Paroles et traduction Iqbal Bano - Mere Dil Mere Musafir

Mere Dil Mere Musafir

Mire dil, mire musāfir
Huā phir se hukm sādir
Ki vatan-badar hoñ ham tum
Deñ galī galī sadā.eñ
Kareñ ruḳh nagar nagar, kā
Ki surāġh koī paa.eñ
Kisī yār-e-nāma-bar kā
Har ik ajnabī se pūchheñ
Jo patā thā apne ghar kā
Sar-e-kū-e-nā-shanāyāñ
Hameñ din se raat karnā
Kabhī is se baat karnā
Kabhī us se baat karnā
Tumheñ kyā kahūñ ki kyā hai
Shab-e-ġham burī balā hai
Hameñ ye bhī thā ġhanīmat
Jo koī shumār hotā
Hameñ kyā burā thā marnā
Agar ek baar hotā!

My Heart, My Traveler

My heart, my traveler
The order has come again
To abandon our homeland
To call out in every street
To turn towards each city
To find the whereabouts
Of some letter-carrying friend
To ask every stranger
About the path to my home
At unknown crossroads
I must spend day and night
Sometimes talking to him
Sometimes talking to her
What can I tell you about it?
A night of sorrow is a terrible affliction
We were fortunate that
At least we could count them
What harm would it have been if we had died
If only once!
