As the evening descends over the banks of the sunny heat
Where the two moments of the time mingle
Neither the night nor the day, neither today nor tomorrow
Everlasting a moment, up in smoke the next
These showers of sunlight, but for just a moment or two
These quivers of lips
These jingles of arms
This union of ours, may it be a lie or a truth
Need we cause a fray, need we hurl a blame?
For what reason, need we speak in falsities?
When in the oceans of your eyes
This evening’s sun plunges
Lords and the people will sleep with contentment
And the sojourner resumes his journey

So I came up with this

This shore of sunlight where evening sets,
vertex of the twins of time -
not day nor night, not today nor ‘morrow -
eternal instant, in a flash sublimes.
Moments on this shore of light,
the leaping lips,
the clink of arms,
our togetherness not false nor true.
Why muffle it? Why talk of blame?
Why indulge in trifling games?
When this evening’s sun shall set
in your ocean eyes
and the households sleep content
the wanderlust shall wave goodbye.

Then the version by Bilal was looked at, which I copy-and-paste using the given pdf-link, for those lazy/without a fast network connection. (I hope this is not a violation of any copyright laws in which case the comment may please be removed).

This shore of sunlight on
The slopes of evening,
This meeting of times:
Not day or night
Not today or tomorrow
In a moment eternal, in a moment fume
Moments on this shore of light
The spark of lips
The clink of arms
Our intimacies,
Not lies, not truths
Why should I secret this, why should I blame?
For what should I lie:
When in your ocean eyes
This evening’s sun shall set
The home shall find its sleep
And the traveler will walk his way

-Faiz Ahmed Faiz (Translation by Bilal Tanweer)

It seems everyone is basically using the same words…
More proof of the vagaries of translation.
