Hey friends,
I know I never posted anything here in Urdu, but having been inspired by Tears and Rain with her post, I am urged to post the lyrics to a song I have been listening to a lot for the last one week. It's a sad and haunting song, yet full of hope. I am not going to translate it because the effect of the lyrics is lost in the translation. It's a song by Atif Aslam, from his first album.
Aaj dil dukha hai
Tum yaad aaye
Anjane log hein
Apne kahan dhoond paaein
jaagey hein soye nahi
aisi hai meri ye bechaini
din bhi wohi raatein wohi
sanso mein sansein hein nahi
shaamein ab dhalti nahi
anchal jo tera simat jaaye
aap yahan hamesha rahein
duuri rahe na ho fasle
jaagey hein soye nahi
aisi hai meri ye bechaini
din bhi wohi raatein wohi
sanso mein sansein hein nahi
ab ager tum mile to
itna ye yaqeen hai
hans deinge hum to
roona nahi hai

I have seen a copule of Hindu movies, unfortunately cannot understand the song...
Hi Mansur,
Just visiting your blog...
awww...that sounds beautiful and sad...i have never head any songs by atif, it's hard to find pakistani songs out here, hindi is easy. i'll have to track it down on the web!
i am sorry for not translating the song because if i do translate i will mess the whole impact of the song and lose its true beauty. pheadrus, i am sure you and download the song. it may be a sad song, but it's a very hopeful one too, towards the end. :-)

Hi Mansur! :)
Could you please translate the last 4 lines for me?
"ab ager tum mile to
itna ye yaqeen hai
hans deinge hum to
roona nahi hai"
Thank you very much!
If I meet you today and now,
I will realize this for sure,
That I will laugh for sure,
And I will stop crying over you.
Mansur
