She holds your complete attention without any music for two whole minutes. That's the magic of these lyrics and her voice.

When I first heard this song originally sung by Iqbal Bano, an old video capturing the live performance in b&w, I never thought someone could even come close to singing the composition in such a way, but this version had enticed me equally, beautifully performed by Meesha Shafi.

[@jkhan5176]

The depth of her Voice, the clarity of pronunciation and richness of the music, she certainly made old Legends proud for this recreation.

[@ManjitSingh-yw4zf]

Who cares if it's urdu or Hindi or Punjabi but understand every word she sang. Wah wah Jaan laygi Yeh singer. Love you all who appreciate this song.

In the desert of my solitude, my love, quiver the shadows of your voice, the mirage of your lips In the desert of my solitude, from the ashes of the distance between us, bloom the jasmines, the roses of your touch From somewhere close by rises the warmth of your breath it smolders in its own perfume - gently, languorously Far away, on the horizon, glistens drop by drop, the dew of your beguiling glance With such tenderness, my love, your memory has placed its hand on the contours of my heart Even though this is the dawn of our farewell, it feels like the sun has set on our separation and the night of our union is at hand Translation :)

[@khawaja1951]

Very accurate translation of a difficult poem. Kudos! This poem is a great example of the beauty of Urdu. The soft " Noon" endings ( Jaane jahan etc ) and " azafat" ( dashte tanhai, khasokhaak etc) gives Urdu its characteristic power and beauty to describe delicate emotions associated with love.

The more I grow old, the more I realize just how good Faiz is and how complex and timeless his writing is. And Meesha, wow! Faiz is very hard to get right but how tremendously well has she sung this. This is where I fell in love with her. Her Urdu, they way she says Qatara for example is just❤❤. Finally Rohail and the team, are perfect as usual. What a composition! It highlights the beauty of the writing even more and brings the poetry, the words to the forefront. And I can't thank you enough for this! One of my all time favourites!!

[@abrarulhaque3412]

To whom it may concern..! Who so ever u are, if u love this song u r my buddy .

[@hyqhyp]

The subtitles are a bit wordy ... here is my attempt at translation: In the desert of solitude, o beloved, something moves The shade of your voice, mirage of your lips In the sand of separation, bloom roses of your presence Closeby, smoldering in your gentle perfume The blaze of your breath In the distance, glisten dew drops of your loving glance With such tenderness, o beloved, thoughts of you Caressed my heart, though tis but the dawn of separation As if the sun of farewell sets And the night of union arrives

[@shahthegreat1]

+hyqhyp i think ur translation of last masnavi is wrong it feels as if, even-though its still morning of separation, that sun of separation has set and night of union has arrived poets means that your imagination is so vivid it feels as if we are together however infact its just the beginning(morning) of seperation

[@hyqhyp]

Literal translation is never a good idea in poetry, and I have found this to be very dramatically true for Urdu poetry. Hence, I have taken licence with the way I have split the verse. I have also tried to use fewer words where possible, brevity is yet another critical feature of poetry that doesn't migrate across in literal translations. I have seen expert poetry translators do this (for example Umar Khayyam's poetry in best English translation is nothing like its literal original ... see www.okonlife.com/poems/page1.htm), though I am no expert at either poetry or the two languages. This is just my opinion, and in aesthetic matters personal taste of a nobody is worth about half a cent to others.

[@shahamhussain6709]

nevertheless you did a very good job. i really enjoyed your version of translation, it has a bit of feel of the song. Way better than the one that CS did. (Y)

You are mistaken. Urdu is not a language but Persian mixed with Hindi. It doesn't have its own vocabulary, script or grammar.

[@haleemulhassan9158]

Persian :). It is the original language that gives Urdu its beauty. Pure persian is extremely poetic and softer than urdu, because it doesnt have some of the harsh phonetics coming from Hindi and other subcontinental languages.

Yes you are right. This poem is written by Faiz Ahmed Faiz. His poetry consists alot of aesthetic sense and beauty.

