Tried to translate another one of the master's (Faiz) work in English. Of course, no translation can render the same amount of sublime beauty as the original masterpiece.
Shaam-e-Firaaq Ab Na Pooch, Aayi Aur Aake Tal Gayee
Dil Tha Ki Phir Bahal Gayaa, Jaan Thi Ki Phir Sambhal Gayee
Bazm-e-Khyaal Mein Tere Husn Ki Shamma Jal Gayee
Dard Ka Chaand Bujh Gayaa Hijr Ki Raat Dhal Gayee
Jab Tujhe Yaad Kar Liyaa Subah Mahak Mahak Utthi
Jab Tera Gham Jagaa Liyaa Raat Machal Machal Gayee
Dil Se Toh Har Muaamla Kar Ke Chale The Saaf Hum
Kehne Mein Un Ke Saamne Baat Badal Badal Gayee
Aakhir-e-Shab Ke Humsafar Faiz Na Jaane Kahaan Gaye
Rah Gayee Kis Jagah Sabaa, Subah Kidhar Nikal Gayee
Do not ask about the evening of separation; it came, and passed
The heart got diverted again and life found its feet again
In the ensemble of my thoughts, the light of your beauty lit up
The moon of pain snuffed out, the night of separation slipped away
Whenever I remembered you, mornings became fragrant
Whenever I awakened your pain, the nights became restless
In this heart I had sorted all the issues before setting out
However while recounting before her, words changed by themselves
Where did my co-travellers to the end-of-the-night go?
Where did the breeze get left behind and which way did the dawn walk off?
