Lagta Nahin Hai Dil Mera

लगता नहीं है दिल मेरा।(My heart finds no pleasure.) - Bahadur Shah Zafar This Ghazal was written by Bahadur Shah Zafar when he was in exile at Burma. His pain of being separated from his country and loved ones is clearly evident in this poem. He remained in Burma till his death and was buried there. He knew this fate of his which he brought in last two lines of this ghazal. During his lifetime he was admirer of poets and Mirza Ghalib was one of the poet of his court. Here I tried to translate this ghazal and hope that you will like my translation. लगता नहीं है दिल मेरा उजड़े दयार में, किस की बनी है आलम-ए-नपायदार में। Lagta nahin hai dil mera ujde dayaar mein, Kiski bani hai aalam-e-napayedaar mein. My heart finds no pleasure in this barren land, In this mortal world,fulfillment who has attained. कहदो इन हसरतों से कहीं और जा बसें, इतनी जगह कहाँ है दिल-ए-दाग़दार में। Kehdo in hasraton se kahin aur ja basein, Itni jagah kahan hai dil-e-daaghdaar...
