کر لے دل دی صفائی جے دیدار چاہیدا

تو جہان توں کی لینا، تینوں یار چاہیدا

Kar lay dil di safai jay Deedaar chahida

Tu jahaan toN ki lena,tenu Yaar chahida!

لوڑ ہے تیری نہ تیرے کم دی

نیت باجھ نماز کس کم دی؟


Tere hundiya sundya mehbooba tera mujrim haa je mein hova 
Tere hundiya sundya mehbooba tera mujrim haa je mein hova 

sab zaat safat amanat teri nahi kuch mera sab tera 
mein te jadun da vich quran de parya tera shahrag de vich dheera 
har pase sohne yaar da chehra mein te veekhya char chafeera 
jadyaar da sab kuj yaar deewane fir mein vich kuj nai mera

Tere hundiya sundya mehbooba tera mujrim haa je mein hova 
So teri sohniya tu hi eh hovay shirk ayan je mein hova 
Kiddhe awal nai mein akhir nahi ,kidhe batan nai mein zahir nai 
har pase sohniya dina tu dise mera nishan je mein hova 

Sohna sare jahan tu yaar mera,Ohno deen akha ke emaan akha
Ohdi zid na nid na misl kidre,Benishan akha ke nishan akha 
Sorat vich zahir batin besurat ,lamakan akha ke makahan akha
Akha rooh ,misaal ke jism akha ya deewanya kamil insan akha 

Eh khuda ghulzar tu ,bhaag o bahar o ban vi tu
Har jaga roshan vi tu soraj vi tu te chan vi tu
Sari kainaat da fankaar tu ,te fun vi tu
Tu hi tu eh sohniya har tan vi tu te maann vi tu

har pase sohniya disna tu dise mera nishan je mein hova 
Kuj nai har cheez jogi kuj nahi eh khuda tere siwa bas hoor doja kuj nai

Nehaan vi tu ,aya vi tu nasheen vi tu nishan vi tu 
Sahib e la-makan vi tu ,makeen vi tu makan vi tu 
Raaz tu ,nayaz tu, ghaib tu, mojood vi tu 
Dhair tu ,haram vi tu abad vi tu te mabood vi tu

Gham us jayi faza de vich kul di ik sada vi tu
Aap « fayakoon »tu ,Banda vi tu khuda bi
Dar khashr da rakhye dil vich kuon jad mein hi nahi fir dar kahda ?
Un had ddi te had disdi nahi ,had lagdi ta je mein hovaa

Jis dawa kitta mein wala oh pal vich hun iblees gya
Ohne yaar nu vakhrya samjya si mein ki samja je mein hova ?
Kadhi ganj shakar ban jana eh ,kadhi khuwaja piya ban ana eh 
Nit naye tu roop watana eh , mein pharya ja je mein hova 

Jithe hai ikko zaat haq di eh ,meri zaat koi nai te safat koi nai
Wallah khaak numani ne bholna ki ,bina yaar bhole hondi baat koi nai
Baqi yaar mera mein te haan faani ,meri hoor is tu karamat koi nai
Tenu fir deewanya ki d sa meri sift ki eh jidhi zaat koi nai

Aye Tabib-e-Jumla Illat Haye Maa!

When inward tenderness finds the secret hurt,

pain itself will crack the rock and Ah!!!

let the SOUL emerge.

- Rumi

In Kay Darmiyaan Kia Hai?

Shehar ke dukandaro! Karobaar-e-ulfat mein sood kya ziaan kya hai, tum na jaan pao gay

Dil ke daam kitne hain, khuwab kitne mehnge hain, aur naqd-e-jaan kya hai, tum na jaan pao gay

Sheher ke dukandaro, sheher ke dukandaro

Koi kaisay milta hai, phool kaisay khilta hai, aankh kaisay jhukti hai, saans kaisay rukti hai
Kaisay reh nikalti hai, kaisay baatein chalti hain, shouq ki zabaan kya hai, tum na jaan pao gay

Sheher ke dukandaro, sheher ke dukandaro

Wasl ka sukoon kya hai, hijr ka junoon kya hai, husn ka fusoon kya hai, ishq ka daroon kya hai

Tum mareez-e-danai maslihat ke shaydai raah-e-gumrahan kya hai, tum na jaan pao gay

