ROZ EK SHER

In memory of Pankajbhai Shah of Jalna, who died tragically young on 10 May 2007.

हमारी यह शब कैसी शब है इलाही
न रोते कटे है न सोते कटे है
-मीर

hamaarii yah shab kaisi shab hai ilaahii
na rote kate hai, na sote kate hai
-Mir

This night, what sort of night is this, O Lord?
It does not pass – in sorrow nor in sleep.

English translation by Rohini Chowdhury
