright
For The Believers His Two Locks Are Like The Night Of Qadr & Bara’at Night
The Lines Of The Eyelashes Are Four, With Two Eyebrows, Full Of Light
In The Shade Of True Dawn, Ten Nights Are In Sight
Translator’s Note: The Beard Is Number One, The Moustache Is Number Two, The
Two Locks Are Numbers Three And Four, The Upper Eyelashes Are Numbers Five And
Six The Lower Eyelashes Are Numbers Seven And Eight, The Eyebrows Are Numbers
Nine And Ten. Together They Are The Tafseer Of جر الفـَْ ـَ
ـَ ٍ ال ـَعْ�ٍ And و
ي لـَ Which Is Implying
His صلى الله عليه وسلم Sacred Face Which Is Brighter Than True Dawn, And The Beard, Moustache,
Blessed Locks Of Hair, Eyelashes And Brows, Are Like The Ten Nights, Which Are
Taking The Blessings Of The Bright Face. [End]
319
Third Poetic Quatrain
Allah Ki Sar Ta Ba-Qadam Shaan Haiñ Ye
In Saa Nahiñ Insaan Wo Insaan Haiñ Ye
Qur’an To Imaan Bataata Hai Inheñ
Imaan Ye Kehta Hai Meri Jaan Haiñ Ye
From His Sacred Head To Sacred Feet, The Manifestation Of Allah Is He
A Human Not Like Ordinary Humans, But That Most Unique Human Is He
The Glorious Qur’an Announces, That Indeed Imaan, Is He
Imaan Proclaims, That In Fact, My Soul, Is He
Fourth Poetic Quatrain
Bosa-Gah e Ashaab Wo Mohr e Saami
Wo Shaana e Chup Me Us Ki Ambar Faami
Ye Turfa Ke Hai Kaa’ba Jaan O Dil Me
Sang e Aswad Naseeb Rukn e Shaami
The Sacred Place Kissed By The Sahaba, Is The Prophetic Seal, So Sacred
Near The Left Shoulder, More Fragrant Than Musk It Is Scented
It’s Amazing! That The Kaa’ba Is In Our Soul And Heart Embedded
While The Hajr e Aswad In The Rukn e Shaami Is Embedded
Fifth Poetic Quatrain
Kaa’be Se Agar Turbat e Shah Faazil Hai
Kyuñ Baa-eeñ Taraf Us Ke Liye Manzil Hai
Is Fikr Me Jo Dil Ki Taraf Dhiyaan Gaya
Samjha Ke Wo Jism Hai, Ye Marqad Dil Hai
Compared To The Kaa’ba, If My Master’s Raudha Is More Exalted
On The Left Of The Holy Kaa’ba Why Is it Then Situated
While Thinking, Towards My Heart, When My Thoughts I Directed
The Kaa’ba Is The Body & His Resting Place Is The Heart, I Concluded
320
Sixth Poetic Quatrain
Tum Chaaho To Qismat Ki Musibat ‘Tal Jaaye
Kyuñ Kar Kahuñ Saa’at Se Qiyaamat ‘Tal Jaaye
Lil’laah Ut’haado Rukh e Roshan Se Niqaab
Maula Meri Aa-ee Huwi Shaamat ‘Tal Jaaye
If You Wish Then The Calamities Of My Destiny, Will Fade Away
I Cannot Say That The Occurrence Of Qiyaamat Should Fade Away
For Allah’s Sake From Your Radiant Face, The Veil Please Move Away
So That All The Calamities Which Overwhelmed Me, May Fade Away
Seventh Poetic Quatrain
Yaañ Shibh e Shabeeh Ka Guzarna Kaisa!
Be Misl Ki Timsaal Sañwarna Kaisa
Un Ka Muta’al’liq Hai Taraq’qi Pe Madaam
Tasweer Ka Fir Kahiye Utarna Kaisa?
Here, How Can One Even Assume Resemblance Or Likeness
How Can He Be Resembled When He Is One Who Is Peerless
For All That Which Is Attributed To Him, Is Excellence In Progress
So How Is It Possible To Capture His Picture, When He Is Peerless
Eighth Poetic Quatrain
Ye Shah Ki Tawaazu’ Ka Taqaaza Hee Nahiñ
Tasweer Khinche Un Ko Gawaara Hee Nahiñ
Maa’na Hai Ye Maani Ke Karam Kya Maane
Khinchna To Yahaañ Kisi Se Tehera Hee Nahiñ
This Is Surely Not The Requirement Of My King’s Humility
To Have His Picture Taken, He Is Never Pleased Or Ready
This Means That You Should Accept That, Accepted By His Mercy
For Here, To Take His Picture, None Will Have The Audacity
321
