Reshmi si maaya thi
I was a soft mirage

Aur main takta jaata tha
And I kept looking at it

Jab teri gali aaya, sach tabhi nazar aaya
I saw the truth when I came in your lane

Jab teri gali aaya, sach tabhi nazar aaya
I saw the truth when I came in your lane

Mujh mein hi woh khushboo thi jise tune milwaya
You introduced me to the fragrance that was within me

Toot ke bikharna mujhko zaroor aata hai
I definitely know how to break and scatter

Toot ke bikharna mujhko zaroor aata hai
I definitely know how to break and scatter

Warna ibaadat waala shahoor aata hai
Or else I know the joy of devotion

Sajde mein rehne do, ab kahin na jaunga
Let me bow down in prayer, I won’t leave

Sajde mein rehne do, ab kahin na jaunga
Let me bow down in prayer, I won’t leave

Ab joh tumne thukraya toh sawar na paunga
If you reject me now then I won’t improve

Sar utha ke maine toh kitni khwahishein ki thi
With great pride I desired many a things

Kitne khwaab dekhe the, kitni koshishein ki thi
I saw many dreams and I tried a lot

Jab tu rubaroo aaya
When you came in front of me

Jab tu rubaroo aaya, nazrein na mila paaya
When you came in front of me, I couldn’t look

Sar jhuka ke ek pal mein
The moment I bowed to you

Sar jhuka ke ek pal mein maine kya nahi paaya
The moment I bowed to you, I attained all

Maula maula maula mere maula

"Afreen Afreen" stands as a testament to Sufi poetry's beauty and the enchanting allure of Qawwali music, captivating listeners with its divine essence and lyrical charm.

Lyrics:

husn-e-jaanaa ki taareef mumkin nahi
It's not even possible to praise the beauty of my beloved.
aafreen aafreen, afreen afreen
Praise to the Creator, Praise to the Maker,

tu bhi dekhe agar to kahe ham-nasheeN
Even if you see (my beloved), you will say the same.
afreen afreen, aafreen aafreen
Praise to the Creator, Praise to the Maker.

aisa dekha nahi khoobsoorat koi
I have never seen anyone so beautiful.
j**m jaise Ajanta ki moorat koi
her body is like some statue of Ajanta Caves
j**m jaise nigaahoN pe jaadoo koi
her body is like a spell on eyes.
j**m naghma koi, j**m khushboo koi
her body is like some beautiful song, like some fragrance,

j**m jaise machalti hui raagini
her body is like a tilting rhythm,
j**m jaise mehakti hui chaandni
her body is like fragrant moonlight,
j**m jaise ke khiltaa hua ek chaman
her body is like a blossoming garden.
j**m jaise sooraj ki pehli kiran
her body is like the first rays of the Sun.
j**m tarshaa hua dilkash-o-dil-nasheeN
her body is like a carved statue, heart-arresting,

sandali sandalee..
Like (the fragrant) sandalwood.
marmari marmaree.
Like white marble.

chehra ek phool ki tarah shaadaab hai
chehra uskaa hai ya koi mahtaab hai
chehra jaise ghazal, chehraa jaan-e-ghazal
Her face is fresh as flower.
Is it her face or the moon?
her face is like a Ghazal, face is like the life of a Ghazal.

chehra jaise kali, chehraa jaise kanval
Her face is like a bud, face is like a lotus flower,
chehra jaise tasavvur ki tasveer bhi
Her face is like a face given to imaginations,
chehra ek khwaab bhi chehraa taabeer bhi
That face is like a dream, and its interpretation too.

chehra koi alif laila ki daastaaN
Her face is like some tale from Alif Laila
chehra ek pal yakeen, chehraa ek pal gumaaN
For one moment it's real and in a moment it's an imagination,
chehra jaise ke chehraa koi bhi nahi,
Her face is like no other,

Maah-roo maah-roo
With a face like moon,
MahjabeeN mahjabeeN..
With a forehead like moon.

aankhein dekhi to mein dekhtha reh gaya
When I saw her eyes, I was transfixed.
jaam do aur donon hi do aatishaaN
They are two cups of wine, both of them ablaze.
aankhein ya maikade ki yeh do baab haiN
Are these eyes, or two doors to a winehouse?
aankhein inko kahoon ya kahoon khwaab haiN
Shall I call them eyes or dreams?

