Imelda May.
I do dig a tune in three-quarter time:

I heard her for the first time yesterday on the radio doing this song on her new album:
Black Tears (with Jeff Beck)

And then I went home and bought all her stuff on iTunes.
Oh man!

Should watch the movie again some time soon.
It was one of those songs I had heard before I had even started learning English and absolutely fell in love.

Ahmad Faraz listening to his own ghazal.

Enjoyed the video. The beauty of the poem sung with such a beautiful voice is quite enchanting - even without a knowledge of the Urdu language- from an article linked below.(an English translation would lose the aromatic flavor of the Urdu language here)

Interesting to me: Faraz has visited Newark, CA , a small community in the greater San Francisco Bay Area near Silicon Valley, where I attended high school.
Lastly -... I've noted my frustration with translations before and the quote most eloquently sums up my loss.In conclusion one cannot help but feel that writing in English about who many consider the finest Urdu poetry writer alive today remains a difficult task. To the reader all I can add is that the flavor, the smell and the essence of the language is indeed almost impossible to translate but we have to continue to inform the world about the richness of our cultural heritage.
Thank you for your introduction !

So glad you enjoyed the song, Tailor Stately. Faraz is one of greatest poets of Urdu languge in Indian subcontinent. He wrote many forms of poetry like ghazals, nazm and kuliat.
Yes, you are right. It's almost impossible to translate Urdu poetry into English.
Here is another song with English and Urdu subtitles. I hope you'll enjoy that too.
