Nami Danam Che Manzil Bood Lyrics
By Hazrat Amir Khusro
Nami Danam Che Manzil Bood Shab Jaye Ke Man Boodam
Baharsu raqs e bismil bood shab jaye ke mann boodam
——————–
I wonder what was the place where I was last night,
All around me were half slaughtered victims of love, tossing about in agony
Pari paikar nigaare, sarw qadde, laala rukhsare
Sarapa aafat e dil bood shab jaye ki mann boodam
——————–
There was a nymph like beloved with cypress like form and tulip like face
Ruthlessly playing havoc with the hearts of the lovers
Raqeeban Gosh barr awaaz, au dar naaz, mann tarsaan
Sukhan guftan, chey mushkil bood, shab jaye ke mann boodam
——————–
The enemies were ready to respond , He was attracting, I was dreading
It was too difficult to speak out there where I was last night
Khuda khud meer e majlis bood andar laamakan Khusrau
Muhammad shamme mehfil bood shab jaay ki mann boodam
——————–
God himself was the master of ceremonies in that heavenly court,
oh Khusrau, where the face of the Prophet too was shedding light
like a candle
نمی دانم چہ منزل بود شب جائے کہ من بودم
بہر سو رقص بسمل بود شب جائے کہ من بودم
پری پیکر نگاری، سرو قد، لالہ رخساری
سراپا آفت دل بود شب جائے کہ من بودم
رقیباں گوش بر آواز، او در ناز، من ترساں
سخن گفتن، چہ مشکل بود شب جائے کہ من بودم
خدا خود میر مجلس بود اندر لامکاں خسرو
محمد شمع محفل بود شب جائے کہ من بودم
