What frenzy is this? (Zarif Ahmed Zarif)

Daem phuit chi gaemits myaen nazar

yoot matsar kyah?

mei rov labith lol shahar

yoot matsar kyah?

My gaze has been silenced

What frenzy is this?

I lost the city of love I’d found,

What frenzy is this?

Poozai karaan aes gaemits vaens me tsayen

aeyov ti mei ma vuch na sahar

yoot matsar kyah?

I worshipped shadows all my life

Did I alone miss

the arrival of the dawn

What frenzy is this?

Mei khoon mailith sheesha patyan aaene baneyvim

aeseena panin paana khabar

yoot matsar kyah?

I smeared the glass with blood to make mirrors

My image – a stranger

What frenzy is this?

Mei togh na parun kya chu leekhit posh deewaran

kael gaem tavay laen ashar

yoot matsar kyah?

I couldn’t read the writing on floral walls

my lines of fate turned mute

What frenzy is this?

Sukrath me ahsaan karith gav ne, galath cha?

tyem myan hisukh chav na zahar

yoot matsar kyah?

Socrates did me no favors in leaving

I shouldn’t be saying this, but

He didn’t drink my share of poison

What frenzy is this?

Mei rov labith lol shahar

yoot matsar kyah?

daem phuit chi gaemits myaen nazar

yoot matsar kyah?

I’ve lost the city of love I’d found,

What frenzy is this

My gaze has been silenced

What frenzy is this?

Doosra Banwas (Kaifi Azmi)

Ram banwaas se jab laut ke ghar mein aaye,
Yaad jangal bahut aaya jo nagar mein aaye,
Raqsse deewangee aangan mein jo dekha hoga,
6 december ko Shri Ram ne socha hoga,
Itne deewane kahan se mere ghar mein aaye?
Jagmagate thhe jahan Ram key qadmon ke nishaan,
Piyaar kee kahkashan leti thi angdayee jahan,
Mod nafrat ke usee rah guzar mein aaye,
Dharam kya unka hae, kya zaat hae,
yeh janta kaun?
Ghar na jalta tau unhe raat mein pehchanta kaun,
Ghar jalane ko mera, log jo ghar mein aaye,
Shakahari hae mere dost tumahara khanjar.
Tumne Babar kee taraf pheke thhe saare patthar
Hae mere sar ki khata zakhm jo sar mein aaye,
Paun Sarjoo mein aabhi Ram ne dhoye bhee na thhe
Ke nazar aaye wahan khoon ke gehre dhabbe,
Paun dhoye bina Sarjoo ke kinare se uthe,
Ram yeh kehte hue aapne dwaare se uthe,
Rajdhani kee fiza aayee nahin raas mujhe,
6 December ko mila doosra banwaas mujhe.
