Mera awal vi tu, mera akhir vi tu...

Songs could move you to tears. At least this one did . Poetry of complete submission. One of my favorites kafis . sung by Pakistani legend Pathanay Khan. Khan died in 2000, and but needless to say, lives on

Menda ishq wi tu menda yaar wi tu
My love as well as my beloved is you.
Menda deen wi tu eeman wi tu
My religion as well as my faith is you.
Menda jism wi tu meda rooh wi tu
My body as well as my soul is you.
Menda kalb wi tu jind jaan wi tu
My heart as well as my heartbeat is you
Menda bharm vee tu
My belief is also you.
Menda dharm vee tu
My religion is you.
Menda sharm vee tu
My shyness/decency is also you.
Menda shaan vee tu
My grandeur/glory is also you.
Menda dukh sukh roowan
My worries and relief, cries...
dard vee tu darmaan vee tu
pain as well as the cure is you,
Mendi khushian da asbaab vee tu
My source of happiness is also you.

Adhura hi rehne do isse,

Uljha he rehne do isse

Is aadhe se rishte ka

Koi naam to nahin,

maakam to nahin.

Bas ehsaas hai,

Garam hathelion ka.

Kabhi thandi barsaat ka.

Ehsaas tumhara,

Jo shayaad poora hua

to tumhara na rahe..

To adhura hi rehne do isse

Uljha hi rehne do isse.
