About the author
A nazm by Sikandar Ali Wajd. It is a poem about a rainy night, in which the poet vividly describes the enchanting sight of fireflies suddenly lighting up a garden after the rain.
Summary
भावार्थ: बरसात की रात अंधेरी थी, बरसने के बाद बादल खुल गया था। बाग़ में अकेली जागी हुई थी - चमेली, जो फूलों से लदी हुई थी। मेरी नींद भी कुछ उचट गई थी और गुलशन (बाग़) की धूल-मिट्टी बारिश से धुल गई थी।
Meaning: it was a dark rainy night; after the rain fell, the clouds had cleared. Awake alone in the garden was the jasmine, laden with flowers. My own sleep had also been broken a little, and the garden's dust had been washed clean by the rain.
भावार्थ: जैसे ही हवा अपनी रौ (धारा) में चली, जुगनुओं की मानो बारिश होने लगी। अंधेरा इतना रोशन हो गया, जुगनू इस तरह उड़ रहे थे कि गोया फ़ज़ा (हवा/माहौल) की क़िस्मत ही चमक गई - फ़ितरत (प्रकृति) के हुस्न की एक बूँद टपक पड़ी हो। लगता था मानो सवेरा होने को है, और जुगनू हीरों की तरह जगमगा रहे थे।
Meaning: as soon as the breeze began to stir, it was as if a rain of fireflies started falling. The darkness grew so bright, the fireflies flew about in such a way, that it seemed the very fortune of the atmosphere had lit up - as if a drop of nature's beauty had trickled down. It seemed as though dawn were about to break, and the fireflies glittered like diamonds.
भावार्थ: अंधेरा (ज़ुल्मत) मानो मोती लुटा रहा था - जैसे परियों की बारात जगमगाते हुए गुज़र रही हो।
Meaning: the darkness seemed to be scattering pearls - as if a fairies' wedding procession were passing by in glittering splendour.
