Urdu Simple/Easy Poetry with transaltion! - Hello everyone
I have just joined this forum and decided to post a simple urdu peotry with a literal english translation and then a more generic one. Do please let me know if it helps and should I post other as well. So here it goes:

Urdu:
dosto dekhā tamāśā yanha kā bas.
tum raho ab hum to apne ghar chale

English [literal]:
Friends(dosto) seen(dekha) enough(bas) show/performance (tamasha) of this place (yanha ka)
You(tum) stay(raho) now(ab) I/we(hum) go(chale) to our(apne) home/house(ghar)

English (with context):
My friend, we\'ve seen enough fine sights, through which we loved to roam.
You stay on to enjoy them; we are ready to go home.

Kaash!
Key Mein Aik Qalam Hoti
Jab Tum Likhte Tanhai Mein
Dil Ki Baat!
Chupke Se Kaghaz Per Utarti
Aur Teray Haathon Ke Lams Se
Samajh Pati Teray Jazbon Ko
\'Shaam Ke Surmai Andheron Mein
Jab Tu Nikalta Almari Se
Mera Dil Khushi Se Jhoomta
Phir Zara Deir Talak Teri Unglion Mein Qaid Rehti
Kaash Tu Mujhey Umer Qaid Dedey!
Phir Teri Baatein Khatam Hoti
Tu Mujhey Chor ker chala jata
Intizar Kerney Key Liye!
Per Woh Intizar Bhi Bemaza Na Hota
Kuch Milney Ki Tarap Hoti
Kuch Dil Beqarar Hota
Mujhey Aadat Hoti Teri Qurbat Ki
Tu Pyar Ki Baatein , Meray Liye Na Sahi
Per Mujh Se To Likhta...AniYa
Kaash Mein Aik Qalam Hoti

This type of poetry is called \'Azaad\' Nazm or \'independent\' peotry as there is no requirement of rhyming or balancing the verses.
Anyways, I am no expert in urdu poetry myself but here goes my effort. Please note that this poem is written by a female poet (she being the lover) for her love and hence the feminine words like meri, utarti etc.

translation:
Wish!
That I was a pen
When you start to write in solitude
The tales of your heart
Quietly I would step/spread on the paper
And via the touch of your hand
I could understand your emotions
Midst the darkness of the night
when you would take me (pen) out from the drawer
My heart will bloom in merriment
That for a few more moments I would be a prisoner of your hand
Oh! if you could make me a prisoner for life
Then your writings will end
You will separate from me and leave..
me behind to wait for you again
Though that wait would not be without joy..
That trembling to meet you again
That craving in my heart
I will be used to being near you
Your love sonnets, even if not for me
But atleast you would write them with me ...AniYa*
Wish! I was a pen

*AniYa, My best guess is the name of the poet. It is customary in Urdu Ghazal (love peoms that rhyme) to use your \'poetry\' name (called \'Takhallas\' in urdu peotry) in the last stanza of your poems.

- Thanks for the translation Samsonite.
I tried to translate it myself to, but I couldn\'t find the following words in my dictionary. Could someone give me the translations of each word:

Chupke
Teray/Teri
Lams
Almari
Jhoomta
Deir
Umer
Dedey
Key
Bemaza
Tarap
Beqarar
Qurbat
To

I especially don\'t understand the following sentence.
Could you give a more literal translation of this sentence?

Phir Zara Deir Talak Teri Unglion Mein Qaid Rehti.

By the way, why are these words all in capitals?

samsonite Thursday 04th of January 2007 06:00:24 PM
translations! - You are welcome Rainbow

Following is the literal translation of each of your words to the best of my knowledge:
Chupke - Slowly
Teray/Teri - Yours (plural neutral vs singular feminine)
Lams - Touch (It is not a simple urdu word, 9 out of 10 natives would probably be unable to answer that)
Almari - Closet/Cupboard/Wardrobe
Jhoomta - state when someone/something is floating (more accurate explanation would be when someone is drunk and the unsteady way he/she walks) but it is more often used in a positive manner, as if being very happy and you want to just float around. I know its a terrible explanation but its the best I could do!
Deir - delay/long pessage of time
Umer - Age/life
Dedey - Give (Dey also means give, pronounced not like english \'day\' but more like english \'they\', beware it looks from the spelling that they are two different word but actually it the the \'dey\' being used twice \'dey dey\')
Key - for
Bemaza - without taste
Tarap - trembling (not physical trembling but the feeling of ones heart, the feeling of longing for something/someone)
Beqarar - impatience (\'qarar\' means the state of heart when it is fulfilled and not longing/waiting for anything, \'be\', pronounced as \'bay\' infront means the opposite of \'qarar\', \'be\' is frequently used for this purpose)
Qurbat - closeness/intimacy
To - so, here this is used to emphasise what is written after it, it is pronounced as \'tau\'

Phir Zara Deir Talak Teri Unglion Mein Qaid Rehti -> Phir (Again) zara(bit) deir(more/delay) talak(another form of the word \'tak\', meaning till) teri (your) unglion (fingers) mein(within) qaid(imprisonment) rehti(stay; feminine)

As for the capitals, I have no idea!

May I ask a somewhat awkward question, please you do not need to reply if you find it awkward, but how and more importantly why are you interested in Urdu?

giovy Friday 05th of January 2007 08:52:28 AM
Asslama o alikum - thanks for the translation samsonite, now i like more this poem :-) because now i know what it means, i hope soon i will be able to read it by myself

ALLAH HAFIZ

samsonite Saturday 06th of January 2007 03:34:29 AM
Ghalib Poetry - Here is the next poem. It is of Mirza Ghalib, one of the best poets of Urdu Language.

