Iqbal Bano sings Nizami Ganjavi (Persian Sufi poet, 1141-1209)

Mara ba ghamza kusht o qaza ra bahana sakht
Khud sooy e ma na deed o haya ra bahana sakht

Zahid na dasht tab e jamal e pari rukhan
Kunji girift o yad-e-khuda ra bahana sakht

Raftam ba masjidi ke babinam jamal-e dost
Dasti ba rukh kashid-o-dua ra bahana sakht

Daste ba dosh-e ghair nihade bar-e karam(Az-reh Karam))
Mara chun deed laghzish e pa ra bahana sakht

by Nizami Ganjavi: Persian Sufi poet, 1141-1209

Key Vocabulary:
Bahana: an excuse, a pretext
Sakht: strong
Zahid: an ascetic who takes on a life of poverty and isolates himself from the world, to concentrate on God through prayers, fasting and contemplation.

  3. The poet is unknown. Some argue that this is Mirza Qateel’s poem, which is incorrect. i did a little research and though radeef, kafia or zameen are the same but still that’s a totally different poem.

    Mirza Qateel’s poem goes like this –

    dar justujooi bood Sikandar lab e turaa
    bechaara shauq e aab e baqaa raa bahaana saaKht

    dar bazm e Ghair raft o mai az Khum ba-jaam kard
    dooram nishaand o tangi e jaa raa bahaana saaKht

    shab bar zameeN ze ‘aalam e masti nihaad sar
    baa maa sahar namaaz e ‘eshaa raa bahaana saaKht

    khoon-e? qateel-e be sar-o paa ra ba paa-e khwesh
    maleed aan nigar-o hina ra bahana sakht

    Mirza – as experts say- was born in 1760 (in Punjab, India somewhere) and died around 1820. which means he was not a 19th century poet. Accounts tell Mirza Ghalib didnt like Qateel’s poetry and always criticized him.

    I will post more on this after some more research.

  6. REf. Key Vocabulary. It is not Sakht (strong) but Saakht (made) from Saakhtan (to make). She killed me with ‘ghamza’ and made ‘qaza’ an excuse.
