Wapas ker do (An attempt at translation)

This song got on my nerves for some days. This is an attempt to translate the feelings in a different language.


Return back
................
You ask me 
to return back
your letters

lovely evenings
fragrance, memories
you ask me
to return back

Some dry petals
in my books
and a lovely face
in my dreams
a few gifts
and a few pictures
Thats all I have as
the companions of
my lonely moments
all these memories
you ask me
to return back

happy and sad times
All promises, all seasons
tears that we shed together 
glitters of the times
spent together
That is all I have as
the companion of 
my lonely moments
all these memories
you ask me
to return back.

.............
return back.

The song and its expressions are matchless.

Mustansar Hussain Tarar . (A gesture of gratitude on 75th birthday)

I had to rush. Time was rushing too. It was a lovely February morning in Karachi, Pakistan. The smooth chilled breeze at the sea shore was refreshing to the core. The lush green lawn of this elegant hotel located by the sea was filled with people of diversification. I reached at the edge of the small flight of stairs that was leading to the vast expense of lawn. Sheema kirmani was performing on the stage and the echoes of the shadow were visible on the larger than life screen. I looked for him. But that was absurd. It was impossible to find anyone in this crowd. So I decided the next best thing. I moved towards the hall specified for his session. Room 007. There wasn't anyone there yet except for a cute couple (later found out to be his dedicated fans and my newly acquired friends). I selected the best seat with the best view of the stage. And silently, began waiting. Slowly the crowd moved in and the hall was full in no time. My pulse ran higher and I began to have palpitations...
