Thanks for your efforts for translating this ghazal for me. I agree with you that ghazals are harder to translate but I love ghazals and want to translate it to my friends in english. It is definitely a challenge. I have to correct you on some of the “big urdu” words. They are not urdo but farsi words. Urdu language was invented by Amir khusro from Hindi and Farsi.

Hekayatein= plural of story or stories or tales

aashna= acquaintance

beshtar= more or greater

barmala= public or notorious

bawafa- faithful

Wasl= union or joining

mubtala= suffering or affected

You posted your comments in the wrong posting. This is a ghazal in Urdu that I need the translation.

Madhuriji,

Manzoor tha parda tera part mean “my intention was to hide/conceal you ” Parda means veil but it also mean hide or conceal.

I am not sure of the movie name. It is pakistani song that was sang by Ustad Amanat Ali Khan in Raag Malkouns and taal is teental. I am pretty sure it is a pakistani movie made in early 70's but I have not seen it.

Madhuri,

What is the meaning of moorak?

I think the first anatara..second verse should be translated as ” because of these 7 notes that the world is not in ruin”

Thanks a lot Madhu.
