Mere shauq da...Ghalib's original ghazal
Jamil Ahmad
The original Farsi ghazal by Ghalib, which has been translated by Sufi
Tabassum and sung by Ghulam Ali, and also by Mehdi Hassan (if I recall
correctly), follows. I don't know which ash'aar have been translated
or sung, so if you could post the Punjabi version, I would appreciate
it. I will attempt to translate the ghazal, to the extent that I
understand it. Some ash'aar are not very clear to me, but I'll try.
Corrections are welcome.

Jamil Sahib:
I can't begin to describe how happy you have made me! I have been looking
for this ghazal since late seventies. I came home to your post and voila!
here it is. I feel like (allow me a bit of hyperbole:-))

jaise biimaar ko be-vajah qaraar aa jae
Here is the ghazal in Panjabi. I only have four asha'ar (with the matlaa)
and would appreciate your comments:
mere shauq da nahiiN aitbaar teN nuuN aa jaa vekh meraa intezaar aa jaa
aiNveN laRan b'haane labhnaa iiN, kii tuu sochanaa iiN sitamgaar aa jaa

Vijay Sahib,
When talking of the effect that Ghalib's poetry has on
"sukhan-shinaasaaN", it is difficult to avoid hyperbole, and what
better way to express it than in the words of that other master,
Faiz!!!
Thanks so much for the Panjabi ghazal. It has two extra ash'aar that
were not there in what I had posted, so I looked for them and
fortunately did find them.
First of all, I must correct an error I had made in my earlier
posting. The first line had the word "baavar" (belive) missing. The
correct she'r is:
za man gar-at na-bavad BAAVAR intezaar be'aa
bahaana jooe mabaash va sateeza-kaar be'aa
[agar maire intizaar ka yaqeen nahin karta to aa ja
bahaane na banaa aur jaldi aa ja]
> mere shauq da nahiiN aitbaar teN nuuN aa jaa vekh meraa intezaar aa jaa
> aiNveN laRan b'haane labhnaa iiN, kii tuu sochanaa iiN sitamgaar aa jaa
The translation of this she'r seems to be a bit free.
-------------------------------
The missing ash'aar are:
to tifl-e-saadah-dil o ham-nashin bad-aamooz-ast
janaaza gar na-tavaan deed, bar mazaar be'aa
[tu saad-dil bachcha hai aur tera saathi buri baat sikhaata hai
agar janaaza nahiN dekha to mazaar par aa]
> tuu saada te tera dil saadaa, teN nuuN aiNveN raqiib kuraah paaia
> je tuuN mere janaaze te nahiiN aaia, raah takdaa ii terii m'zaar aa jaa
----------------------------
ravaaj-e-soma'h-e-hastee-st zeenhaar ma-ro
mataa'e'maikadah mastee-st hushiyaar be'aa
['ibaadat-gaah ka ravaaj hastee (ego) hai, khabardaar mat ja
maikade ki daulat mastee hai, samajhdaari kar, aa ja]
> eh ravaaj ai masjidaaN maNdiraaN da, othe hastiiaaN te Khud parastiiaaN neN
> maiKhaane vicch mastiiaaN ii mastiiaaN neN, hosh kar ban ke hoshiaar aa jaa
-----------------------
The translation is superb. Except for a line or two, it is very
faithful to the original. The behr in the translation is much longer
than in the original, but then the translator needed extra words to
faithfully express the ideas.
--------
Vijay Sahib, your long search for the Farsi ghazal just underscores an
irony. Ghalib took great pride in his Farsi poetry as opposed to his
work in Urdu. He has said:
Farsi been ta ba-beeni naqsh-haa'-e- rang rang
ba-guzar az majmoo'-e-Urdu keh be-rang-e-man ast
[Farsi ko dekho ta keh ranga rang naqsh dekho
maire Urdu ke majmoo'e ko chhoRo keh be-rang hai]
Muhammad Hussain Azad in Aab-e-Hayaat has dissmissively said something
to the effect; "Ghalib was primarily interested in writing poetry and
prose in Farsi, but since he has also published in Urdu, ... it is
necessary to mention him in this book."
As time passed, and Urdu-speaking population's knowledge of Farsi
declined, Ghalib's Persian works fell into obscurity. If you walk
into any large bookstore in Pakistan, you will probably not find any
of Ghalib's Persian books. As for the Iranians, except for specialist
scholars, no one has even heard of Ghalib. But there is comfort in
the fact that each new generation seems to appreciate Divan-e-Ghalib
more than the previous one.

