sarakti jae hai ruKH se naqab aahista aahista
nikalta aa raha hai aaftab aahista aahista
the veil slips from her visage at such a gentle pace
as though the sun emerges from a cloud's embrace
Ameer Minai
sau sher ek jalse mein kahte the hum 'amir'
jab tak na sher kahne ka hum ko shuur tha
Ameer Minai
shaer ko mast karti hai tarif-e-sher 'amir'
sau botalon ka nashsha hai is wah wah mein
Ameer Minai
wasl ho jae yahin hashr mein kya rakkha hai
aaj ki baat ko kyun kal pe uTha rakkha hai
Ameer Minai
wo aur wada wasl ka qasid nahin nahin
sach sach bata ye lafz unhin ki zaban ke hain
Ameer Minai
wasl mein KHali hui ghair se mahfil to kya
sharm bhi jae to main jaanun ki tanhai hui
so what if all my rivals from the gathering have gone
when her coyness too departs will we be then alone
Ameer Minai
wasl ka din aur itna muKHtasar
din gine jate the is din ke liye
Ameer Minai
wae qismat wo bhi kahte hain bura
hum bure sab se hue jin ke liye
Ameer Minai
us ki hasrat hai jise dil se miTa bhi na sakun
DhunDne us ko chala hun jise pa bhi na sakun
The one that I desire, this heart cannot displace
The one who is unattainable I seek to embrace
Ameer Minai
