I Shall Wake (Main Jagoon Ga) Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Tum baithi raho main jata hoon,
Do lamhon mein wapas aata hoon,
Wuh door pahari ke neeche,
Us oonche per ke kutch peeche,
Ek phool dikhai deta hay,
Ek geet sunai deta hay,
Wuh geet main sunkar aata hoon,
Wuh phool main lekar aata hoon,
Joore mein tumhare tankoon ga,
Mazi mein zara sa jhankoon ga,
Main boorha sahi per bhagoon ga,
Tum chaho to rat mein jagoon ga.

Independent Translation

You just sit here I am coming back right now,
I shall take only two minutes, I don't know how,
But below that distant hill I see a flower,
I listen to the song of a mild cold shower,
I want to listen to that song of love,
See nature has disguised herself in a dove,
I shall bring that pinkish flower for hairs,
Don't stop, I know there are no stairs,
Yes I am weak I know I am old,
You know it well I am still gold,
I want to go back in my lovely past,
I shall bring that flower you'll see at last,
If you wish I shall wake for the whole wet night,
I can run, I can love, my eyes, still bright.
