What Do I Tell Him, He Understands Nothing, A Urdu Ghazal By Fatima Hasan In English Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

What Do I Tell Him, He Understands Nothing, A Urdu Ghazal By Fatima Hasan In English Translation



What do I tell him, he understands nothing
When I see him, he says it is not a meeting

I have seen my dreams with wide open eyes
I dream a night with him, he says what does it mean

I lost and told him he was not a winner
I lost my bet, he doesn't understand it

The breeze at night must have kept him awake
Why could he not sleep, he doesn't understand it

He knows only ghazals and poetry
Of love and romance, he knows nothing

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
kya kahun us se ki jo baat samajhta hi nahin
FATIMA HASAN

kyā kahūñ us se ki jo baat samajhtā hī nahīñ
vo to milne ko mulāqāt samajhtā hī nahīñ

ham ne dekhā hai faqat ḳhvāb khulī āñkhoñ se
ḳhvāb thī vasl kī vo raat samajhtā hī nahīñ

maiñ ne pahuñchāyā use jiit ke har ḳhāne meñ
merī baazī thī mirī maat samajhtā hī nahīñ

raat purvā.ī ne us ko bhī jagāyā hogā
raat kyuuñ kaT na sakī raat samajhtā hī nahīñ

shā.erī kā koī andāz samajhtā hai inheñ
vo mohabbat kī rivāyāt samajhtā hī nahīñ
