GHAZAL FROM ADEEL ZAIDI'S BOOK QARZ-E-JAAN
TRANSLATION BY: PROFESSOR ANISUR RAHMAN
Ba ejaaz-e dair-o haram dekhte hain
It’s by the temple-mosque magic that I see
That which cannot be ever seen but I see
Show me that hamlet of the purest peace now

Ah! His kindness now, let us go and see
Lest someone calls me endearingly again
So endearingly, I look homewards and see
It was tough indeed for the eyes to move away
I seldom looked at her; there was not much to see
She offers the proofs of love again, yet again
So, the ups and downs of her tone I choose to see
There are ways galore to connect with her Adeel
How far she keeps the trust, let me see if I can see
