YAAD

By: Fazil Jamili

Tum hanstee thee jaisey saawan gaa'ye malhaar

Tum rotee thee jaisey baarish, woh bhi moosla dhaar

Tum chaltee thee subah saweray jaisey chaley hawa

Tum ruktee thee maang raha ho jaisey koi dua

Tum sotee thee toot rahi ho jaisey koi angrraayee

Mein ney jitney mosam dekhhey yaad tumhaaree aayee

Translation:

[ REMEMBRANCE
You laugh as if sawan is singing malhar
You weep as if it is raining in torrents
You walk as if the breeze is blowing
You stop as if someone is praying
Your sleep is fascinating like a yawn

You are always on my mind eve or dawn

Sawan: rainy season
malhar: a kind of song said to induce rain ]
