ulti ho gain sab tadbiren kuchh na dawa ne kaam kiya

ulti ho gaiin sab tadbiren kuchh na dava ne kaam kiya dekha is bimari-e-dil ne akhir kaam tamam kiya stratagems all came apart, no cure could render remedy it was this ailment of my heart, that finished me off finally ahd-e-javani ro ro kaata piiri men liin ankhen muund yaani raat bahut the jaage subh hui aram kiya copious tears, in youth i shed, in dotage shut eyes tiredly night i stayed away from bed, come morning now lie peacefully harf nahin jan-bakhshi men us ki khubi apni qismat ki ham se jo pahle kah bheja so marne ka paighham kiya 'tis my fate that's inclement, no fault is of her clemency message that she earlier sent, happened to be a death decree nahaq ham majburon par ye tohmat hai mukhtari ki chahte hain so aap karen hain ham ko abas badnam kiya us weak, she wrongfully accuses, of taking untold liberty while she acts as she chooses, and maligns us needlessly saare rind aubash jahan ke tujh se sujud men rahte hain banke tedhe tirchhe tikhe sab ka tujh ko imaam kiya all drunks and vagabonds that be, of the world submit to thee crooked, crafty, bent, shifty, their leader all they deem you be sarzad ham se be-adabi to vahshat men bhi kam hi hui koson us ki or gae par sajda har har gaam kiya even in a maddened state, irreverent i could not be miles i went towards her gate, kowtowing incessantly kis ka kaaba kaisa qibla kaun haram hai kya ehram kuche ke us ke bashindon ne sab ko yahin se salam kiya what is mecca's mosque and say who is concerned with piety in her street who choose to stay, bow from here itself you see shaikh jo hai masjid men nanga raat ko tha mai-khane men jubba khirqa kurta topi masti men inaam kiya the priest nude in the mosque today, last night in the tavern he gave all his pious clothes away, whilst on a drunken spree kaash ab burqa munh se utha de varna phir kya hasil hai aankh munde par un ne go didar ko apne aam kiya if her face she would unveil,whilst alive i chanced to be if later then to what avail, if her face then all could see yaan ke sapid o siyah men ham ko dakhl jo hai so itna hai raat ko ro ro subh kiya ya din ko juun tuun shaam kiya in this play of black and white,'tis all i am allowed to be bring in the dawn, crying all night, spend dawn to dusk in agony subh chaman men us ko kahin taklif-e-hava le aai thi rukh se gul ko mol liya qamat se sarv ghhulam kiya perchance the morning breeze had paved her journey to the bower the cypress by her form enslaved, and by her face the flower saad-e-simin donon us ke haath men la kar chhod diye bhule us ke qaul-o-qasam par haae khayal-e-kham kiya both her silver wrists i held in my hands then set them free how her promises dispelled my senses, made a fool of me kaam hue hain saare zaaea har saaat ki samajat se istighhna ki chauguni un ne juun juun main ibram kiya all my efforts were annuled by my beseeching constantly her indifference just quadrupled, the more i sought insistently aise ahu-e-ram-khurda ki vahshat khoni mushkil thi sehr kiya eajaz
