GHULAM ALI: GHAZAL MAESTRO:

SINGER: GHULAM ALI

POET : MEER TAQI MEER

12) PATTA PATTA BOOTA BOOTA

(Pattaa-pattaa buutaa-buutaa haal hamaaraa jaane hai)2
Every leaf, every sapling knows my state
Jaane na jaane gul hii na jaane, baagh to saaraa jaane hai
Only the rose does not know, the rest of the garden knows
Pattaa pattaa jaane hai
Every single leaf knows

(Chaaraagarii biimaarii-e-dil kii rasm-e-shahar-e-husn nahiin)2
Roaming the streets where your lover lives is not a cure for heartache
Varnaa dilabar-e-naadaan bhii is dard kaa chaaraa jaane hai
Otherwise even the simple-minded lovers would find the remedy

Jaane na jaane gul hii na jaane, baagh to saaraa jaane hai
Only the rose does not know, the rest of the garden knows
Pattaa pattaa jaane hai
Every single leaf knows

(Mehar-o-vafaa-o-lutf-o-inaayat ek se vaaqif in mein nahiin)
Love, loyalty, pleasure, kindness, I have not known any of these
Aur to sab kuchh tanz-o-kanaayaa ramz-o-ishaaraa jaane hai
All the rest is irony, metaphor, symbols and insinuation

Jaane na jaane gul hii na jaane, baagh to saaraa jaane hai
Only the rose does not know, the rest of the garden knows
Pattaa pattaa jaane hai
Every single leaf knows

(Kyaa kyaa fitane sar par usake laataa hai maashuuq apanaa)2
What mischief the beloved does wreak upon
Jis bedil betaab-o-tavaan ko ishq kaa maaraa jaane hai
the poor, weak, smitten one that has fallen for her

Jaane na jaane gul hii na jaane, baagh to saaraa jaane hai
Only the rose does not know, the rest of the garden knows
Pattaa-pattaa buutaa-buutaa haal hamaaraa jaane hai
Every leaf, every sapling knows my state
Pattaa pattaa jaane hai
Every single leaf knows
