Yar mara (Rumi)

I need a lover and a friend

All friendships you transcend
And useless I remain
You are Noah and the Ark
You are the light and the dark
Behind the veil I remain
You are passion and are rage
You are the bird and the cage
Lost in flight I remain
You are the wine and the cup
You are the ocean and the drop
While afloat I remain
I said, "O Soul of the world
My desperation has taken hold!"
"I am thy essence," without scold,"
Value me much more than gold."
You are the bait and the trap
You are the path and the map
While in search I remain
You are poison and the sweet
You are defeated and defeat
Sword in hand I remain
You are the wood and the saw
You are cooked, and are raw
While in a pot I remain
Tu mera pyaar hai, tu hi mera yaar hai
beIntehan dosti, tujhse beshumar hai..
Wajood phir humara, na jane nabaad kyu hai?
Tu dhoop hai, tu hi chaanv hai,
Tu bhatke ko mila ek gaanv hai,
kyu pardo mein hain hum, aakhir ye naqaab kyu hai?
Tu josh hai, tu hi Khed hai
Tu panchi aazad bhi, aur tu hi kaid hai
Udaan me phir bhi hum, namuraad kyu hain?
Tu ras hai, tu hi pyala hai
Tu boond bhi, aur samundar bnke sab jagha faila hai,
kyu doobe nahi hum, sateh par barkaraar kyu hai?
Tujhe fasna hai, tu hi phanda hai
Tu rasta bhi, aur tu hi naksha hai,
Mujhe fir talaash, na jane tumhari kyu hai?
Tu jeher hai, tu hi meetha hai
Tune haraya bhi hai, aur tu hi haar hai
Na jane khali maidaan mein, mere hath talvaar kyu hai?

Tu savera hai, tu hi andhera hai,

Tujhe basna bhi hai, aur tu hi basera hai,
tu pyasa bhi hai, aur tu hi pani uthae hai
Phir bhi meri pyaas bin bujhae kyu hai?
Tera aakar hai, tu hi nirakaar hai,
Tu jla bhi hai, aur tu hi kacha hai,
Phir bhi mera man, gehre saaye se rubabru kyu hai?
Khusbue Tabrizi ki, Rumi failaae hue,
Kyu is "raag" mein, vairaag hi kyu hai?
You are sunshine and the fog
You are water and the jug
While thirsty I remain
Sweet fragrance of Shams is
The joy and pride of Tabriz
Perfume trader I remain.
