Asslamoalekum and hello to my #hiveopenmicmusic community. This is my second entry into this community. Week 216 has begun and the theme of this week is Pop Ballad. I am trying to sing a famous and old Pakistani Urdu Ghazal. It was originally composed by Sohail Rana and the lyrics of the song were written by Fayyaz Hashmi. This Urdu ghazal was originally sung by Habib Wali Muhammad.
The lyrics of the song are quite soul-touching.
Aaj Janey ki Zid na kro
Younhi Pehloo main bethey raho
Aaj jane ki zid na kro
Haye mar jaen ge ham to lut jaen ge
aesi baatain kya na kro
Aaj janey ki zid na kro
Tumhi socho zara kyun na roken tumhain
jaan jaati hey jab uth key jaatey ho tum
Tum ko apni qasam janey jaan
baat meri zara maan lo
aaj janey ki zid na kro
Kitna masoom rangeen hey ye saman
Husan aur ishq ki aaj mairaaj heyKal ki kis ko khabar jaaney jaan
Rok lo aaj ki raat ko
Aaj janey ki zid na kro
Waqt ki qaid main zindagi hey magar
Chand gharian yahi hain jo azaad hain
Inko kho kar meri janey jaan
Umar bhar na trastey raho
Aaj janey ki zid na kro
younhi pehlo main bethey raho
Here is an English translation of "Aaj Janey Ki Zid na Karo"
Don't insist on leaving today
Stay by my side, just for a while
Oh, we'll die, and our love will be lost
Don't say such things, my love
You're the one who should think, why don't you stop?
Your life is slipping away, moment by moment
I swear on my life, my love, just listen to me
Don't waste your life, my love, in sorrow
Life is trapped in time, but there are a few moments
That are free, don't let them slip away, my love
Don't spend your life in sorrow, my love
How innocent and beautiful is this evening
Today, beauty and love are at their peak
Who knows what tomorrow will bring, my love?
Stop this night from passing, my love
Don't insist on leaving today
Stay by my side, just for a while
Oh, we'll die, and our love will be lost
Don't say such things, my love
You're the one who should think, why don't you stop?
Your life is slipping away, moment by moment
I swear on my life, my love, just listen to me
Don't waste your life, my love, in sorrow
Life is trapped in time, but there are a few moments
That are free, don't let them slip away, my love
Don't spend your life in sorrow, my love
Don't insist on leaving today
Oh, we'll die, and our love will be lost
Don't say such things, my love
Don't insist on leaving today
How innocent and beautiful is this evening
Today, beauty and love are at their peak
Who knows what tomorrow will bring, my love?
Stop this night from passing, my love
The lyrics are written in Urdu and translated into English using a translator.
