kuchh der fikr aalam-e-baala ki chhoD do
is anjuman ka raaz isi anjuman mein hai
thoughts of paradise for a while do leave aside
the secrets of this life do in this world reside
Asar Lakhnavi
ye sochte hi rahe aur bahaar KHatm hui
kahan chaman mein nasheman bane kahan na bane
i kept contemplating, spring came and went away
where in the garden should I make my nest today
Asar Lakhnavi
KHuda ki den hai jis ko nasib ho jae
har ek dil ko gham-e-jawedan nahin milta
this is a gift from God, the blessed are bestowed
not on every heart is this eternal ache endowed
Asar Sahbai
chala jata hun hansta khelta mauj-e-hawadis se
agar aasaniyan hon zindagi dushwar ho jae
I go laughing playing with waves of adversity
If life were to be easy, unbearable it would be
Asghar Gondvi
ek ada ek hijab ek shoKHi
nichi nazron mein kya nahin hota
all, shyness, mischief and coquetry
in her lowered glance, are there to see
Asghar Gondvi
niyaz-e-ishq ko samjha hai kya ai waiz-e-nadan
hazaron ban gae kabe jabin main ne jahan rakh di
o foolish priest the offering of love you do not know
a thousand mosques did appear wherever I did bow
Asghar Gondvi
zahid ne mera hasil-e-iman nahin dekha
ruKH par teri zulfon ko pareshan nahin dekha
the priest has seen my piety, he hasn't seen your grace
he has not seen your tresses strewn across your face
Asghar Gondvi