Sheher ke dukandaro, sheher ke dukandaro

Zakhm kaisay phaltay hain, daagh kaisay jaltay hain, dard kaisay hota hai, koi kaisay rota hai

Ashq kya hai naalay kya, dasht kya hai chaalay kya, aah kya fughaan kya hai, tum na jaan pao gay

Sheher ke dukandaro, sheher ke dukandaro

Namuraad dil kaisay subah shaam kartay hain, kaisay zinda rehtay hain, aur kaisay martay hain

Tum ko kab nazar aayi ghamzadoon ki tanhaee, zeest be-amaan kya hai, tum na jaan pao gay

Sheher ke dukandaro, sheher ke dukandaro

Janta hoon mein tum ko zouq-e-shaiyri bhi hai, shaksiyat sajaanay mein ik yeh mahiri bhi hai

Phir bhi harf buntay ho, sirf lafz suntay ho, in ke darmiyaan kya hai, tum na jaan pao gay

Sheher ke dukandaro, sheher ke dukandaro!

Haunting. Haunted!

Ni sayyo asaan naina day aakhay laggay

Jinna hoyan paak nigawan

O kadi na janday thaggay

Ni sayyo asaan……

Kalay pat na charhay safaidi

Kaag na theenday baggay

Shah Husain shahadat paeen

Jo marain mitran day aggay

Ni sayyo aseen naina….

The following lyrics have been penned by Fana Buland Sheri, the wand behind many of the NFAK's incurable spells.

Aag daman mein lag ja'ey ga
Dil mein shola machal ja'ey ga

Mera saagar na choona kabhi, saathiya haath jal ja'ey ga
Mere ashq bhi hain is mein, yeh sharaab ubal na ja'ey
Mera jaam choonay walay, tera haath jal na ja'ey

Aik din woh zaroor aa'en gay, dard ka saya tal ja'ey ga

Is zamanay ki parwa nahi, yeh zamana badal ja'ey ga

Aa gaya mera aankhon mein dam, ab jo jalwa dikha dijiay
Aap ki baat reh ja'ey gi, mera armaan nikal ja'ey ga

Besabab hum say rootho na tum, Yeh larai buri cheez hai
Yeh ada hai ya dil ka jalana, hum manatay hein tum roothtay ho
Hum jo roothay tou pachhtao gay tum, roaz tum ko manana paray ga

Milna hai jo ghairoon say tou phir saaf he keh do, 

Yoon rooth kay janay ka bahana nahi acha
Besabab hum say rootho na tum, yeh larai buri cheez hai
Sulah kar lo Khuda kay liyeah, yeh bura waqt tal ja'ey ga

Mai-kasho uss nazar ki suno, keh rahi hai wo shola badan
Mein nahi jaam mein aag hai jo pi'ay ga woh jal ja'ey ga

Koi aanso nahi aankh mein baat ghar ki abhi ghar mein hai
Tum jo yoon he satatay rahay dard aashiqoon mein dhal ja'ey ga

Duur hain jab talak tum say hum kaisay hoga mudawa e gham
Aik dafa tum milo tou sanam gham khushi mein badal ja'ey ga

Gar yoon hi ghar mein baithay raha maar daalay gi tanhaiyaan
Chal zara mai-kaday mein chalein ay Fanaa, dil behal ja'ey ga

Manam Mehv-e Khayal

The original kalam of Bu Ali Shah Qalandar (1209- 1324) uses the word "jamal-e oo" instead of "khayal-e oo"

منم محوِ خیال او نمی دانم کُجا رفتم
شُدم غرقِ وصال او  نمی دانم کُجا رفتم

In the thoughts of my Love, I've sunk
Knoweth not I, where I go
In the embrace of my Love I drowned
I lost all clue, where I go!

غلامِ روئے او بودم اسیر روئے او بودم
غبارِ کوئے او بودم نمی دانم کُجا رفتم

Surrendered to a glimpse of Thee O' Love
Caught within those long tresses am I

Turned to dust in Thy path, swirl I
Oh, but knoweth not I, where I go!

