aae ho to ye hijab kya hai

Mushafi Ghulam Hamdani

aae ho to ye hijab kya hai

Mushafi Ghulam Hamdani

aa.e ho to ye hijāb kyā hai

muñh khol do naqāb kyā hai

when you have come / then why this modesty?

unveil yourself / and show your face to me

siine meñ Thahartā nahīñ dil

yā-rab ise iztirāb kyā hai

my heart does not remain within my breast

tell me, O Lord, what is its unrest?

kal teġh nikāl mujh se bolā

dekh to is aab kyā hai

she drew her sword and then she said to me

the luster and the shine you ought to see

ma.alūm nahīñ ki apnā dīvāñ

hai marsiya kitāb kyā hai

I know not / if my tome of poetry

is it a book / or else an elegy?

jo mar ga.e maare lutf ke

phir un pe miyāñ itaab kyā hai

when due to pleasure, itself, you have died

then why, with her, does your anger abide?

auroñ se to hai ye be-hijābī

mujh se tujhe hijāb kyā hai

to others, you / do deign to show your face

why just with me / is your veil in place?

ai 'mus.hafī' uTh ye dhuup aa.ī

itnā bhī divāne ḳhvāb kyā hai

wake 'mus.hafi'! and see the sunlight stream

O crazy one, say how long shall you dream?

aae ho to ye hijab kya hai

munh khol do naqab kya hai

when you have come / then why this modesty?

unveil yourself / and show your face to me

sine mein Thaharta hi nahin dil

ya-rab ise iztirab kya hai

my heart does not remain within my breast

tell me, O Lord, what is its unrest?

kal tegh nikal mujh se bola

tu dekh to is ki aab kya hai

she drew her sword and then she said to me

the luster and the shine you ought to see

malum nahin ki apna diwan

hai marsiya ya kitab kya hai

I know not / if my tome of poetry

is it a book / or else an elegy?

jo mar gae mare lutf hi ke

phir un pe miyan itab kya hai

when due to pleasure, itself, you have died

then why, with her, does your anger abide?

auron se to hai ye be-hijabi

mujh se hi tujhe hijab kya hai

to others, you / do deign to show your face

why just with me / is your veil in place?

ai 'mushafi' uTh ye dhup aai

itna bhi diwane KHwab kya hai

wake 'mus.hafi'! and see the sunlight stream

O crazy one, say how long shall you dream?
