KHar-e-hasrat bayan se nikla
dil ka kanTa zaban se nikla

KHatir se ya lihaz se main man to gaya
jhuTi qasam se aap ka iman to gaya

for reasons of formality, I've chosen to believe
you have surely lost your faith when you so deceive

KHabar sun kar mere marne ki wo bole raqibon se
KHuda baKHshe bahut si KHubiyan thin marne wale mein

upon my death she stated to my rivals, if you please
may God spare the parted soul had many qualities

KHuda ki qasam us ne khai jo aaj
qasam hai KHuda ki maza aa gaya

when she swore on God today
I swear to God

KHub parda hai ki chilman se lage baiThe hain
saf chhupte bhi nahin samne aate bhi nahin

what coyness this is, to abide,a screen beside her face
which neither does she clearly hide nor openly display

ki tark-e-mai to mail-e-pindar ho gaya
main tauba kar ke aur gunahgar ho gaya

Dagh Dehlvi

koi chhinTa paDe to 'dagh' kalkatte chale jaen
azimabaad mein hum muntazir sawan ke baiThe hain

koi nam-o-nishan puchhe to ai qasid bata dena
taKHallus 'dagh' hai wo aashiqon ke dil mein rahte hain

kya iztirab-e-shauq ne mujh ko KHajil kiya
wo puchhte hain kahiye irade kahan ke hain
