Last Night Poem by Vikram Seth
Last Night
Last night your faded memory came to me
As in the wilderness spring comes quietly,
As, slowly, in the desert moves thew breeze,
As to a sick man, without cause, comes peace
[Original: Urdu, Translated by: Faiz Ahmed Faiz]
रात यूँ दिल में तेरी खोई हुई याद आयी जैसे वीराने में चुपके से बहार आ जाये जैसे सेहराओं में हौले से चले बाद-ए-नसीम जैसे बीमार को बेवजह करार आ जाए (फ़ैज़ अहमद फ़ैज़) Beautiful translation of a great poem from Faiz.
