Transcript of Urdu Ghazal with translation
________________________________________
1.
wo jo ham mein tum mein qaraar tha tumhein yaad ho ke na yaad ho
the love that 'tween us used to be, you may, may not recall
vahi ya.ani va.ada nibah ka tumhein yaad ho ke na yaad ho
those promises of constancy, you may, may not recall
2.
wo jo lutf mujh pe the beshtar wo karam ke tha mire haal par
those favours that you did bestow, the kindness that you once did show
mujhe sab hai yaad zara zara tumhein yaad ho ke na yaad ho
I can recall them all somehow, you may, may not recall
3.
wo nae gile wo shikayaten wo maze maze ke hikayaten
new complaints each every night, stories so full of delight
wo har ek baat pe ruThna tumhein yaad ho ke na yaad ho
at every word your feigning slight, you may, may not recall
4.
kabhi baiThe sab mein jo ru-ba-ru to isharaton hi se guftugu
sitting in midst of company, talking in gestures openly
wo bayan shauq ka barmala tumhein yaad ho ke na yaad ho
that expression of love publicly, you may, may not recall
5.
hue ittifaq se gar baham to vafa jatane ko dam-ba-dam
if face to face we chanced to be, to constantly prove loyalty
gila-e-malamat-e-aqriba tumhein yaad ho ke na yaad ho
those plaints of folks' rebukes to me, you may, may not recall
6.
koi baat aisi agar hui ke tumhare ji ko buri lagi
a word of mine if were to be, which hurt you to any degree
to bayan se pehle hi bhoolna tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho
forgetting it most instantly, you may, may not recall
7.
kabhi ham mein tum mein bhi chaah thi kabhi ham se tum se bhi raah thi
friendship twixt us once used to be, a path there was from you to me
kabhi ham bhi tum bhi the ashna tumhein yaad ho ke na yaad ho
once "I" and "you" were not, but we, you may, may not recall
8.
suno zikr hai kai saal ka ki kiya ik aap ne vaada tha
Long past though it appears to be, there was something you promised me
so nibahane ka to zikr kya tumhein yaad ho ke na yaad ho
to fulfil each vow truthfully, you may, may not
9.
wo bigarrna wasl ki raat ka wo na manna kisi baat ka
you getting angry when we met, at everything getting upset
wo nahin nahin ki har aan ada tumhein yaad ho ke na yaad ho
your nay saying I can't forget, you may, may not recall
10.
jise aap ginte the ashna jise aap kahte the bawafa
the one you once held close to you, the one whom once you deemed as true
main vahi hun 'momin'-e-mubtala tumhein yaad ho ke na yaad ho
I am that distressed Momin, blue, you may, may not recall