I am a die hard Meesha fan - no questions - but - if you want to taste the real flavour of this Ghazal in all its verbal, expressional and elegant appeal with its complete grandeur listen to Iqbal Banoo's original number sung some 40~50 years ago - you will understand what I mean

[@drislam961]

I have Iqbal Banoo's singing this song many times.That was a different time but combination of modern musical instruments and Meesha's powerful voice is really unique.

[@mohammadbabar6979]

The masterpiece from Faiz Ahmad faiz is so good that you can listen to it a significant number and still the magic is there. The metaphors are just amazing. 1 year ago, In my urdu viva we were supposed to recite some poem or ghazal. After reading 'Koi ummeed nazar nahi aati' by Ghalib, I recited 'yaad' by Faiz Ahmad Faiz. I don't know how the invigilator felt, but I was in some other zone after that. Still remember that!!

ye ghazal kis bary ma h basically mjy smj ni aa rha

[@obaidullahbaig925]

یہ بات ہے جناب جذبات کو انتہاؤں تک پہنچا دینی والی فیض کی غزل، موسیقی اور آواز آپ اس جگہ پہنچا دیتے ہیں کہ بس وصل کی رات، واہ اوہ دل کھول کے رکھوا لیا صاحب۔

Dasht-e-Tanhai. Meesha Shafi (Lyrics With English Translation ) Dasht-e-tanhaai mein In the barren wasteland of loneness Ay jaan-e-jahaan larzaan hain O life of my world, tremulous are Dasht-e-tanhaai mein In the barren wasteland of loneness ay jaan-e-jahaan larzaan hain O life of my world, tremulous are teri aawaaz ke saaye Silhouettes of your voice tere hoton ke saraab Illusions of your lips Dasht-e-tanhaai mein In the barren wastelands of loneness doori ke khas o khaak tale Beneath the debris of being far from you khil rahe hain tere pahlu ke saman aur gulaab The lilies and roses from your side are blooming Dasht-e-tanhaai mein In the barren wastelands of loneness ay jaan-e-jahaan larzaan hain O life of my world, tremulous are teri aawaaz ke saaye Silhouettes of your voice tere hoton ke saraab Illusions of your lips Dasht-e-tanhaai mein In the barren wasteland of loneness doori ke khas o khaak tale Beneath the debris of remoteness khil rahe hain tere pahlu ke saman aur gulaab The lilies and roses from your side are blooming uth rahi hai kaheen qurbat se teri saans ki aanch Flickering up from somewhere nearby is the flame of your breath uth rahi hai kaheen qurbat se teri saans ki aanch Flickering up from somewhere nearby is the flame of your breath apni khushbu mein sulagti hui maddham maddham Smouldering in its own fragrance, slowly, softly door ufuq paar chamakti hui qatrah qatrah Sparkling far across the horizon, drop by drop gir rahi hai teri dil-daar nazar ki shabnam The dew of your heart-delighting glance is falling is qadar pyaar se ay jaan-e-jahaan rakkha hai So tenderly, O life of my world is qadar pyaar se ay jaan-e-jahaan rakkha hai So tenderly, O life of my world dil ke rukhsaar pih is waqt teri yaad ne haath Has your memory laid its hand on the cheek of my heart just now yoon gumaan hota hai garchih hai abhi subh-i firaaq It seems as if, though it is yet still the dawn of parting hal gaya hijr ka din aa bhi gayi wasl ki raat The day of separation is done and the night of union is already here Dasht-e-tanhaai mein In the barren wasteland of loneness ay jaan-e-jahaan larzaan hain O life of my world, tremulous are teri aawaaz ke saaye Silhouettes of your voice tere hoton ke saraab Illusions of your lips Dasht-e-tanhaai mein In the barren wastelands of loneness doori ke khas o khaak tale Beneath the debris of remoteness khil rahe hain tere pahlu ke saman aur gulaab The lilies and roses from your side are blooming NB :(Copied from web) i dont know urdu...
