Hafiz: Awake, Awhile In Hindi/Urdu Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

utho ek lemhay k liyay
ek lemhay k liyay utho
hamesha k liyay nahin
siraf ek lehmay k liyay

aasmaan k komal ghagray par
ek kadam hi kaafi ho ga

hafiz,
utho ek lehmay k liyay
pyaar ka ek lehma
dinoN tak chalta rahay ga

us ko jaan-nay k liyay
saari jatil yojna-aiN aur yuktioN ko choD do
kyoN k ye sub bahaar ki jamee hui kaliaaN hain
garmi ki sunheri divya sonay se baDi door hain

jamma hua hai dil tera
prakash, pyaar, utha do isay, mere pyaaray
le jaoo isay roshni k khetaoN main
saans lainay do isay araam se

kaho,
"pyaar, de do muje mere paankh
uDa lo muje
le aao apnay paas."

kaho akash ko, chaand ko
kaho apnay dost ko,
main le chalooN ga tumain bulandi par,
jis naach ka tum ne waahda kiya tha
us ko naachtay huay.

Hafiz: Awake Awhile

awake, sunrise, forever
Awake awhile.
It does not have to be
Forever,
Right now.

One step upon the Sky's soft skirt
Would be enough.

Hafiz,
Awake awhile.
Just one True moment of Love
Will last for days.

Rest all your elaborate plans and tactics
For Knowing Him,
For they are all just frozen spring buds
Far,
So far from Summer's Divine Gold.

frozen heart, light, love
Awake, my dear.
Be kind to your sleeping heart.
Take it out into the vast fields of Light
And let it breathe.

Say,
"Love,
Give me back my wings.
Lift me,
Lift me nearer."

Say to the sun and moon,
Say to our dear Friend,
"I will take You up now, Beloved,
On that wonderful Dance You promised! "

~ Hafiz