De lot me know if you guys find it simple or difficult:

[Urdu]
Kis say mahrumi kismat ki shikayat ki-ji-yaa
Hum nay chaha tha kay mar ja-ain so woh bhi na hoa
[translation]
To whom, alas, shall I complain if luck with me does not abide?
\"O, give me death\" was all I sought, that blessing too I was denied.

Rainbow_Oasis Sunday 07th of January 2007 11:02:03 PM
- Without the English translation, it is very difficult, as my knowledge of the Urdu vocubulairy is very limited.

Could you give the literal translation of each word in thesetwo sentences too?

samsonite Monday 08th of January 2007 02:52:54 AM
literal translation - Kis say mahrumi kismat ki shikayat ki-ji-yaa
Hum nay chaha tha kay mar ja-ain so woh bhi na hoa

Translation:
Kis say (To whom) mahrumi(void/lacking/absence) kismat(kismet/fate) ki(of) shikayat(complain) ki-ji-yaa(be done)
Hum(We) nay(have/had) chaha(liked/wanted) tha(indicates past tense) kay(that) mar ja-ain(to die) so(but) woh(that) bhi(even) na(not) hoa(happened)

Rainbow_Oasis Wednesday 10th of January 2007 03:54:18 AM
- Thank you Samsonite.

The next is not a poem as such, but the lyrics of a song from Mehdi Hassa. I hope you don\'t mind me posting it here, I am curious to the translation. I have tried myself but couldn\'t understand all words. Could you give the translation? (two sentences are repeated constantly)

Dil-e-Veeran Hai Teri Yaad,

(Dil-e-veeran hay, teri yaad hay tanhaiyee hay
Zindagi dard ki bahoon main simat ayi hay) x2

Mere mehboob zamanay main koi tujhsa kahan
Tere janay say meri jaan pe baan ayi hay
Zindagi dard ki bahoon main simat ayi hay
Dil-e-veeran hay, teri yaad hay tanhaiyee hay

Aisa ujra hay umeedoon ka chamaan tere baad x2
Phool murjhayai baharoon pe khizaan chaiyee hay
Zindagi dard ki bahoon main simat ayi hay
Dil-e-veeran hay, teri yaad hay tanhaiyee hay

Chhaa gaiyai charoon taraf ghum ke andhereay saiyai
Meri taqdir mere hal pe sharmaiyee hay
Zindagi dard ki bahoon main simat ayi hay
Dil-e-veeran hay, teri yaad hay tanhaiyee hay

samsonite Wednesday 10th of January 2007 10:45:05 PM
- Now this is a difficult one. Mehdi Hassan is actually called SHahanshah-e-Ghazal (the Emperor of Ghazals)in Pakistan & India. Ghazal is a type of poetry in which the lover expresses the love for his lover. The lover tends to be either a human (Ishq-e-Majazi) or sometimes can be used for God as well (Ishq-e-Haqiqi).
Mehdi Hassan\'s songs (or ghazal) that he have sung are almost all about the human lover.
Just to give u a background of Urdu Ghazal so that u can understand it more, in almost all the cases the lover is, in one way or the other, outlining the state of his heart that he is madly in love with the lover but the lover is either unaware of it, is not interested or is in love with someone else and is least bothered about him.

I must say that you have indeed picked a very beautiful ghazl sung by a very good singer in a very beautiful voice (u can almost feel the pain in his voice). I must say that I am not competent enough to translate it good enough to do justice with it.
But just so that u can understand a little bit of it, here goes my translation effort:
(literal):
Dil-e-veeran (Dil:heart veeran:empty, dil-e-veeran:heart which is empty or it can also be contrued as heart which is so in love with someone that it cannot think of any thing else) hay(is), teri(your) yaad(memories) hay(is), tanhaiyee(isolation,loneliness) hay (is)
Zindagi(life) dard(pain) ki(of) bahoon(arms) main(in) simat(twine/wrap) ayi hay(has come)

Mere(my/mine) mehboob(lover) zamanay(present/world/society) main(in) koi(any) tujhsa(like you) kahan(where)
Tere(you/your) janay(leave/departure) say(because) meri(my/mine) jaan pe bann ayi (matter of life & death) hay(indicates present tesnse)
Zindagi dard ki bahoon main simat ayi hay
Dil-e-veeran hay, teri yaad hay tanhaiyee hay

(Contextual translation)
Heart is desolated, your memories abound, loneliness prevails
My life has been surrounded by sheer pain and suffering

My lover! there is no one like you in this whole world
You departure has left me very near to my death (I think this is not a good translation of this particular verse, in order to truly appreciate the beauty of this particular line, pay special attention to the usage of \'janay\' & \'jaan\' to create rhythm and at the same time convey deep feelings)

The rest to follow soon!

- Shukrya samsonite. I\'m looking forward to more of your postings.

kristhell Monday 19th of February 2007 12:24:32 PM

take care!

samsonite Thursday 11th of October 2007 05:29:16 AM
I am back after a long break. - Another one of my favourite verses by one of the last great poets of Urdu Faiz Ahmed Faiz. Hope some of you are still interested and enjoy it. Here it goes:

Raat yunh dil mein teri khoee hui yaad aayee
Jaise veeraaney mein chupkey sey bahaar aa jaye
Jaisey sehra on mein howley se chaley baadey naseem
Jaisey beemaar ko bey wajhey Qaraar aa jaaye

English Translation:
Last night, your lost memories crept into my heart
as spring sneaks into a barren wilderness
as a cool morning breeze blows slowly in a desert
as a sick person feels well, for no reason

Rainbow_Oasis Thursday 18th of October 2007 02:16:26 PM
- Great to see you are back, Samsonite. Aap kaise hain?

Shukrya, for adding the verse with the translation. :) I\'m still interested in reading those.
