Ishtihaar Lyrics

Ishtihaar
For the Lost Love:

Ik kudi / A girl
Jihda naam mohabbat / whose name is love
Saad muradi / simple, dainty
Sohni fabbat /a lovely sight
Gumm hai gumm hai / she is lost
Gumm hai / lost
Gumm hai / lost

Gumm hai / she is lost

Surat osdi / Her face
Parian vargi / A fairy's likeness,
Seerat di o / temper
Mariam lagdi / a picture of Mary
Hasdi hai tan / when she laughts
Phul ne jhardhey / the petals fall
Tordi hay tan / when she walks
Ghazal hai lagdi / a melody plays
Lamm salami / her graceful height
Saru kadd di / like a wicker tree

Umar ajey hai mar ke agdi / her years are still of nascence
Par naina di / but the language of eyes
Gal samajhdi / she comprehends

Gummian janam janam / she is lost from many
Han hoye / births ago
Lagda iyon jyon kal / though it seems as affair of yesterday
Di gal hai / yesterday / why, it seems an affair of today
Iyon lagdai jion ajj di gal hai / why, it seems this
Iyon lagdai jion hun / moments affair
Di gal hai hune taan mere kol kharhi si / just now she stood by my side
Hune tan mere kol nahi hai / and now she has vanished
Ai keha chhal kehi bhatkan / what trick what chase is this
Soch meri hairaan barri hai / my senses, they're mystified
Os kudi nu tol rahi hai / searching for that girl

Oss kudi nu meri saunh hai / I call out to that girl in my name
Os kudi nu apni saunh hai / I call out to that girl in my name
Os kudi nu sab di saunh hai / I call out to that girl in my name
Os kudi nu rab di saunh hai / I call out to that girl in my name

Jey kittey parhdi sunhdi hove / if she reads or hears this
Jeyundi jan o mar rahi hovey / if she be alive or dying
Ik vari aa ke mil javey / come and meet me once
Vafa meri nu daag na laavey / do not sully my devotion

Nahi tan maithon jia na janda / lest I can't live
Geet koi likhia na janda nor write a word
Nahi tan maithon jia na janda / lest I can't live
Geet koi likhia na janda / nor write a word
Nahi tan maithon jia na janda / lest I can't live
