An outstanding ghazal by Faiz Ahmed Faiz that portrays the beauty of love and romance and the emotions that come with it, of separation, of fulfillment, of disappointment, of negotiating with one’s own thoughts and desires and more.
FAIZ AHMED FAIZ
shaam-e-firaaq ab na pooch, aayi aur aa ke tal gayi
dil tha ke phir bahal gaya, jaan thi ke phir sambhal gayi
Ask not of the night of separation; it came, and it passed away
My heart found a way to please itself again; life found a way to get back on track again
bazm-e-khayaal mein tere husn ki shama jal gayi
dard ka chaand bujh gaya, hijr ki raat dhal gayi
In the gathering (mehfil) of my thoughts, the candle of your beauty was lit
the moonlight of pain died down, the night of separation slipped away
jab tujhe yaad kar liya, subah mehak mehak uthi
jab tera gham jaga liya, raat machal machal gayi
Whenever you were remembered, the mornings became fragrant
when your pain was awakened, the nights grew restless
dil se to har muamla kar ke chale they saaf hum
kehne mein unke saamne, baat badal badal gayi
In my heart I had sorted all the issues before setting out
but when speaking before her, (my) words changed themselves
aakhir-e-shab ke humsafar, Faiz na jaane kya huey
reh gayi kis jagah sabaa, subah kidhar nikal gayi
What happened of the fellow-travelers at the end-of-the-night, Faiz?
At what crossroad did the breeze get left behind? And when did dawn disappear

Wish you had given the meaning of few words as well for easy understanding & total enjoyment .
Excellent way of rekindling the fire of poetry makes understanding complete
The first sher confuses you if it is analysed without the benefit of the next sher which provides the answer!
Otherwise isolating this sher appears to be objectionable since a lover’s heart can never accept any happiness in his remaining life after the beloved has died. The night of separation (shaam-e-firaaq ) for every genuine lover is worst that death. How can he ever conceive the situation that = dil tha ke phir bahal gaya, jaan thi ke phir sambhal gayi?
It is in the next two sher which follow Faiz clears this issue by telling the world of lovers that the only way one can pass the remaining balance of his life is by the help of fond memories. To remember & recall the beautiful & happy times spent with his beloved are the only source of providing some method to avoid frustration & distress due to absence of the beloved.
