What is love?

 By Sardar Khatoon

Translation by Junaid Wahid Jokhio 


محبت کیا ہے؟

کبھی سوچا تم نے؟

محبت تو نام ہے آزادی کا۔

محبت کے نام پر قید ہونا چھوڑ دو.

محبت کیا ہے؟

 کبھی سوچا تم نے؟

محبت ایک روحانی

 عبادت ہے،

جو تمہیں دنیا میں

ہر ڈر اور خوف سے نجات دلاتی ہے.

 محبت کیا ہے؟

کبھی سوچا تم نے؟

محبت تو نام ہے آزاد تخیل کا۔

جس کی کوئی سرحد نہیں ہوتی ۔

اگر تم محبت کرتے ھو تو

ھوا میں تحلیل ہو جاؤ،

بادلوں کے ساتھ مل کر برسو.

  دھوپ بن کر ہر آنگن پہ یکساں اترو۔

چاند بن کر سب کے چھرے روشن کرو۔

سرد ہوا بن کر روحوں میں اترو۔

اگر تم محبت کے دعویدار ہو تو،

شجر بن کر سب کو سایہ دو۔

قلعوں میں قيد بند روحوں کو آزاد کر دو. 

دریاء بن کر سب کو سیراب کرو۔

فصلوں کے ساتھ پنپتے، پھلو اور پھولو۔

ہر موسم میں بہار بن کر رہو۔

کسی ایک پر حکمرانی کرنا محبت نہیں۔

محبت تو نام ہے آزادی کا۔

محبت کے نام پر خود کو قید کرنا چھوڑ دو۔

What is love?

Have you ever pondered over it?

Love is the name of freedom.

Stop subjugating yourself in the name of love.

Do you know what love is?

Have you ever thought about it?

 Love is a spiritual worship that gets you salvation/relief from every fright and fear.

What is love? 

Have you ever thought about it?

Love is the name of such a free imagination which has no borders.

If you love someone then dissolve/diffuse in the wind, and pour down with clouds.

Brighten every courtyard alike by being sunlight.

Make all feel jubilant by being moon.

Soothe the souls as a cool air.

If you claim to be in love,

Provide a shadow to all as a tree.

Free the souls confined in the castles.

Irrigate everything as a river.

Thrive and flourish, growing along with crops.

Be spring in all seasons.

Ruling over a single individual is no love at all.

Love is really the name of freedom.

Stop subjugating yourself in the name of love.

Just for twenty days (A romantic story)

Once upon a time, there was a boy called Amir who was sixteen years old. The boy went to his maternal grand parents' home without his other family members where there were his maternal grandpa, maternal uncle, aunt and their four little kids of almost two, four and six years old. During those days, a sister of that boy's maternal aunt had come to visit them and was utterly familiar with the boy. The boy always dreamt of being with any sister of his aunt, so he got that chance. Both the girl and the boy started talking to each other like friends on the very first day and on the following days that friendship became so strong that they got closer to each other. The boy began to sit in the kitchen when the girl used to cook something. There was an orchard of mangoes near their home. The grandpa of the boy was very fond of eating raw mangoes, so he said to the boy to pluck them from the orchard to make their jam. The boy plucked and brought the unripe mangoes daily and both the gir...
