1/2: Shaz Tamkanat

bana husn-e-takallum

husn-e-zan aahista aahista

bahar-surat khula

ek kam-sukhan aahista aahista

the beauty of eloquence turned into

beauty of insight, slowly, slowly

the reticent one opened up

in every way, slowly, slowly

2/2: Shaz Tamkanat

mera zameer bahut hai

mujhe sazaa ke liye

tu dost hai to naseehat

na kar khuda ke liye

my conscience is enough

for my punishment

if you are my friend,

for god’s sake, don’t give me advice
