ENGLISH TRANSALTION

PINCH OF SEPARATION

My songs are like eyes
That sting with the grains of separation.
In the middle of the night ,
They wake and weep for dead friends.
Mother, I cannot sleep.

Soaked in perfume,
But the pain does not recede.
I foment them
With warm sighs,
Yet they turn on me ferociously.

And need guidance myself.
Who can advise him?
Mother, would you tell him,
To clench his lips when he weeps,
Or the world will hear him cry.

Tell him, mother, to swallow the bread
Of separation.
He is fated to mourn.
Tell him to lick the salty dew
On the roses of sorrow,
And stay strong.

Who are the snake handlers
From whom I can get another skin?
Give me a cover for myself.
How can I wait like a jogi
At the doorstep of these people
Greedy for gold?

Listen, o my pain,
Love is that butterfly
Which is pinned forever to a stake.
Love is that bee,
From whom desire,
Stays miles away.

Love is that palace
Where nothing lives
Except for the birds.
Love is that hearth
Where the colored bed of fulfillment,
Is never laid.

Mother, tell him not to
Call out the name of his dead friends
So loudly in the middle of the night.
When I am gone, I fear
That this malicious world,
Will say that my songs were evil.

Mother, o mother
My songs are like eyes
That sting with the grains of separation.
In the middle of the night ,
They wake and weep for dead friends.
Mother, I cannot sleep

This Nazam has been sung by many singers but nothing to beat the Pakistani singers Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Shazia Manzoor.

EH MERA GEET

Here is another good one by Shiv Kumar Batalvi :-

EH MERA GEET

Eh mera geet
Kisse na gaana.
Eh mera geet
Maen aape gaa ke
Bhalke hi mar jaana!

Eh mera geet dharat toun maela
Sooraj jedd puraana.
Kott janam toun peya asaanu
Iss da bol handaana.
Hor kisse di jaah na koi
Iss nu honttheen laana,
Eh taan mere naal janmeya
Naal bahishteen jaana
Eh mera geet
Men aape gaa ke
Bhalke hi mar jaana!

Es geet da ajab jeha sur
Ddaadda darad ranjhaanaan.
Katak maah vich duur pahaaddeen
Koonjaan da kurlaana.
Noor-paak de vele rakh vich,
Chiddiyaan da chichalaana.
Kaali raate sarkadiyaan ton
Paunaan da langh jaana!
Eh mera geet
Maen aape gaa ke
Bhalke hi mar jaana!

Maen tere geet ne dohaan
Jadd bhalke mar jaana,
Birhon de ghar jaiyaan saahnu
Kabareen labhan auna.
Sabhna saaiyaan ikk avaaze
Mukhon bol alaana:
Kisse kisse de lekheen hunda
Ehdda darad kamaana.

Eh mera geet
Kisse na gaana.
Eh mera geet
Maen aape gaa ke
Bhalke hi mar jaana!
Eh mera geet
Kisse na gaana.

MAIN AGG TURII PARDES - FROM LUNA

Shiv Kumar Batalvi, (1937 - 1973), wrote "LUNA", his legendary book, in 1965 when he was only 28 years old. For this book he was awarded the Nation's Biggest Litrary award "Sahitya Academy Award" in 1967 i.e. in the age of 30 years.

Shiv wrote this book in poetry mixed prose format.

As per the traditional story of Luna, as it goes, Luna’s role was that of a vamp. As the traditional story goes, Luna was married to Raja Salwan who was virtually of her father’s age. Raja Salwan had a young son named Pooran Bhagat who could have been a perfect match for Luna. Luna fell in love for Pooran but Pooran treated her as his mother and did not respond to her advances. Aggrieved by this attitude of Pooran, she complained to Raja Salwan saying that Pooran does not treat her like a mother and behaves otherwise with her. Hearing this, Raja Salwan got annoyed and got Pooran killed.

But Shiv virtually contradicted the historical legend saying that Luna, in fact, was not the vamp of the story, it was Raja Salwan who was the villain of the story.

Shiv goes on to say that Luna surrendered to the wishes of her parents and got married with Raja Salwan but Raja Salwan, because of his own complexity owing to his old age, developed a feeling against his son Pooran and Luna and got his son killed suspecting Pooran and Luna to be involved with each other.

Here is a beautiful poem, sung beautifully by Bhpinder and Mitali, from the book "LUNA" depicting the agony of Luna :-

MAIN AGG TURII PARDES - FROM LUNA

Mitali :

Saiye niin mainu de naa mattaan, dard dile daa kiikan dassan
Main agg Turii pardes niin saiyo, agg Turii pardes
Main agg Turii pardes niin saiyo, agg Turii pardes
Ik chhaatii merii HaaRh tapandaa, duujii tapdaa jeTh
Niin main agg Turii pardes, agg Turii pardes

Bhupinder :

Ajj dii umre har agg Turdii, jaa behndii pardes
Har agg de baabal de chulhe sadaa naa usdaa sek, eh kii agg de lekh
Har baabal dii niind gawaache baldaa vehRhaa dekh
Har baabal var DhuunDhan jaave har agni de mech
Laa taliyaan te baldii mehndii paa ke agg daa ves

Mitali :

Niin main agg Turii pardes, agg Turii pardes

Par saiyo main kaisii agg haan, kaise mere lekh
Jo baabal var DhuunDh lihaayaa, so naa aayaa mech
Agg taan sadaa abolii jamdii, mardii sadaa abol
Lahuu thuke teh addiyaan ragRhe, phir vii rahe aDol
Je agg bole, thiiye kalanki jag naa Dhukdaa kol
Niin main agg Turii pardes, agg Turii pardes

Par main aakhaan agg kyon naa bole
Jiibh daa jandraa kyon naa khole
Main chauhndii haan har agg uchchii bole
KaRhak daamnii taahiin Ghole
Aisii kaRhke aisii kaRhke
Das asmaanaan de sang paaTan, teh Raavan dii dhartii Dole
Guunjan satte dishaa dishaavaan har chulhe dii agni khaule
JhaaRh Phuunk ke buhe banne, har zulm de varq phole
Kyon koyii saaDhe agan sek nuun ek muThii Tangnii badle Tole
Main agg Turii pardes niin saiyo, agg Turii pardes

Bhupinder :

Sun niin aRhiye bhaine Luna,
Pushto pushtiin agg saraape, dushman paannuu aapnii baanhi
Agg nuun aapnii maan daa var hai, satviin koThii charkhii Daahiin
Dukh dii puunii othe katiin, jithe kiran naa jaaye kadaahiin

Mitali :

Main agg Turii pardes niin saiyo, agg Turii pardes
Main agg Turii pardes niin saiyo, agg Turii pardes
