"Yahaan/ This Place" (Beautiful Gilgit-Baltistan) by Shafqat Amanat Ali

YAHAAN
Manzar mile ga na yeh kaheen pe
Dekhna ho jannat ko zameen pe
Aa jao
Dekho yahaan
Qudrat ke karishmay yahaan

THIS PLACE
This idyll you will not find anywhere
If you want to see a piece of heaven on earth
Heavens open their doors right here
Come
Experience this place
Nature's wonders dwell in this place

Ek baar jo aye
DIl yahaan reh jaye
Jana chahe na phir
Yahaan se

He who comes here once
Leaves his heart behind
And never wants to leave
This place

Phoolon ki shahzaadi
Muskuraye yahaan
Angrayi leti bahaarein
Bhi mileingi yahaan
Tum aao, chahe jiss se milo
Rehta hai har mausam yahaan

The fairy princess of flowers
Smiles upon this place
The seductive turnings of Spring
You will (also) find in this place
Come , and meet everyone who lives in this place
Every season in nature (too) lives in this place


Raat ki kya kahein hum
Taaron [e rakh ke qadam
Badlon ki shaal orhe
Vadi mein ho jayein gum
Chalte rahein, buss chalte rahein
Le jaye yeh rasta jahaan

And what shall we say about the night
Stepping on a sheet of stars,
Wearing a veil of clouds.
We can disappear in the valleys
Let's walk away and keep on walking
To wherever these paths lead us

Jitni haseen vadiyaan hain
Dil bhi utne haseen
Aise dil, aise chehray
Na milenge kaheen
Chehray haseen, manzar haseen
Aur pyari si hain boliyaan

As beautiful as the valleys
Is every heart beating here
Beautiful hearts, beautiful faces
You will not find (this) anywhere else
Beautiful faces, beautiful sights
(And) the soothing beauty of their sounds

Ek baar jo aye
DIl yahaan reh jaye
Jana chahe na phir
Yahaan se

He who comes here once
Leaves his heart behind
And never wants to leave
This place.
