sair-e-charaghhan kiye hue lament longs that from my breath may sparks of fire flow lts been a while since on a journey, of lights i did go phir pursish-e-jarahat-e-dil ko chala hai ishq saman-e-sad-hazar namak-dan kiye hue love proceeds to console my wounded heart again while carrying with it quantities of salt for to rub in phir bhar raha huun khama-e-mizhgan ba-khun-e-dil saz-e-chaman tarazi-e-daman kiye hue the quill of my eyelashes i, dip in my blood anew for to decorate my vest in the flower's form and hue baham-digar hue hain dil o diida phir raqib nazzara o khayal

is eager for a customer to find offering up all the wealth of heart, life and mind daude hai phir har ek gul-o-lala par khayal sad-gulsitan nigah ka saman kiye hue my thoughts do flit at every beauty, tulip be or rose a hundred gardens in my eyes, find easy repose phir chahta huun nama-e-dildar kholna jaan nazr-e-dil-farebi-e-unvan kiye hue again i'd like to unseal the missive from my lover my

dark, strewn across her face seductively chahe hai phir kisi ko muqabil men aarzu surme se tez dashna-e-mizhgan kiye hue wishes want "that someone" to, be face to face with me the daggers of her
