Sunset

I didn't ask for it to be over, 
but then again, 
I never asked for it to begin.
For that's the way it is with life, as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. 
But even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets.

Clouds come floating into my life, 
no longer to carry rain or usher storm, 
but to add color to my sunset sky.

Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer the goal.

Yaar ko hamne ja bja dekha...

Yaar ko humne ja ba ja dekha,

Kahin zaahir kahin chhupa dekha.

( I saw my beloved in all I saw, At times revealed, hidden at times. )

Nukta-e-imaan se waaqif ho,

Chehra-e-yaar ja ba ja dekha.

( Been familiar with the issue of faith, I saw the face of my beloved in all I saw. )

Kahin mumkin hua kahin waajib,

Kahin faani kahin baqa dekha.

( At times a possibility, at times imperative, At times ephemeral, at times eternal. )

Deed apne ki thi use khwahish,

Aap ko har tarah bana dekha.

( Inspired by the wish to see Himself, He made Himself into every form. )

Dekhta aap hai sune hai aap,

Na koi uska ma siwa dekha.

( He is the one who sees and hears, I saw no one other then Him. )

Soorat-e-gul mein khilkhila ke hansa, 

Shakl-e-bulbul mein chahchaha dekha.

( Laughed gleefully through blooming flowers, Crooned in nightingale's melodious songs. )

Shama ho kar ke aur parwana,

Aap ko aap mein jala dekha.

( He took the forms of the candle and the moth, And annihilated Himself in flames of His own. )

Kar ke daawa kahin anal haq ka,

Bar sare daar wo khincha dekha.

( At times claiming "I am the Truth", Witnessed his head raised on the Cross. )

Tha woh bartar shuma-o-ma se 'Niyaz',

Phir wohi ab shuma-o-ma dekha.

( O 'Niyaz' He was beyond the bounds of `You' and `Me', And yet I see Him in every `You' and `Me'. )

Kahin begaanavash nazar aaya,

Kahin surat se aashna dekha.

( At times he behaved like unfamiliar, At timed I found him familiar with the face. )

Kahin hai badshah-e-takht nashin,

Kahin kaasa liye gada dekha.

( At times he is the emperor in power, At times seen with a mendicant's begging bowl. )

Kahin aabid banaa kahin zahid,

Kahin rindon ka peshwa dekha.

( At times, a devout worshipper, Lord of rakes and drunkards at times. )

Kahin woh dar libaas-e-mashooqaan,

Bar sare naaz aur ada dekha,

( At times in the beloved's attire, He was seen throwing up His charms. )

Kahin aashiq 'Niyaz' ki soorat,

Seena biryaan-o-dil jala dekha.

( At times as a lover like 'Niyaz', He was seen beating his breast and heart aflame. )
