DAAGH FURQAT-E-TAIBA

BY Hazrat Allama Akhtar Raza Khan

 

DAAGH FU.RQAT-E-TAIBA

QALB MUZMA HIL JAATA

KAASH GHUMBAD-E-KHAZRA

DEKHNE KO MIL JAATA

 

The spot caused by the separation of Madinah, causes my heart to shudder. Oh How I wish I could have seen the Green Dome (of the Prophet sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)

 

DUM MERA NIKAL JAATA

UNKE AASTANE PAR

UNKI AASTAANE KI

KHAAK ME ME MIL JAATA

 

My last breath should have been breathed at his Shrine. It would have allowed me to be mixed with sand of his Shrine

 

MOUT LE KE AA JAATI

ZINDAGI MADINE ME

MOUT SE GALE MIL KAR

ZINDAGI ME MIL JAATA

 

Death brings with it True Life in Madinah. I would have embraced death and be joined with true life

 

FURQAT-E-MADINA NE

WO DIYE MUJHE SUDME

KOH PAR AGAR PARTI

KOH BHI TO HIL JAATA

 

The Separation from Madinah caused me such grief (pain).

That if this grief were placed on a mountain, then even the mountain would tremble

 

DIL PE JUB KIRAN PARTI

UNKI SUBZ GHUMBAD KI

USKI SUBZ RANGAT SE

BAAGH BUN KE KHIL JAATA

 

When on my heart falls the beam from his Green Dome, Then through it’s Greenish Colour, my heart blossoms like a garden in bloom

 

DIL PE WO QADAM RAKHTE

NAQSH PAA YE DIL BANTA

YAA TO KHAAK-E-PAA BUN KAR

PAA SE MUT'TASIL JAATA

 

If he placed His Blessed foot on my heart, my heart would have become his foots impression. if not it would have become the dust under and  adjoining his blessed feet

 

UN KE DAR PE AKHTAR KI

HASRATE HUWI POORI

SAA'ILE DAR'RE AQDAS

KAISE MUNFA'IL JAATA

 

At the Court of Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), Akhtar’s yearning was fulfilled. How was if possible for the Beggar at His Court to be turned away in Shame
