YOUR MEMORY
Urdu poem by Faiz Ahmed Faiz
Translation - Sheshagiri hegde
Your memory kept coming back all night long
Moonlight kept paining my heart all night long
Now burning and now drowning a pale flame kept flickering all night long
A delicate fragrance kept changing its costume
Some painting on the wall kept humming all night long
again a gentle breeze under shade of flowers told stories all night long
Who didn't come, him a chain on the wall Upon every ring kept calling all night long
With faint hope my heart kept consoling
An unknown longing kept hurting all night long
