(Bal-e-Jibril-144) Farishtay Adam Ko Jannat Se Rukhsat Kartay Hain

Farishte Adam Ko Jannat Se Rukhsat Karte Hain
The Angels Bid Farewell To Adam

Atta Huwi Hai Tujhe Roz-o-Shab Ki Betabi
Khabar Nahin Ke Tu Khaki Hai Ye Ke Seemabi

You have been given the restlessness of Day and Night,
We know not whether you are made of clay or mercury;

Suna Hai, Khak Se Teri Namood Hai, Lekin
Teri Sarisht Mein Hai Kokabi-o-Mehtabi

We hear you are created from clay,
But in your nature is the glitter of Stars and Moon.

Jamal Apna Agar Khawab Mein Bhi Tu Dekhe
Hazar Hosh Se Khushtar Teri Shukar Khawabi

Your sleep would be preferable over much wakefulness
If you could behold your own beauty even in a dream!

Garan Baha Hai Tera Girya-e-Sehargahi
Issi Se Hai Tere Nakhl-e-Kuhan Ki Shadabi

Your morning sighs are invaluable
For they are the water to your ancient tree.

Teri Nawa Se Hai Be-Parda Zindagi Ka Zameer
Ke Tere Saaz Ki Fitrat Ne Ki Hai Mizrabi

Your melody unravels the secret of life
For it is Nature that has attuned your organ.
