Bujhi Huyie Shama Ka Dhooan - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Übersetzung ins Englische

Bujhi Huyie Shama Ka Dhooan

Raat yun dil mein teri khoyi hui yaad aayi
Jaise veerane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaye

Jaise sehraon mein haule se chale baad e naseem
Jaise beemaar ko bewajah karaar aa jaaye

Kitne badal gaye hain woh halaat ki tarah
Jab bhi mile hain pehli mulakaat ki tarah

Teri jafa kahun ke inayat kahoon isse
Gham bhi mila mujhe kisi saugaat ki tarah

Dil mein ghamon ki aag bhadakne lagi to hum
Roye hain phoot phoot ke barsaat ki tarah

Hum kya kisi ke husn ka sadka utaarte
Ik zindagi mili hai wo khairaat ki tarah

Bujhi hui shama ka dhuan hoon
Aur apne markaz ko ja raha hoon

Ke dil ki hasrat mit chuki hai
Ab apni hasti mita raha hoon

Teri hi surat ke dekhne ko
Buton ki tasveeren la raha hoon

Ke khoobiyan sabki jama karke
Tera tasawwur jama raha hoon

Kafan mein khud ko chhupa liya hai
Ke tujh ko parde ki ho na zehmat

Naqaab apne liye banakar
Hijaab tera utha raha hoon

Udhar wo ghar se nikal pade hain
Idhar mera dam nikal raha hai

Ilahi kaisi hai ye qayamat
Wo aa rahe hain main ja raha hoon

Muhabbat insaan ki hai fitrat
Kahaan hai ibkan e tark e ulfat

Wo aur bhi yaad aa rahe hain
Main unko jitna bhula raha hoon

Roz kehta hoon bhool jaun unhein
Roz ye baat bhool jata hoon main

Nahin aati to unki yaad barson tak nahin aati
Lekin jab yaad aate hain to aksar yaad aate hain

Zubaan pe labdaik har nafas mein
Jabeen pe sajda hai har kadam pe

Yun ja raha butkade ko naatik
Ke jaise kaabe ko ja raha hoon

The Smoke of an Extinguished Candle

The memory of you came to me last night
Like spring arriving silently in a deserted wasteland

Like a gentle breeze blowing through the desert
Like an unexpected sense of peace for the sick

How much things have changed, like the changing seasons
Yet, whenever we meet, it feels like the first time

Should I call it your cruelty or your kindness?
Even sorrow feels like a gift from you

When the fire of sorrow burns within my heart
I weep uncontrollably like the heavy rain

How can I bow down to anyone's beauty?
I have only one life, and it's like a gift of charity

I am the smoke of an extinguished candle
And I am returning to my origin

For my heart's desire has been extinguished
And now I am fading into nothingness

To gaze upon your face
I bring portraits of idols

Combining the beauty of each
I envision you in my mind

I have hidden myself in a shroud
So that you may not be troubled by my presence

Forging a mask for myself
I unveil your modesty

You have just left your home
And here I am, on my last breath

O God, what a strange fate
You are coming, while I am departing

Love is the nature of man
Where is the one who renounces love?

I think of you even more
The more I try to forget you

Every day, I tell myself to forget you
Every day, I forget even that

Your memory does not visit me for years
But when it does, it haunts me constantly

"La ilaha illallah" on my lips with every breath
"Sajda" on my forehead with every step

Thus, I proceed to the temple
As if I were going to the Kaaba
