[dastur-e-ishq]

phir yunh hua kay ek dusray ko taktay rahain yunhi // wo andaaz e bayaan say qaasir, mein lafz e ibtida say aajiz

— Then it so happened, we remained lost in each other’s gaze; they were restrained in expression, and I, unable to speak

There are too many gatherings present in a single one,

Whoever you'll look closely at, will be alone.

اللَّهُ أَكْبَر مِن كُل ما أَخافُ وَأَحْذَر

Allah is greater than all my fears and worries.

[dastur-e-ishq]

کبھی کبھی مرے دل میں خیال آتا ہے / کہ زندگی تری زلفوں کی نرم

چھاؤں میں / گزرنے پاتی تو شاداب ہو بھی سکتی تھی۔

Sometimes the thought comes to my mind of how life would have bloomed so beautifully if it was spent in the soft shadows of your hair.

Ye aankhein khushk hein, ya Rabb inhein rona nahi aata Sulagtay daagh hein dil mein jinhein dhona nahin aata

These eyes are dry, Oh Lord, for they can not cry // There are burning scars in my heart, still unhealed

“Mera dil karta hain ki main poori ki poori Ashar ki pasand ke saanche mein dhal jaun. Jo Ashar ko pasand hai wo apna loon. Jo unhe na pasand ho woh hamesha kay liye chodh doon.”

اصل وفا تو محبوب کی غیر موجودگی میں ظاہر ہوتی ہے۔

true loyalty is only revealed in beloved’s absence.

“Ek chehra hai jo ankhon mein basa rehta hai // ek tassavur hai jo tanha honay nahi deta .”

— a face lingers, etched within my eyes, a vision that never leaves me lonely inside.

Now, we change the topic whenever your name comes up // How eager we once were to speak of you, in the beginning.

[dastur-e-ishq]

“Dil de tau iss mizaaj ka parwardigaar day // jo ranj ki gharri bhi khushi say guzaar day.”

“Grant me, O Creator, a heart of such a nature,

That even in moments of sorrow, it passes with joy’s signature.”

[dastur-e-ishq]

“Izzat o ehteram mohabbat ki sab se badi daleel hai. Aik rishte mai ishq se zyaada izzat ho, aik doosre ka ehteram ho, toh woh khoob nibh jaata hai. Lekin jis rishte main izzat nahin hoti, woh bilkul aise hai jaise bin pahiye ki gaadi. Shuru' kar bhi lo toh usay chalaana na-mumkin ho jaata hai.”

“…a relationship devoid of respect is akin to a car without wheels; even if you manage to start it, driving it becomes impossible.”

[dastur-e-ishq]

“Abhi utha hoon neend se tumhara khwab dekh ke // abhi tum ek khwab ho, abhi pas-e-hijaab ho.”

as a dream you came to me and woke me from my sleep—even now, you’re still a dream, even now, you’re behind the veil.
