# 2 - Heart Attack


Pain was so severe that night, savage heart
wanted to confront each vein
diaphoresed from each sweat gland

(my heart was)
Like far at your patio
each petal washed in my despondent blood
appear morose with grace of moonlite glow

Like in my deserted body
tents of all aching threads openly
start giving signs serially (of)
farewell of (my) passions' flock

And when appeared
somewhere under smoldering lites of remembrance
one last moment of your affection
pain was so intense that (heart) wanted to pass it on

We did want to stay though, heart did not desire so

# 1 - Mera dard naghma-e-be sada

Mera dard naghma-e-be sada 
Meri zaat zarra-e-benishaN 
Meray dard ko jo zabaN milay 
Mujhe apna nam-o-nishaN mile 
Meri zaat ko jo nishan mile 
Mujhe raz-e-nazm-e-jahan mile 
Jo mujhe ye raz-e-nihaN mile 
Meri khamoshi ko bayaN mile 
Mujhe kainat ki sarwarii 
Mujhe dolat-e-do jahaN mile 

 My sorrow is a song of no voice 
 My self is a grain of no sign (but) 
if my sorrow finds a cry 
 I find my (own) self 
And if I find any sign of myself 
I find secret of core of cosmos (and) 
 if I find that open secret 
 My silence finds (its) narration 
 I get kingship of universe 
 I find treasure of both worlds
