Diyar-e-Ishq Mein Apna Maqam Paida Kar Naya Zamana, Naye Subah-o-Sham Paida Kar Build in love’s empire your hearth and your home; Build Time anew, a new dawn, a new eve! Khuda Agar Dil-e-Fitrat Shanas De Tujh Ko Sakoot-e-Lala-o-Gul Se Kalaam Paida Kar Your speech, if God give you the friendship of Nature, From the rose and tulip’s long silence weave. Utha Na Sheesha Garan-e-Farang Ke Ehsan Sifal-e-Hind Se Meena-o-Jaam Paida Kar No gifts of the Franks’ clever glass‐bowers ask! From India’s own clay mould your cup and your flask. Main Shakh-e-Taak Hun, Meri Ghazal Hai Mera Samar Mere Samar Se Mai-e-Lala Faam Paida Kar My songs are the grapes on the spray of my vine; Distil from their clusters the poppy‐red wine! Mera Tareeq Ameeri Nahin, Faqeeri Hai Khudi Na Baich, Ghareebi Mein Naam Paida Kar! The way of the hermit, not fortune, is mine; Sell not your soul! In a beggar’s rags shine. vimeo/38168422
