Paroles et traduction Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Jewel

Jewel

Lakahan eidan naalon changa sanu ik deedar kise da
Ohnu saddi kadar ki howe jehra nahi bemaar kise da

Sadde dil da haal oh jaane jehnu howe pyar kise da
Sajna ro ro mangan duawan shaala vichre na yaar kise da

Yaadan vichre sajan diyan aayiyan ankhiyan ch mee wasda
Shaala muk jaan jag ton judayiyaan ankhiyan ch mee wasda

Kise da yaar na pardes jaawe
Vichchora na kise de pesh aawe

Shaala yaar naraaz na theeve j
Ag rusda bhavein rus jaawe
Meri yaar walon reh jaawe

Jag deyan ruseyan kujh nayi khusna
Maar janda e yaar da rusna

Shaala yaar naraaz na theeve mangan har dum eho duhayi
Na ankhiyan to ohle howe na dewe hijr sadayi

Unchiyan lambiyan sabz khajuran
Patar jehnan de saawe
Jis dam naal asaanj hau sadi
Saanu oh dam nazar na aawe
Galiyan sunj ujaar dissan
Sanu vehra kaam na aawe
Yaar fareed uthe ki wasna
Jithe yaar nazar na aawe

Vichar gaya sajna diyan tangan
Mere alre zakham jagawe
Pal palak pardesiyan karan
Meri ankhiyan ne saawan laaye
Allah jaane kayiyan pheran payiyan
Lang saal gaye nayi aaye
Yaar fareed aabaad theevan eh jhoka
Rabb pher vi raan wasave

Loki panj vele sanu har vele
Yaadan aayiyan

Mera lut leya chain vichore ne
Ankhan ro ro neer bahaundiyan ne
Loki yaad khuda nu karde ne
Sanu yaadan terian aundiyan ne

Dukh es gal da yaad rus challi e rus jaan waleya hayaati rus chali e
Saahwan aakhiri vi tere naawe laayiyan ankhiyan ch mee wasda

Jewel

A glance of you is better than hundreds of thousands of treasures
Be so considerate of me—who else but you understands my pain?

Only the one who loves understands my heartfelt condition
I pray with my eyes filled with tears that my beloved will never become estranged from me

Thoughts of my absent beloved bring tears to my eyes
May I die before I am separated from you—my eyes overflow with tears

May no one’s beloved go to a foreign land
May no one ever experience separation

May my beloved never be angry with me
Or if you must be angry, be angry with me
But remain my friend

There is no pleasure in worldly pleasures
Separation from you, my love, is killing me

May my beloved never be angry with me, I pray constantly
May my eyes never become weary nor call out to you in separation

The tall, slender green palm trees
Whose leaves are green
The moment dusk falls for us
May that moment not appear to me
The streets appear deserted and empty
They are of no use to me
Yaar Farid, where is that frenzy
When my beloved does not appear to me

The thought of my beloved’s hands
Makes my wounds ache
Moments turn into ages in longing for my beloved
My eyes have brought forth the rainy season
Only God knows how many rounds I have made
Many years have passed, but he has not returned
Yaar Farid, this breeze would be a blessing
May God make my love’s caravan return

People remember God five times a day, we remember Him every hour
Memories of you

Separation has robbed me of my peace
My eyes weep and shed tears
People remember God, but
Memories of you haunt me

The pain of this separation has gone to my head and my life has become unbearable
Even in my last breath, I will utter your name—my eyes overflow with tears
