    Interesting Fact

    Film: Deedar-e-Yaar (1982)

    saraktī jaa.e hai ruḳh se naqāb āhista āhista

    nikaltā aa rahā hai āftāb āhista āhista

    the veil slips from her visage at such a gentle pace

    as though the sun emerges from a cloud's embrace

    javāñ hone lage jab vo to ham se kar liyā parda

    hayā yak-laḳht aa.ī aur shabāb āhista āhista

    as she came of age she started to be veiled from me

    shyness came to her at once, beauty then slowly

    shab-e-furqat jaagā huuñ farishto ab to sone do

    kabhī fursat meñ kar lenā hisāb āhista āhista

    I haven't slept since parting eve, O Angels, I request

    I'll settle your accounts at leisure for now let me rest

    savāl-e-vasl par un ko adū ḳhauf hai itnā

    dabe hoñToñ se dete haiñ javāb āhista āhista

    on question of our meeting, so scared of rival's she

    in soft tones thus replies, her answer whisperedly

    vo bedardī se sar kāTeñ 'amīr' aur maiñ kahūñ un se

    huzūr āhista āhista janāb āhista āhista

    I tell her when she slashes at my neck so cruelly

    my dear, take it easy, sweetheart do it properly

    sarakti jae hai ruKH se naqab aahista aahista

    nikalta aa raha hai aaftab aahista aahista

    the veil slips from her visage at such a gentle pace

    sawal-e-wasl par un ko adu ka KHauf hai itna

    dabe honTon se dete hain jawab aahista aahista

    on question of our meeting, so scared of rival's she
