tanhai poem faiz ahmed faiz with english translation

Again someone has knocked at door,O’ my sad heart!

No-one, nobody, must be a traveller, will leave anyways for somewhere else.

The Night has descended, the cluster of stars has started to scatter

In the halls, lamps getting sleepy and wavering now.

Every road after a long wait has gone to sleep;

Dust of strange lands has disappeared the traces of footsteps.

Extinguish the candles, extend the wine and flagon and winecup,

Put a lock to your sleepless portals. Nobody, no one will knock at them now.

Faiz Ahmed Faiz.
