Description

Adeel Zaidi's ghazal

Book: Qarz e Jaan

TRANSLATED BY
PROFESSOR ANISUR RAHMAN

Qarz-e jaan se nimat rahii hai hayaat

Paying its debt to life, this life     
 It’s turning back to life, this life   

Just as the clouds disperse out there 
 Life too disperses here, this life   

It can’t recognize its own face   
 So much smeared in dust, this life  

Just as the sun sinks and sets down   
 So spreads now, now shrinks, this life    

Many a scene in a scene alone   
 In many a part so breaks, this life  

None could ever extend this life  
 Bit by bit Adeel, shrinks this life
