Lyrics + Translation
Woh Su'ey Laalah Zaar Phirtey Hain
Tere Din Ay Bahaar Phirtey Hain
He is Coming Towards the Tulip-fields
Your Fortune, O' Spring, is About to Shine!
Jo Terey Dar Se Yaar Phirtey Hain
Dar Ba Dar Yun Hi Khaar Phirtey Hain
Those Who Turn Away From Your Gate, Beloved
Wander Aimlessly, Disgraced, From Door to Door
Aah Kal `Aysh to Kiye Hum Neaaj Woh Be Qaraar Phirtey Hain
Alas! We Spent Our Yesterdays Seeking Pleasure
and Today He is Anxious on Our Behalf!
[Note: this is A Description of Judgement Day. The Messenger Peac B Upon Him is Concerned About the Welfare of His Ummah!]
Har Charaaghe Mazaar Par Qudsee
Kaysa Parwaanah Waar Phirtey Hain
At Every Lamp Around His Tomb
Angels Do Throng Like Moths!
Us Gali Kaa Gadaa Hun Main Jis Mein
Maangtey Taajdaar Phirtey Hain
I'm A Beggar of That Alley in Which
Even Kings Wander Like Beggars!
Jaan Hain Jaan Kyaa Nazar Aaye
Kyun `Adu Gird E Ghaar Phirtey Hain
They Are As the Soul; Why Should They Be Visible?
The Enemies Wander Pointlessly Around the Cave!
[Note: An Allusion to the Incident When During the Hegira, the Prophet and Sayyidina Abu Bakr Hid in the Cave and the Pagan Arabs Searched for Them Fruitlessly Outside]
Phuul Kyaa Dekhun Meri Aankhon Mein
Dasht E Taybah Ke Khaar Phirtey Hain
How Can I Notice the Flowers? In My Eyes
Are Swimming the Thorns of Madina's Dust.
Laakhon Qudsi Hain Kaam E Khidmat Par
Laakhon Gird E Mazaar Phirtey HainCountless Angels Are There As Servants
Countless Angels Circumambulate the Tomb
Rakhiye Jaise Hain Khaana Zaad Hain Hum
Mol Ke `Ayb Daar Phirtey Hain
Accept Us However We Are, for We Are of Thy Nation
Many Such Worthy Sinners Do Wander Here!
Haay Ghaafil Woh Kyaa Jagaah Hai Jahaan
Paanch Jaatey Hain Chaar Phirtey Hain
In the Above Verses, Ghaafil is the Person Who is Lost in this World's Desires and Pleasures.
The Word 'Phirtay Hain' Actually Means 'Come Back'.
The Couplet Refers to A Janazah, Which is Carried by Four People and the Fifth One is the Deceased. The Four People Bury the Fifth and Return.
Death is Being Reminded to the Ignorants in These Verses.
Aa'lahazrat Radiallahu Anhu Call Themself 'Kuttay' in the Maqta' - Last Stanza, However, We Should Replace it with 'Shaida' - 'Aashiq, Out of Respect for Them When Reading It.
They Said this Verse in Front of the Rada-tur-rasool Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Alihi Wa Sallam Out of Their Love for Their Beloved Master and it Was Then When They Were Blessed with the Most Blessed of All Sights, the Sight of the Holy Prophet Peace B Upon Him in A State of Consciousness, Subhanallah!
Jaag Sun Saan Ban Hai Raat Aayee
Gurg Bahr E Shikaar Phirtey Hain
Awaken! Tis Quiet and Dangerous, Night Approaches
Wolves Are Circling Here on A Hunt!
Nafs Ye Koyi Chaal Hai Zaalim
Jayse Khaasey Bijaar Phirtey Hain
is this A Trick of Yours O' Ego?
As If Such Profligates Wander Around Here!
Koyi Kyun Puuche Teri Baat Razaa
Tujh Se Kuttay Hazaar Phirtey Hain
Why Should Anyone Ask About You O' Raza?
Many Dogs Like You Wander Here in this Place!
[Note: Many Blockheaded Wahabis Use this Last Verse in Which
the Peerless Imam, Our Shaykh, Imam Ah.mad Rid.a Khan, to Accuse the Imam of Disrespect Since He Uses A Metaphor and Compares Himself to A Dog. Their Idiotic Argument is That, 'How Can A Pious Person Stoop So Low That He Compares Himself to A Dog?' These Mentally Challenged People Do Not Understand Allusion, Simile Or Metaphor. It is Actually A Sign of the Imam's Extreme Humility in Front of the Noble Rawdah That He is Saying, in Effect, Ya Rasul Allah Peace B Upon Him, I Know That I Am Worthless Compared to the Many Holy People Who Come to Visit You All the Time, But Please Hear My Plea Too! So it Actually Shows the Imam's Humility.
The Icing on the Cake is That the Imam's Plea Was Answered and He Was Honoured with A Vision of His Habib Peace B Upon Him After He Had Recited this Naat.subhan Allah! After That Favour He Wrote, 'Tujhe Hamd Hai Khudaya'...