aankhein neechi huyiN to haya ban gayiN
When the eyes looked down, they became shyness itself,
aankhein oonchi huyiN to dua ban gayiN
When they looked up, they became a prayer.
aankhein uTh kar jhukeeN to adaa ban gayiN
When they looked down after looking up, it was her style.
aankhein jhuk kar uTheeN to sazaa ban gayiN
When they looked up after a downward glance, it became a punishment.
aankhein jin mein hai qaid aasman-o-zameen
Eyes, in which the sky and earth are captured,

Nargisi nargisi,
(eyes) like the flower of nargis,
Surmayi surmayi...
grey, like the eye-kohl.

zulf-e-jaana ki bhi lambi hai daastan
The story of the (long) tresses of beloved is long too.
zulf ki mere dil par haiN parchhaaiyaan
These tresses have their shadows on my heart.
zulf jaise ke uljhi hui ho ghaTa
Tresses, like dark clouds entangled in themselves,
zulf jaise ke ho koi kaalee balaa
Tresses, like some black specter

zulf uljhe to duniyaa pareshaan ho
When tresses get entangled, the world gets troubled,
zulf suljhe to ye geet aasaan ho
When tresses become straight, this song becomes easy,
zulf bikhre siyaah raat chhaane lage
When tresses spread, the black night starts looming over,
zulf lehraaye to raat gaane lage
When tresses sway, the night starts singing,
zulf zanjeer hai phir bhi kitni haseeN
The tresses are like some chain, but still so beautiful.

reshamee reshamee
So Silky,
ambaree ambaree...
So much like the sky...

“O Man Ramzaner Oi Rozar Sheshe” by Runa Laila

As the crescent moon ushers in Eid ul Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan's solemn month of fasting and reflection, we at The Q Project extend our warmest Eid Mubarak to all our readers.

Throughout Ramadan, The Q Project, has been a tapestry of cultural and spiritual exploration. We've delved into a myriad of topics, offering original insights and enriching our community with lyrics, translations, and links to devotional music that spans genres, languages, and borders. Our journey has been one of discovery, connecting hearts across the divides of geography and culture through the universal language of music.

Today, we spotlight a piece that resonates with the soulful vibrations of Eid - “O Man Ramzaner Oi Rozar Sheshe” by the iconic Bangladeshi songstress Runa Laila.

The song's profound lyrics were crafted in 1931 by Kazi Nazrul Islam, the revered National Poet of Bangladesh. Nazrul wrote it at the request of his friend and disciple, Abbasuddin Ahmed - a legendary Bengali singer.

The lyrics of the song is an enriched blend of Bengali, Arabic, Persian and Urdu - a craft that Nazrul was an unparalleled wizard of.

Known as the 'Bidrohi Kobi' or the Rebel Poet, Nazrul's works are a testament to the power of love and rebellion, his pen a mighty sword that carved out a legacy of versatility as a poet, author, and historic figure in the Indian subcontinent.

Nazrul's contributions to devotional music are unparalleled, transcending religious boundaries. His Shyama Sangeet hymns are cherished by the Hindu community, while his Islamic ghazals and spiritual compositions have found a home in the hearts of people from diverse faiths. His music is a bridge between worlds, a celebration of unity in diversity.

“O Man Ramzaner Oi Rozar Sheshe” is not just a song; it is an anthem that has been embraced by almost every famous Bangladeshi singer and many legendary voices from West Bengal, India.

ও মন রমজানের ঐ রোজার শেষে এলো খুশির ঈদ
O mon romjaner oi rojar sheshe elo khushir Eid
Oh heart, at the end of Ramadan's fasting, Eid of happiness has arrived

Today, you give yourself away, listen to the heavenly command

তোর সোনা–দানা বালাখানা সব রাহে লিল্লাহ
Tor sona-dana balakhana Sob rahe lillah
Your grains of gold and wealth, give it all for the sake of Allah

দে যাকাত মুর্দা মুসলিমের আজ ভাঙাইতে নিঁদ
De Jakat murda muslimer aaj bhangaitte nind

তোর প্রেম দিয়ে কর বিশ্ব নিখিল ইসলামে মুরিদ
Tor prem diye kor bishwa nikhil islam-e murid

Jara jibon bhore rakheche roja, nityo upabasi

ঢাল হৃদয়ের তোর তশ্ তরিতে শির্নি তৌহিদের
Dhal hridoyer tor tosh tarite shirni tauhider
Offer your heart the gift of tauhid (monotheism)

তোর দাওয়াত কবুল করবে হজরত, হয় মনে উম্মীদ
Tor dawat kabul korbe hozrot, hoy mone ummid
Holy Prophet will accept your invitation, hope arises in the heart
