Zaahid ne..

 

An attempt to translate 

Abida Parveen's rendition of Asghar

Gondvi’s “Zaahid ne..”

A radiance of His halo divine,

In a veiled superfluous vasts

Alas The earth has forgotten 

Thy spiritual shine

Zaahid, He who claims His devout

The epitome of faith he knows not

Not even the brunette curls 

Could meander me from my path

Any connoisseur would behold

The endurance in such eternal charm

Soulful innocence endowed 

With depths are unfathomably unknown

Struggled to ward off lures and tempts

Even the wants of diamonds and immortal gains

My tales of strength and passion are folklore

To my faith i renounced all riches and dreams galore

Saiyaan..

Saiyaan..

Translation of Saiyaan, a song by Kailash Kher

No desire of gems and pearls

But crave for you and your love

I am all yours, and you are mine

Want to get lost in you and your love divine

The nights and days now sing in harmony

Swimming in deep sea of the melody

You are the victory, and i find myself lost in Joy!

Can bestow my life just stand by my side

Staring at you, in awe and admiration

Weaving beads of our love into a garland!

Our love-boat am sure will ferry us out 

Of any flood of worldly miseries that surround

A gentle affection thats been growing everyday

From the moment your eyes first said you will love me always

Crazy in love i am

All new perspective i behold

The new ceremonial bride, 

Devoted to her love, her blessed pride
