مُنتظِر
muntazir
Touch on each word to display its meaning
مُنتظِر
Expectant
مَیں یہاں ہوُں مُنتظِر
تُم وہاں ہو بے خبر
[ both lines x2 ]
اَور ہلکے ہلکے سے مَن چاہے
مانگا جِس کو وہ مِل جائے
Here I am, expectant
you are there, unaware
[both lines x2]
and gradually, my heart prays
to join the one (I) asked for
یہ رات تھم جائے سَو سال کو
اَور ایک ہو جائیں ہَم تُم
Would this night stand still for a hundred years
and you and I be one!
مَیں یہاں ہوُں مُنتظِر
تُم وہاں ہو بے خبر
اَور ہلکے ہلکے سے مَن چاہے
مانگا جِس کو وہ مِل جائے
یہ رات تھم جائے سَو سال کو
اَور ایک ہو جائیں ہَم تُم
Here I am, expectant
you are there, unaware
and gradually, my heart prays
to join the one (I) asked for
Would this night stand still for a hundred years
and you and I be one!
دُور سے آتی ہَیں پریاں
سُناتی ہَیں اِک کہانی مُجھے بار بار
تُم یہاں پہ مگر
وہ ، وہاں پہ کرے تیرا اِنتظار
اب مانو نَہِیں ہار
Fairies come from afar
and narrate to me a story again and again
You are over here
but (he) is over there waiting for you
provided you don't become dispirited
سوچو نَہ ، چَل پڑو
جاؤ ، نَہ نَہ ڈرو
جانتے ہو تُم اُس کے دِل کا راز
شاید گھبرائے گی ، وہ نَہ کہہ پائے گی
تُم نَہ ڈرنا نَہ پِیچھے ہٹنا
کہہ دینا دِل کی بات
Don't think, just go
Go, no, don't fear
You know (her) heart's secret
Perhaps she will be confused, won't manage to speak (out)
Don't you fear, don't you fall back
say the word of your heart!
مَیں یہاں ہوُں مُنتظِر
تُم وہاں ہو بے خبر
اَور ہلکے ہلکے سے مَن چاہے
مانگا جِس کو وہ مِل جائے
Here I am, expectant
you are there, unaware
and gradually, my heart prays
to join the one (I) asked for
یہ رات تھم جائے سَو سال کو
اَور ایک ہو جائیں ہَم تُم
[ both lines x2 ]
Would this night stand still for a hundred years
and you and I be one!
[both lines x2]
