Shaheen - The Eagle


Kiya Mein Ne Us Khakdaa Se Kinara
Jahan Rizq Ka naam Hey Aab-o-Dana

I have disconnected myself from a place, where the food (means of livelihood) named grain and water

Beyaban Ki Khalwat Khush Ati Hey Mujh Ko
Azal Se Hai Fitrat Meri Rehbana

isolated wild life makes me please, from the beginning, i am hermit by nature

Na Bad-e-Bahari, Na Gulchein, Na Bulbul
Na Beemari-e-Naghma-e-Ashiqana

no wind of Spring, no flowers, no sweet sound (of nightingale), and no sickness of song of love

Khayabanion Se Hey Parhaiz Lazim
Adayen Hein In Ki Bohat Dilbarana

important to avoid dwellers of garden, there charms are utterly irresistible

Hawa-e-Bayaban Se Hoti Hey Kari
Jawan Mard Ki Zarb-e-Ghaziyana

winds of deserts are precious, strike of sword by a brave youth fighting in battle effects

Hamam-o-Kaootar Ka Bhooka Nahin Mein
Ke Hey Zindagi Baaz Ki Zahidana

I am not hungry of luxuries , the life of Eagle is sacred

Jhapatna, Palatna, Palat Kar Jhapatna
Lahoo Garam Rakhney Ka Hey Ek Bahana

to attack, retreat and attack again, is only a pretext to keep blood warm

Ye Poorab, Ye Pachim Chakoron Ki Dunya
Mera Neelgoo Asmaan Baikarana

East and West are world of the pheasant, mine blue sky is vast and boundless

Parindoo Ki Dunya Ka Darvaish Ho Mein
Ke Shaheen Banata Nahin Ashiyana

i am Dervish of bird's world, Eagle does not make nest (permanent residence).
