The Moon And The Stars Today Did Not Come Out, A Urdu Ghazal By Rajendra Nath Rahbar In English Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra
The Moon And The Stars Today Did Not Come Out, A Urdu Ghazal By Rajendra Nath Rahbar In English Translation
The moon and the stars today did not come out
Those who helped me at nights did not come out
Some man without a gun called me out yesterday
Aftraid of him at my door, I did not come out
Stay here for a while for a little more chit-chat
The desires of my heart are still in their hideout
You tell us openly the beautiful women you desire
How you see them in dreams, that secret isn't yet out
When did the lovers not lose their bets on love?
When was it the lovers did not lose out and out?
I had so much faith in them in the past
They were the ones who cheated me out
'Rahbar's' book of couplets does mean something
It is not just the words that bring the truth out
mahtāb nahīñ niklā sitāre nahīñ nikle
dete jo shab-e-ġham meñ sahāre nahīñ nikle
kal raat nihattā koī detā thā sadā.eñ
ham ghar se magar ḳhauf ke maare nahīñ nikle
kyā chhoḌ ke bastī ko gayā tū ki tire ba.ad
phir ghar se tire hijr ke maare nahīñ nikle
baiThe raho kuchh der abhī aur muqābil
armān abhī dil ke hamāre nahīñ nikle
niklī to haiñ saj-dhaj ke tirī yaad kī pariyāñ
ḳhvāboñ ke magar raaj dulāre nahīñ nikle
kab ahl-e-vafā jaan kī baazī nahīñ haare
kab ishq meñ jānoñ ke ḳhasāre nahīñ nikle
andāz koī Dūbne ke sīkhe to ham se
ham Duub ke dariyā ke kināre nahīñ nikle
vo log ki the jin pe bharose hameñ kyā kyā
dekhā to vahī log hamāre nahīñ nikle
ash.ār meñ daftar hai ma.ānī kā bhī 'rahbar'
ham lafzoñ hī ke mahz sahāre nahīñ nikle
-Rajendra Nath Rahbar
