There, all night longsomeone inside of my breastsstruggled to breathe, battled to rise up,and wished, wished you were therebut was held back by a pairof frozen hands.
There, all night long,from the gloomy twigssorrow rained down, down,someone was falling, falling apart,someone was calling, calling for you,And the air, the heavy airwas collapsing on herover and over.
My little plant was in love,in love with the wind, the wandering wind!Tell me, what is the wind’s address?Where does the wind go, goto rest?
Translation: Maryam Dilmaghani, June 2013, from Tehran.
True Love
Why can’t you love me the way that Ilove you? Why can’t you give to methe way I give to you?My heart, my soul, my spirit all is
yours and you take and feed from it andleave me hollow with nothing back inreturn. Why can’t you give me yourlove the way I give you mine?
Why leave me always wantingmore from what we have, empty andaching wishing we had more time.Incubus you leave me drained
and weak from working so hardto keep our love aflame.Why should this be such aneffort when once it was so
easy? Is it that you no longer loveme as I love you? That havingdrained all my love away youneed to feed elsewhere?
I have no more to give asI have given all I have andif not enough I can do nomore as less than all my loveis no love at all...!!!
Tum Agr Do Ijazat To Chund lafzoon Me Keh Doon,
Ke Tum Bin Mar To Saktay Hain Tum Bin Ji Nahi Saktay...!!!
Tu Mujh Se Dooriyan Barhanay Ka Shoq Pura Kar,
Meri Bhi Zid Hai Tujhe Har Duaa Me Maangon Gi...!!!
Tumhain Seny Se Lagaany Ki Talab Jaag Uthi,
Aisa Karo Tum Apna Naam Mout Rakh Lo...!!!
Tu Mujhe Nawazta hai yeh Tera Karam Hay MOULA,
Warna TERI Rehmaton Ke Qaabil Meri Bandagi Kahan...!!!
Tamasha Rooz Kartay Ho Wafaon Ka Jafaon Ka,
Zara Thero Meray DiL Main Muhabbat Seekh Jao Gay...!!!
Tu Ehl-E-Nazar Hay To Nahi Tujh Ko Khabar Q?
Pehlo Me Tere Koi Zamany Se Khara Hay...!!!
The morning after I saw you
My heart is iron nestled between my lungs
Rusting but still beating despite how fast
Salt can corrode these hard things.
Methodically, I’ve collected the times I would be crying
Inside my chest; it gets heavy.
I know a lot of things, and and when I was fourteen
Assembling metals on a display board for the science fair,
I was unaware that the invisible measures
Of myself could ever matter: the quantity of your affections
For me. The total mass of my worth, gram by gram pulled off
Me and lost in the white sheets of your bed.
I know a lot of things, except for what matters.
Nobody can see the gravity pushing us down,
So I write poems with my eyes closed.
Tu Mere Baad Rakhey Ga Mujhey Yaad,
Main Tere Baad Ik Lamha Na Chahon...!!!
Tabeeb Kehty Hain Ke Main Bach Jaongam,Parheiaz Yeh Ke Usy Bhoolna Hoga...!!!
Tu hi ye Mujhko bata de, Chaahun main ya Na..Apne tu dil ka pata de, Chaahun main ya Na
Tu hi ye mujhko bata de, Chaahun main ya Na..Apne tu dil ka pata.. de, Chaahun main ya Na
Itna bata dun tujhko, chahat pe apni MujhkoYun toh nahin ikhtiyaar, phir bhi ye socha dil NeAb jo laga hoon milne, poochun tujhe ekBaar..
Tu yeh mujhko bata de, Chaahun main ya Na..Apne tu dil ka pata de, Chaahun main ya Na..
Aasi kabhi pehle hui na ThiKhawahishein.. Kisi se bhi milne kina kithi KoshisheinUljhan meri sujha de, Chahun main ya NaAankhon aankhon mein jata DeChaahun main ya Na..
Mere chhote chhote Khwaab hai, Khwaabon mein geet hainGeeton main zindagi hai, Chahat hai, preet HaiAbhi main na dekhun khwaab WohJin mein na tu mile, Le khole hoth HaineAb tak the jo sile
Mujhko na jitna mujhpe, Utna is dil ko TaujhpeHone laga aitbaar, Tanha lamho main ApneBunti hun tere sapneTujhse hua mujhko Piyar..
Poochungi tujhko kabhi na, Chaahun main ya NaTere Khwaabon main ab jeena, Chaahun main kyon Na..
Tu yeh mujhko bata de, Chaahun main ya Na..Apne tu dil ka pata de, Chaahun main ya Na..
Taiz Hawa Ney Mujh Sey PoochaRait Pey Kya Likhtey Rehtey Ho?
Kaash Koi Humsey Bhi PoocheyRaat Gaye Tuk Kyon Jaagey Ho...???
Teri Hasti Se Teri Zaat Se Khushbu AayeTu Jo Boly To Teri Bat Se Khushbu Aaye,
TujhKo Dekhon To Meri Aankh Mehak Si JayeTujhKo Sochon To Khyalaat Se Khushbu Aaye,
Tu Chambeli Hay? Nargis Hay Ke! Raat Ki Rani?TujhKo Chu Loon To Mere Hath Se Khushbu Aaye...!!!
Tu Yaad Bohat Aaya Har Sham Kay BaadKabi Aaghaz Se Pehle Kabi Anjam Kay Baad,
Iss Doobte Sooraj Ki Qasam Iss Dil PayKoi Naam Nahi Likha Tere Naam Kay Baad...!!!
Tujhe Khwabo Me Aksar Log Mujhse Cheen Liya Karte Hain,
Tujhe Wasta Mohabbat Ka, Hamein Sone Na Dia Kar...!!!
Tere Piyaar Ki Hifazat Kuch Is Tarha Se Ki Hum Ne
Jab Kabhi Kisi Ne Piyar Se Dekha To Nazrein Jhuka Li Hum Ne...!!!
Teri Khusboo Chura Lai Hai,
Ajj Bad-E-Saba Ny Had Kar Di...!!!
Teri Khuli Khuli Si Zulfein, Inhy Lakh Tum Sanwaro,
Agr Hum Snwarty TO, Kuch Aur Baat Hoti...!!!
Tujhe Haq Diya Hai Main Ne Mere Saath Dil Lagi Ka
Mere Dil Se Khel Jab Tak Tera Dil Behal Na Jaye...!!!