بہ عام آشنا گشم زجان و دل فدا گشتم
فنا گشتم فنا گشتم نمی دانم کُجا رفتم

Thee is who they know of, when know of wandering I
Lost my heart and soul to Thou, now wander I
Perished into this wandering... ruined am I
Yet, where do I stray, can not see I

قلندر بو علی ہستم بنام دوست سر مستم
دل اندر عشق او بستم  نمی دانم کُجا رفتم

Bu Ali Qalandar - Ecstatic at the mention of the Beloved

Existing over the intoxication of love
Knoweth not I ... where I go!

Eh Sochan

Mori Bhi Rung Do Chunariya.....!

وہ ازل سے فقير جو مقامِ گدائی نہ جيت پائے

يہ وسعتِ زيست کس قدر بيکار مسافت ہو جائے

ہو جتنا اک مفلس کا مکاں، جب کاسۂ دل خالی ہو جائے

خودی کے شيش محل کا اسير، گيان و گمان ہو جائے

تمام عمر کی رياضت جب اک کارِ زياں ہو جائے

مانگنے کو ہاتھ اٹھأيں اور صوت بے بياں ہو جائے

جھولی پھيلأيں اور دامن صرف چھيد رہ جائے

اندر جو بستا ہو روہی، اشک کہاں سے آئے

کيا ستم ہو کہ سوالی خود بھی ديکھ پائے

نفس کی وہ ہر سياہی جو ہر دعا کو نگل جائے

Wo azl say faqeer, jo muqaam-e-gadaee na jeet paey, 

ye wussat-e-zeest kis qadar bekar musafat ho jaey....

ho jitna ik muflis ka makaan, jab kasaa-e-dil khali ho jaey .....

khudi kay sheesh mehal ka aseer, gayyaan-o-gumaan ho jaey....

tamaam umr ki ryazat, jab ik kaar-e-zayyan ho jaey ....

maangnay ko haath uthain, aur soat bay-bayan ho jaey.... 

jholi phailaen aur daman sirf chhaid reh jaey...

ander jo basta ho roohi, ashk kahan say aaey...

kia sitam ho kay sawali khud bhi daikh paey...

nafs ki wo sab siyahi, jo har dua ko nigal jaey....

Just some random blabbering! Has nothing to the do with the great kalam shared in the clips underneath, except for the sense of ...."mori bhi rung do chunariya..."

Nami Danam

Nami danam chi manzil bood shab jaay ki man boodam;

Baharsu raqs-e bismil bood shab jaay ki man boodam.

Pari paikar nigaar-e sarw qadde laala rukhsare;

Sarapa aafat-e dil bood shab jaay ki man boodam.

Khuda khud meer-e majlis bood andar laamakan Khusrau;
Muhammad shamm-e mehfil bood shab jaey ki man boodam.

I wonder what was the place where I was last night,
All around me were half-slaughtered victims of love, tossing about in agony.
There was a nymph-like beloved with cypress-like form and tulip-like face,
Ruthlessly playing havoc with the hearts of the lovers.
God himself was the master of ceremonies in that heavenly court,
oh Khusro, where (the face of) the Prophet too was shedding light like a candle. 

Khusro.
(trans. S.A.H.Abidi)

Ghungat Chuk Le Sajna

Ghungat Chuk O Sajna Sajna
Let the veil drop O Love, my Love

Ghungat Chuk O Sajna Sajna, Je Hun Sharmaan Kahnun Rakhiyyan Way
Lift that veil of Thee O Love, my Love

For why now would You shy away!

Ghungat Chuk Le Sajna Sajna

Ghungat Chuk Hun Sajna
Let the veil drop O Love, my Love

Drop that veil of Thee now my Love

Aj Muk Jaan Hasrataan Deed Diyan

Let the yearnings of the sight be quenched today

Tu Kund Nu Utha Ke Betha Reh

Keeping behind that wall of separation

Saadi Jaan Jandi Ey Te Payi Jaway

And here my life flutters away

Tu Zulf Saja Ke Betha Reh Sajna

While you adorn your locks O love

Ghungat Chuk Hun Sajna

Lift that veil now O Love

Hoiyaan Mudattan Namaazan Netian Nu

Spent ages await with intentions of prayers,

Per Sajda Karan Nu Tars Gaya

Yet stand there and long to bow

Qaza Hoiyaan Namaazan Ada Houn

Let me offer the missed prayers

Sade Samne A Ker Betha Reh Sajna

Keep me witness Your presence O Love!

