Thanks for posting this song. I heard this for 1st time.

[Droylsdenian]

I wish the lyrics were here too :(

Dear Droylsdenian,

What you want is to just place lyrics in description or some English translation of lyrics? First one would be easy, but translation would be quite difficult.

[Droylsdenian]

Would like it if lyrics were in the description - I have wonderful friends who speak Hindi/Urdu who would help with translation to english if I ask them politely

I'd love an mp3 of the song for my own personal pleasure too (hint hint)

[anwar4849]

I have added the lyrics in Description.

I will try to translate the lyrics into English; but it could take much time as it will not be too easy (for me).

I can send you the mp3 song. Can you provide me your e-mail address?

It's a beautiful song. But what does "kafir" here mean?

[anwar4849]

Very Interesting Question!!!

Actually word "Kafir" is used for different meanings in Urdu poetry. It is used for "beloved" and for "cruel" or "tyrant" also. Both these meanings are not the linguistic meanings of this word, but these are evolved through the tradition of Urdu poets. Linguistic meaning of kafir is, as you know, the "infidel" or "heathen" (one who does not acknowledge the God).

So here "kafir haseena" means "beloved beauty" and / or "cruel beauty".

Hope this clarifies...

[UmarAlLeithy]

Thanks! That clarifies a lot. I only started Urdu lessons two months ago or so. It's a beautiful language!

[anwar4849]

Yes! It's really a beautiful language.

If you have any queries about Urdu, you can ask from me any time my friend. I will be happy to help you, if I can.
