dikha ke jumbish-e-lab hi tamam kar ham ko na de jo bosa to munh se kahin javab to de

with just the sight of moving lips, kill me, let me die if you don't kiss me with your lips, do at least reply the poet expresses an intense longing for the beloved to break their silence. while a kiss is the ultimate desire, the lover is willing to accept a mere verbal refusal, because the very act of the beloved moving their lips is so captivating that it is enough to 'finish' (overwhelm or kill) the lover with its beauty.

dhamka ke bose lunga rukh-e-rashk-e-mah ka chanda vasul hota hai sahab dabav se

bosa-e-rukhsar par takrar rahne dijiye lijiye ya dijiye inkar rahne dijiye

ek bose ke talabgar hain ham aur mangen to gunahgar hain ham

a kiss is all that i aspire for i would be guilty if i ask for more

bosa jo rukh ka dete nahin lab ka dijiye ye hai masal ki phuul nahin pankhudi sahi

the poet uses a clever and playful argument to negotiate with the beloved. by equating the face to a full flower and the lip to a mere petal, the lover suggests that a kiss on the lips is a modest compromise, citing the proverb that a part is acceptable if the whole is denied.

be-khudi men le liya bosa khata kiije muaaf ye dil-e-betab ki saari khata thi main na tha

bose apne ariz-e-gulfam ke la mujhe de de tire kis kaam ke

badan ka saara lahu khinch ke aa gaya rukh par vo ek bosa hamen de ke surkh-ru hai bahut

jis lab ke ghhair bose len us lab se 'shefta' kambakht galiyan bhi nahin mere vaste

those lips that others get to kiss alas on them i see not even curses or abuse are now assigned for me

bosa liya jo us lab-e-shirin ka mar gae di jaan ham ne chashma-e-ab-e-hayat par

dikha ke jumbish-e-lab hi tamam kar ham ko na de jo bosa to munh se kahin javab to de

bosa dete nahin aur dil pe hai har lahza nigah ji men kahte hain ki muft aae to maal achchha hai

the poet playfully exposes the calculating nature of the beloved, treating love like a marketplace transaction. the beloved desires the lover's heart (devotion) but refuses to pay the 'price' of a single kiss, thinking that acquiring such a valuable possession without cost is a profitable bargain.

ek bosa hont par phaila tabassum ban gaya jo hararat thi miri us ke badan men aa gai

kya qayamat hai ki aariz un ke niile pad gae ham ne to bosa liya tha khvab men tasvir ka

bosa jo talab main ne kiya hans ke vo bole ye husn ki daulat hai lutai nahin jaati

laja kar sharm kha kar muskura kar diya bosa magar munh ko bana kar

mil gae the ek baar us ke jo mere lab se lab 'umr bhar honton pe apne main zaban phera kiya

be-ginti bose lenge rukh-e-dil-pasand ke ashiq tire padhe nahin ilm-e-hisab ko

we shall kiss your beautiful face without counting your lover is unversed in the science of accounting

jis lab ke ghhair bose len us lab se 'shefta' kambakht galiyan bhi nahin mere vaste

those lips that others get to kiss alas on them i see not even curses or abuse are now assigned for me

bosa liya jo us lab-e-shirin ka mar gae di jaan ham ne chashma-e-ab-e-hayat par