Ghungat Chuk Hun Sajna

Lift that veil O Love!

Ghungat Chuk Hun Sajna Sajna
Let that veil drop O Love, my Love

Ghungat Chuk Hun Sajna, Je Hun Sharmaan Kahnun Rakhiyyan Way

Lift that veil now my Love

For why now would You shy away!

Zulf Kundal Nai Ghaira Paya
The curl of your locks locked me in

Bishyar Ho Ke Dang Chalaya

Like a scorpion it stung me

Waikh Azawal Dard Na Aaya

And see! how I squirmed naught

Kar Ke Khooni Akhiyaan Way

Though my eyes are a pool of blood!

Ghungat Chuk Le Sajna, Je Hun Sharmaan Kahnun Rakhiyyan Way

Lift that veil of Thee O Love, my Love

For why now would You shy away!

Do Nainaan Da Teer Chalaya
Struck a spear with Thine gaze

Mein Aajiz Day Seenay Laya

How it pierced through my frail heart!

Ghayal Ker Ke Mukh Chupaya

Stabbed me and hid that lovely look

Choriyan Eh Kin Dasyaan Way
From where hast Thou learnt to covert like this!

Ghungat Chuk Le Sajna, Je Hun Sharmaan Kahnun Rakhiyyan Way

Lift that veil of Thee O Love, my Love

For why now would You shy away!

Binhoon Katari Kas Ke Maari
Stabbed with the dagger of separation 

Tad Mein Hoyi Bay Dil Bhaari

So left me distressed, dishearted

Mur Na Lai Teen Saar Hamari

Turned again Thou naught to ask of me

Baataan Taireyaan Kachiyaan Way

So empty were those words of You!

Ghungat Chuk Le Sajna, Je Hun Sharmaan Kahnun Rakhiyyan Way

Lift that veil of Thee O Love, my Love

For why now would You shy away!

Neooh Laga Ke Mun Har Leta

Looked into the eyes, and stole my heart

Phair Na Apna Darshan Deta
And then didnt grant a glimpse

Zehr Piyala Mein Aeh Peta
It is I who swallowed the bitter poison

Aqloon Si Mein Kachiyaa Way
Wasn't I so naive to fall a prey!

Ghungat Chuk Le Sajna, Je Hun Sharmaan Kahnun Rakhiyyan Way

Lift that veil of Thee O Love, my Love

For why now would You shy away!

Shaah Inayat Mukj Na Bola
The Shah Inayat didn't complain a word

Surat Teri Har Dil Tola

A reflection of You, each heart desires

Sabut Ho Ke Phair Kyun Dhola
How could it keep whole then?

Aj Kaloon Mein Sachiyaan Way
Today I shall make bold to ask

Ghungat Chuk Le Sajna, Je Hun Sharmaan Kahnun Rakhiyyan Way

Remove that veil of Thee O Love, 

What is left to be shy of now!

Sharabay Showq Menosham

Na man behooda girde kocha
Wa bazaar megardam


Mazaj-e-ashiqee daram paye
dildar megardam


Khudaya rahm kon bar man
Pareeshan waar megardam


Khata karam gonahgaram
Ba hale zaar megardam


Sharabe showq menosham
Ba girde yaar megardam


Sukhan mastana megoyam
Walay hooshyaar megardam


Gahe khandam, gahe giryam, 
gahe aftam, gahe khezam,


Maseeha dar’dilam paida 
vaman beemar mi gardam.


Biya jana inayat kun wa maulana e Rumi ra,
Gulame Shams Tabrezam qalandar waar mi gardam

Translation:

No I am not roaming aimlessly
around the streets and bazaar
I am a lover searching for his beloved

God have mercy on me
I am walking around troubled

I have done wrong and sinned
and am walking around wounded

I have drunk the wine of desire
and am strolling around beloved

Though I may seem drunk
I am quite sober

Laughing at times, crying at times, 
falling at times, rising at times,

The savior is at the doorstep of my heart, 
yet like a sick man I wander.

O Beloved! Come and help your Maulana Rumi
I am a slave of Shams Tabrizi, enraptured I wander.
