Dost

Kahoon dost se dost ki baat kya kya
Rahi dushmanon se mulaaqaat kya kya
What wondrous secrets should I speak of to the Friend who lives in His friend’s heart?
What moment was spent in the thought of anything but Him?
Wuh ‘ishwe wuh ghamze
wuh naghme wuh jalwe
Talab kar rahe ham- aafaat kya kya
Those heart-stopping glances, those mischievous graces
That rapturous music, that dazzling unveiling
What wondrous calamities we are seeking!
Jahaan mujh ko aaya khayaal aa gaye wuh
Dikhaayi hain dil ne karaamaat kya kya
As soon as His thought appeared, He appeared in my heart
what wondrous miracles the heart has accomplished!
Nah thi guftugu darmiyaan phir bhi un se
Pas-i parda-i dil hui baat kya kya
Though nothing was said to Him face to face
What wondrous conversation occurred behind the curtain of the heart!
Kahoon dost se dost ki baat kya kya
What wondrous secrets should I speak of to the Friend who lives in His friend’s heart?
