The Track "Ishq (Love and the Veil)" is taken from Niyaz second Album (Disc 1) "Nine Heavens" (2008). On their sophomore release, Niyaz continues to bridge the gap between traditional and modern world music. This double CD reveals a complex body of work. Nine Heavens features intricately carved new arrangements of traditional folk songs as well as original compositions utilizing mystical Sufi poems from Iran, the Indian sub-continent and Turkey. Listen and enjoy it.
LYRICS "Ishq (Love and the Veil" - Urdu poetry by Khwaja Mir Dard (18th century).
"If here we do not see thee imminent in they grace
Then it is fair to say we have seen nothing of this world
My heart is like crumpled bud
That none have yet seen bloom
What all haven't I seen within your love
What all haven't I seen within your love
Your indifference has wrought my ruin
Yet you never even glanced this way
The scars within have set me ablaze
Alas, you never came to see this sight
What all haven't seen within your love
I was the veil that hid the face of my beloved
Once awakened there was no longer a veil
Day and night it is him whom I seek
Him whom none have ever known or witnessed."
Urdu: (from Internet)
"Tujhi ko jo yaan jalwa farma na dekha
Baraabar hai duniya ko dekha na dekha
Mera ghuncha-e-dil hai woh dil-grifta
Ke jis ko kaso ne kabhi wa na dekha
Tere ishq mein ham ne
Tere ishq mein ham ne kya kya na dekha.
Taghaful ne tere yeh kuchh din dikhae
Idhar tu ne lekin na dekha
Kiya mujh ko daghon ne sarv-e-chiraghan
Kabho tu ne aakar tamaasha na dekha
Hijaab-e-rukh-e-yaar the aap hi ham
Khuli aankh jab, koi parda na dekha
Shab-o-roz ai Dard darpai hun uske
Kaso ne jise yaan samjha na dekha"
