Paroles et traduction Ghulam Ali - Har Ek Baat Pe

Har Ek Baat Pe

Har ek baat pe kahte ho tum ki tū kyā hai
Tumhīñ kaho ki ye andāz-e-guftugū kyā hai
Na sho.ale meñ ye karishma na barq meñ ye adā
Koī batāo ki vo shoḳh-e-tund-ḳhū kyā hai
Ye
Rashk hai ki vo hotā hai ham-suḳhan tum se
Vagarna ḳhauf-e-bad-āmozi-e-adū kyā hai
Chipak rahā hai badan par lahū se pairāhan
Hamāre jaib ko ab hājat-e-rafū kyā hai
Jalā hai jism jahāñ dil bhī jal gayā hogā
Kuredte ho jo ab raakh justujū kyā hai
Ragoñ meñ dauḌte phirne ke ham nahīñ qaa.il
Jab aañkh hī se na Tapkā to phir lahū kyā hai
Vo chiiz jis ke liye ham ko ho bahisht aziiz
Sivā.e bāda-e-gulfām-e-mushk-bū kyā hai
Piyūñ sharāb agar ḳhum bhī dekh luuñ do-chār
Ye shīsha o qadah o kuuza o subū kyā hai
Rahī na tāqat-e-guftār aur agar ho bhī
To kis umiid pe kahiye ki aarzū kyā hai
Huā hai shah kā musāhib phire hai itrātā
Vagarna shahr meñ ′ġhālib' kī aabrū kyā hai

Har Ek Baat Pe

Every time you say, who are you to me
You tell me, what is this style of speaking
Neither this charisma in the flame nor this grace in the lightning
Someone tell me, who is that sassy, ill-tempered
This
Is it envy that he talks to you
Otherwise, what is the fear of learning bad habits from the enemy
The shirt is stuck to the body with blood
What need do I have now to mend my pocket
The body is burnt, the heart must have burnt too
What use is searching when you're just stirring ashes
I don't believe in running around in the veins
When nothing drips from the eyes, what use is blood
That thing for which I consider paradise dear
Except for the musk-scented, rose-colored wine, what is it
I'll drink wine, and if I see a pitcher or two
What use are these glasses, cups, jugs, and flagons
I have no strength to speak, and even if I did
What hope is there in saying, what is the desire
The king's companion struts around perfumed
Otherwise, what is 'Ghalib's' reputation in the city
