Shaheen, The Eagle

Jhapatna, Palatna, Palat Kar Jhapatna

Lahoo Garam Rakhne Ka Hai Ek Bahana

To swoop, withdraw and swoop again

Is only a pretext to keep up the heat of the blood.

Prindon Ki Dunya Ka Dervaish Hun Mein

Ke Shaheen Banata Nahin Ashiyana

I am the dervish of the kingdom of birds—

The eagle does not make nests

Bayaban Ki Khalwat Khush Ati Hai Mujh Ko

Azal Se Hai Fitrat Meri Rahbana

The solitude of the wilderness pleases me—

By nature I was always a hermit—

Khayabanion Se Hai Parhaiz Lazim

Adaen Hain In Ki Bohat Dilbarana

One must shun the garden‐dwellers—

They have such seductive charms!

Hawa-e-Bayaban Se Hoti Hai Kari

Jawan Mard Ki Zarbat-e-Ghaziyana

The wind of the desert is what gives

The stroke of the brave youth fighting in battle its effect.

Shaheen, The Eagle
