Ek Shakhs


When it comes to ghazals, Amjad Islam Amjad's poetry is mediocre but when it comes to nazms, he is great.

I love this one because it is short and sweet, simple, easy and yet it has a certain class of affection attached to it.

EK SHAKHS

Nah gila nah shikayataiN karay
Ek aisa shakhs huwa karay
Jo mere liye he saja karay
Bus mujh se baataiN kya karay

Kabhi roye jaye bepanaah
Kabhi betahasha udaas ho
Kabhi chupke chupke dab-e-qadam
Mere peechay aa ke haNsa karay

Meri qurbatiN meri chahataiN
Woh rakhay yaad qadam qadam
MeiN taweel-e-safar meiN huN agar
Meri wapasi ki dua karay

....ek aisa shakhs huwa karay

-Amjad Islam Amjad

Absolutely. There are extremely rare translations which are able to convey 50%

Gorgeous. You just cant translate this stuff into english because even if you translate it word for word the emotions come out differently and cant compare.
