ishq ka zauq-e-nazara muft mein badnam hai
husn KHud be-tab hai jalwa dikhane ke liye

love is needlessly defamed that for vision it is keen
beauty is impatient too for its splendour to be seen

mujh ko ye aarzu wo uThaen naqab KHud
un ko ye intizar taqaza kare koi

I had hoped she would unveil at her own behest
and she waits for someone to make a request

anda-parwar main wo banda hun ki bahr-e-bandagi
jis ke aage sar jhuka dunga KHuda ho jaega

so deep is my devotion, for this piety of mine
if I bow to anyone, he would become divine

didar ki talab ke tariqon se be-KHabar
didar ki talab hai to pahle nigah mang

ignorant of mores when seeking visions bright
if you want the vision, you first need the sight

wo kafir-nigahen KHuda ki panah
jidhar phir gain faisla ho gaya

those faithless eyes, lord's mercy abide!
wherever they turn, they deem to decide

aat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi
jaisi ab hai teri mahfil kabhi aisi to na thi

conversing has never been so diffficult for me
your company now is no more as it used to be

ulbul ko baghban se na sayyaad se gila
qismat mein qaid likkhi thi fasl-e-bahaar mein
