Finding her heart’s destination, the beloved thanks the sweetheart.
I THANK YOU MY LOVE: a bilingual poem


I thank you my love that you
Have found me worth loving.
O my racing heart, slow down,
Here’s my destination.

You decided to love me.
I love your decision.
Can’t you read my gratefulness
In eyes that are downcast?

In begetting your love I
Have gotten both the worlds.
My happiness knows no bounds,
It’s almost heavenly.

We have found in each other
What we searched all this while.
Tempests need not scare me now.
For me you are the shore.

I am now so confident,
I wish someone today
Tells the sea and waves and winds
That you are my support.

The flame of your blazing love
Has so brightened my heart,
It seems a thousand trumpets
Are singing a love tune.

I am so grateful to you
That smilingly you have
Included me in your life
For now and for ever!

Aapki nazaro ne samjha, pyaar ke qaabil mujhe
Dil ki eh dhadhkan thhaher ja, mil gayi manzil mujhe
Aapki nazaro ne samjha…

Ji hame manzoor hai, aapka ye faisla (2)
Kehe rahi hai har nazar, banda-parwar shukriya
Hanske apani zindagi mein, kar liya shaamil mujhe
Aapki nazaro ne samjha…

Aapki manzil hu main meri manzil aap hain (2)
Kyu main toofaan se daru mera saahil aap hain
Koyi toofaano se keh de, mil gaya saahil mujhe
Aapki nazaro ne samjha…

Pad gayi dil par mere, aapki parchhaaiya (2)
Har taraf bajne lagi saikdo shehenaaiya
Do jahaan ki aaj khushiya ho gayi haasil mujhe
Aapki nazaro ne samjha…

00000000000000


आप की नज़रों ने समझा, प्यार के काबिल मुझे
दिल की ऐ धड़कन ठहर जा, मिल गई मंज़िल मुझे
आप की नज़रों ने समझा

जी हमें मंज़ूर है, आपका ये फ़ैसला - २
कह रही है हर नज़र, बंदा-परवर शुकरिया
दो जहाँ की आज खुशियाँ हो गईं हासिल मुझे
आप की नज़रों ने समझा ...

आप की मंज़िल हूँ मैं मेरी मंज़िल आप हैं - २
क्यूँ मैं तूफ़ान से डरूँ मेरे साहिल आप हैं
कोई तूफ़ानों से कह दे, मिल गया साहिल मुझे
आप की नज़रों ने समझा ...

पड़ गई दिल पर मेरी, आप की पर्छाइयाँ - २
हर तरफ़ बजने लगीं सैकड़ों शहनाइयाँ
हँसके अपनी ज़िंदगी में, कर लिया शामिल मुझे.
