haseena-e Khyaal se
Now-Robert Browning
حسینہٗ خیال سے ۔ فیض احمد فیض
مجھے دے دے
رسیلے ہونٹ، معصومانہ پیشانی، حسیں آ نکھیں
کہ میں اِک بار پھر رنگینیوں میں غرق ہو جاؤں
مری ہستی کو تیری اِک نظر آغوش میں لے لے
ہمیشہ کے لئے اِس دام میں محفوظ ہو جاؤں
ضیا ِ حسن سے ظلمتِ دنیا میں نہ پھر آؤں
گزشتہ حسرتوں کے داغ میرے دِل سے دُھل جا ئیں
میں آنے والے غم کی فکر سے آزاد ہو جاؤں
مرے ماضی و مستقبل سراسر محو ہو جائیں
مجھے وہ اِک نظر، اِک جاودانی سی نظر دے دے
हसीना ए ख़्याल से – फ़ैज़ अहमद फ़ैज़
मुझे दे दे
रसीले होन्ट, मासूमाना पेशानी, हसीं आँखें
के मैं एक बार फिर रंगीनिओं में ग़र्क़ हो जाओं
मेरी हस्ती को तेरी एक नज़र आग़ोश में ले ले
हमेशा के लिये इस दाम में महफ़ूज़ हो जाओं
ज़्या ए हुस्न से ज़ुल्मत ए दुनिया में ना फिर आऊं
ग़ुज़िष्ता हसरतों के दाग़ मेरे दिल से धुल जाएँ
मैं आने वाले ग़म की फ़िक्र से आज़ाद हो जाऊं
मेरे माज़ी ओ मुस्तक़बिल सरासर मह्व हो जाएँ
मुझे वो एक नज़र, एक जावेदनी सि नज़र दे दे
haseena e Khyaal se – faiz ahmed faiz

“Now” – Robert Browning
Out of your whole life give but a moment!
All of your life that has gone before,
All to come after it, — so you ignore,
So you make perfect the present, condense,
In a rapture of rage, for perfection’s endowment,
Thought and feeling and soul and sense,
Merged in a moment which gives me at last
You around me for once, you beneath me, above me —
Me, sure that, despite of time future, time past,
This tick of life-time’s one moment you love me!
How long such suspension may linger? Ah, Sweet,
The moment eternal — just that and no more —
When ecstasy’s utmost we clutch at the core,
While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut, and lips meet!
