Ajeeb manoos ajnabi tha mujhay to hairaan ker gaya wo
Buss aik moti c chubb dikha ker , bus aik meethi c dhun suna ker
Sitara-e-shaam ban k aya , barang khwab seher gaya wo
Khushi ki rut ho k ghum ka mosam , nazar ussay dhoondti hai her dam
Na ab wo yaadon ka charh ta derya na farishton ki udaas berkha
Youn hi zra c kasak hai dil main, Jo zakham gehra tha bher gaya wo
He came from nowhere with traces of past
and disappeared without a sign when he went away.
Uncommon, strange but human was he.
He left me confounded deep within.
A fleeting vision of a pearl, he showed up and shone for a while,
He left behind a sweet lament and we, stunned and staggered,
struggled to find the secret of his haunting presence amongst us.
He came like the star of evening touching the earth
and at dawn he was gone like a fading dream.
Be it now the season of joy, be it a time of grief,
I look for him in all directions.
Call him the scent of an unknown flower,
call him the spirit of a hymn;
he has made my heart his home forever.
No longer now the sea raging with memories,
no longer a sad rain falling like dark angels,
he is just a feeble ache in the heart.
The deeper anguish healed long before.
The notes he played on his flute were like a boat that took us beyond the night He was your bard, your wakeful knight. .We saw him walk up to the lane that took him to your home
Further, we do not know.
