Zehal e Miskeen Makun Tagaful :: Hazrat Ameer Khusro
Zehaal e miskeen makun taghaful, Duraye naina banaye batiyan Ke taab e hijran nadaram ay jaan, Na leho kahe lagaye chatiyan //Do not overlook my misery, by blandishing your eyes and weaving tales //My patience has over brimmed, O sweetheart! Why do you not take me to your bosom Shaban e hijran daraz chun zulf, Wa roz e waslat cho umer kotah Sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun, To kaise katun andheri ratiyan //Long like curls in the night of separation short like life on the day of our union //My dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night without your face before Yakayak az dil do chashm e jadu, Basad farebam baburd taskin Kisay pari hai jo ja sunave, Piyare pi ko hamari batiyan Suddenly, using a thousand tricks the enchanting eyes robbed me of my tranquil mind Who would care to go and report this matter to my darling Cho shama sozan cho zaraa hairan, Hamesha giryan be ishq an meh Na nind naina na ang chaina, Na aap aaven na bhejen patiyan Tossed and bewildered, like a flickering candle,