Thanks once again Jamil Sahib for completing the ghazal. It is a tremendous
feeling to read the original of something I had adored in Panjabi for so
long!

I completely agree Jamil Sahib. Translation has to produce an effect, a mood
in another language, that maynot be slavish to the word, but has to be true
to the spirit. In this sense, Mustafa Tabbasum has done a truly wonderful
job. He has produced close to how this ghazal would have appeared if it was
conceived in Panjabi. i.e. IMHO of course.

Later, though, it seems Ghalib did commit himself more exclusively to Urdu.
Miir also is known to have favored writing poetry in reKhta to Faarsii. In
Lucknow, he apparently once declined to recite his poetry stating that
locals would not appreciate his poetry. When someone pointed out that Miir
Sahib, we are all well versed in Faarsi (not to say Urdu), Miir supposed to
have replied sarcasticaly something to the effect: "exactly my point".
Ghalib, of course, as you will well know, also wrote:
jo yeh kahe ke reKhta kyuuN ki ho rashk-e-faarsii
gufta-e-ghalib aik baar paRh kar use sunaa, ke yuuN!
I may be wrong on this account, but only Urdu poet who is respected in
Persia for his Faarsii shaairi is Allama Iqbal, more for his falsfa perhaps
than for the poetry itself. Then there are also the rumours that most of
Ghalib is a plagiarisation of Bedil. Maybe true, but what plagiarisation!!
I have gone a bit off topic but now that we know of your scholarship in
Faarsii, it will be intersting to hear your views.
With gratitude,

yeh pehla misra' maire liye hamesha mu'amma tha. aap ke likhe hue
ma'ni se tazabzub zara kam hua hai, magar phir bhi is meN mushkil pesh

"aayega". Kia yah zaroorat-e-she'ri (or poetic license) thi?

aap ka diya hua tarjuma zayaada jaame' hai. maiN ne bas lafzi tarjume

mairi naacheez raa'e meN yeh "-at" arabi ka (referring to third person
feminine) nahiN, balkeh Farsi ka (tujhe, tera) hai. guzaarad = chhoRe
ga (guzaashtan, masdar se). guzaarad-am = mujhe chhoRe ga, guzaarad-at
= tujhey chhoRe ga, vaghaira vaghaira.
vasl-at, ya vasal-at (vuh pohNchi) ki aur baat hai, chooNkeh vasl
arabi ka lafz hai, vasal-at kehna jaa'iz hai. magar aap arabi aur
farsi ko makhloot nahiN kar sakte. guzarad farsi ka lafz hai, arabi
ka nahiN. ho bhi nahiN sakta, kioNkeh arabi meN "gaaf" hai hi nahiN.
Is liye aap is ke saath arabi ki tarkeeb nahiN laga sakte, jaise aap
Urdu men ghar-am (maira ghar) nahiN keh sakte, magar khaana-am darust
hai.
ab aik do lafz hijje ke baare meN bhi likh dooN. Pehle to yeh
poochhooN ga keh aap ki post men - aur _ men (ya'ni hyphen aur
underscore meN) kia farq hai?
MaiN ne jo kha(w)ahi ko yooN ikha hai, vuh is liye ke "vav" (w) silent
hai. Is ke 'ilaavah, jahaan tak mujhe 'ilm hai, farsi meN "noon
ghunna" (nasal N) aur aam noon aik hi tarah likha jaata hai, nuqte ke
saath. is liye main ne donoN ko "n" hi likha hai.

I wish I could convey your gratitude to Vijay and Jamil saaHibaan. The former hasn't participated here for some time now but, I am reliably informed, he is well. As for Jamil saaHib, I am sorry to inform you that he passed away about a year ago and he is sadly missed.
Here are links to two more threads on the topic of Sufi Tabassum's Punjabi translation of Ghalib's Persian Ghazal.
