(Bal-e-Jibril-176) Shaheen

Shaheen
The Eagle

Kiya Mein Ne Uss Khakdan Se Kinara

Jahan Rizq Kanaam Hai Aab-o-Dana

I have turned away from that place on earth

Where sustenance takes the form of grain and water.

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—
 Na Bad-e-Bahari, Na Gulcheen, Na Bulbul
Na Beemari-e-Naghma-e-Ashiqana

No spring breeze, no one plucking roses, no nightingale,

And no sickness of the songs of love!

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.

Hamam-o-Kabootar Ka Bhooka Nahin Main

Ke Hai Zindagi Baaz Ki Zahidana

I am not hungry for pigeon or dove—

For renunciation is the mark of an eagle’s life.
 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.

Ye Poorab, Ye Pacham Chakoron Ki Dunya

Mera Neelgun Asman Baikarana

East and West ‐these belong to the world of the pheasant,

The blue sky—vast, boundless—is mine!

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

Bayabaan ki khalwat khush aati hai mujhko
Azal hai fitrat meri rahibaana

Hawa-i-bayabaan se hoti hai kaari

Jawan mard ki zarbat ghaziyana

Jhapattna palattna palatt kr jhapattna

Lahu garam rakhne ka hai ik bahana

Ab complete hui ye poem :)

Being a falconer & Shaheen lover i want to correct that when we translate the name of Shaheen in English we should write "Falcon" not
"eagle"because eagle mean "Uqab" also "Baaz"in english is called "Hawk",these are three different species of Birds of Prey family & our
great Poet had mentioned all of them in his poetry. this is for the information of all those concerned.....Thanks & Regards...
