Nafees Nazm by Sandeep Silas ‘deep’ in Ranai-e-Khayal

 

Nafees Nazm (Pure Verse)

Don’t call out to me so much that I wear wings to fly

Don’t adorn your world so much that I loose myself

 

I am a mere shadow lying forgotten in the sand

Like the pandiculation of a tired traveller am I

 

Sit down beside me to hear once all that is in my heart

Will reveal all those wounds inflicted by Time upon me

 

How much have I to walk every day and how much far

I roam restless knowing not what is to be my destination

 

Why do you talk to me of cities unseen ?

When I am not in there, why does it seem a city to you?

 

Why do you ask the sea, the address of the shores?

With a lot of effort my friends I have lost myself

 

Since the time you met me, I have forgotten God

I keep on searching for Him now in your pure eyes
