 Lyrics:
Urdu Ghazal and English Translation ye ham jo hijr me;N diivaar-o-dar ko dekhte haiN kabhii sabaa ko kabhii naamah-bar ko dekhte haiN 1) in separation we see these walls and doors, 2) sometimes [we] see the breeze, sometimes the Messenger voh aae ghar meiN hamaare khudaa kii qudrat hai kabhii ham un ko kabhii apne ghar ko dekhte haiN 1) she came into our house-- it's the power of the Lord! 2) sometimes we look at her, sometimes at our house nazar lage nah kahiiN us ke dast -o-baazuu ko yih log kyuuN mere zakhm-e jigar ko dekhte hai;N 1) may the evil eye not attach itself to her arm and shoulder! 2) why do these people stare at my liver-wound? tere javaahir-e :tarf-e kulah ko kyaa dekheN ham auj-e :taala-e lal-o-guhar ko dekhte hai;N 1) as if we would see jewels in the border of your cap! 2) we see the height/ascendance of the fortune of ruby and pearl
