A Quatrain -- Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Last night, somehow, you slipped into my lost memories.
Like the spring in the outback coming quietly,
Like the morning breeze in the desert blowing gently,
Like an ailing man getting well unknowingly.

*****
Original in Urdu

Raat yunh dil mein teri khoee hui yaad aayee
Jaise veeraaney mein chupkey sey bahaar aa jaye
Jaisey sehra on mein howley se chaley baadey naseem
Jaisey beemaar ko bey wajhey Qaraar aa jaaye

~ Faiz Ahmed Faiz
