Tanam farsooda jaa paara

A Qawwali is a sufi devotional song. A Qawwali can be classified into several categories:

• Hamd: A song in praise of Allah. Traditionally a Qawwali begins with a Hamd.
• Naat: A song in praise of Prophet Muhammad. A Hamd is followed by a Naat.
• Manqabat : A song in praise of Imam Ali.
• Marsiya: An elegy sung as lamentation over the death of much of Imam Husayn's family in the Battle of Karbala

I am writing down one of the most popular naats. The language is Persian. 

marhawa salle alla hastam sana khaane rasool

sad salaaam-e-man bazisne paak per jaane rasool

aye saba be pe ke mustaaka badar gaahe nabi

wo salaam dast basta peshe haiwanee rasool

(I am unable to find the meaning of above verses. I'll be grateful if anyone explains it to me.)

This naat is wriiten by Moulana Abd-ar-rahmaan Jaami.  Listen to Ustaad NFAK singing this naat.

 

Tanam Farsooda jaa para

Ze Hijra Ya Rasulullah

Dillam Paz Murda Aawara

Ze Isyaa. Ya Rasulullah!

( My body is dissolving in your separation

And my soul is breaking into pieces.

Due to my sins, My heart is weak and becoming enticed. Ya Rasulullah! )

Choon Soo’e Mun Guzar Aari

Manne Miskeen Zanaa Daari

Fida-E-Naqsh-E-Nalainat

Kunam Ja. Ya Rasulullah!

( When you pass by me

Then even in my immense poverty, ecstatically,

I must sacrifice my soul on your blessed sandal. Ya Rasulullah! ) 

Ze Jaame Hubb To Mustam

Ba Zanjeere To Dil Bustam

Nu’mi Goyam Ke Mun Bustum

Sukun Daa. Ya Rasulullah!

( I am drowned in the taste of your love

And the chain of your love binds my heart.

Yet I don’t say that I know this language (of love). Ya Rasulullah! )

Ze Kharda Khaish Hairaanam

Siyaa Shud Roze Isyaanam

Pashemaanam, Pashemaanam, Pashemaanam. Ya Rasulullah!  

( I am worried due to my misdeeds;

And I feel that my sins have blackened my heart.

I am in distress! I am in distress! I am in distress! Ya Rasulullah!)

Choon Baazoo’e Shafaa’at Raa

Khushaa’I Bar Gunaagara

Makun Mahruume Jaami Raa

Daraa Aan. Ya Rasulullah!

( When you spread your hands

to intercede for the sinners,

Then do not deprive Jaami of your

exalted intercession. Ya Rasulullah! )
