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
Dagh Dehlvi
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
Dagh Dehlvi
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
Dagh Dehlvi
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
Dagh Dehlvi
lipaT jate hain wo bijli ke Dar se
ilahi ye ghaTa do din to barse
by lightning scared, she clings to me
may two days,Lord, this weather be
Dagh Dehlvi
lutf-e-mai tujh se kya kahun zahid
hae kam-baKHt tu ne pi hi nahin
you've never drunk O hapless priest
The joys of wine how will you see
Dagh Dehlvi
milate ho usi ko KHak mein jo dil se milta hai
meri jaan chahne wala baDi mushkil se milta hai
those who meet you lovingly then into dust you grind
those who bear affection, dear, are very hard to find
Dagh Dehlvi
