Ghulam Ahmad Mahjoor

Baage Nishaata ke gulo
Naaz karaan karaan vwolo
Khanda kavaan karaan vwolo
Mwokhta haraan haraan vwolo

Flower- of Nishat Bagh !
Come with your blandishments,
Come with your laughter,
Come showering pearls

Tsaakh tsü yaam dar chaman
Bosa karee tsè kosaman
Shok chhu yamburzalan
Khaasy baraan haraan vwolo

When you entered the garden,
The kusum kissed you ;
The narcissus glowed with passion ;
Come filling glasses.

Saäri daluk tou vüchh bahaar
Baage Nishaato Shaalamaar
Chashma zu thaävmay tayaar
Taara taraan taraan vwolo

See, spring has come
To Dal, Nighat and Shalamar !
I’ve kept ready two gushing springs.
Come rowing across.

Sangdilaa sitamgaraa
Aar tsè chhuy na akh zaraa
Zaayi gäyas bü swondaraa
Maay baraan baraan vwolo

O stranger to all pity,
Hard-hearted tyrant!
My bloom is wasted.
Come love me true

Baava kamis ba yim sitam
Maara matyo tsu boztam
Hola gäj is bit dam
ba dam Lol haraan haraan vwolo

Who’ll heed my woes
But you, my love?
I’m dying of grief.
Come showering love.
