Pakistani singer Ali Zafar has paid a rich tribute to women with his poem Aurat on International Women’s Day.
Ali Zafar took to Instagram and shared a video wherein the singer could be seen playing piano and reciting the lyrics of the poem Aurat.
He captioned the video “Aurat- a tribute. #happywomansday #poetry #urdupoetry #aurat #woman.”
The lyrics of the poem are as under:
“Khilti huee subha ka, komal sa roop ho tum
Your beauty as soft as the morning glow;
Kabhi madham madham chandni, kabhi teekhi dhoop ho tum
Your light as soft as the subtle moonlight, as strong as the shining sun;
tum nahin mere saath, to meri haesiat kya hai
If you’re not with me, what am i capable of?
Batlao tumhaare ishq ki, ye kafiat kya hai?
Tell me of this condition when I am in love with you?
Ae aurat, tum be misl ho tumhein pohanche mera salam
O woman…there is no other like you, accept my humble praise for you;
Meri rooh tumhaari sultanat, mera dil hai tera ghulam
You’re the ruler of my spirit, my heart forever your slave."
