aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
ḳhuub parda hai ki chilman se lage baiThe haiñ
saaf chhupte bhī nahīñ sāmne aate bhī nahīñ
what coyness this is, to abide,a screen beside her face
which neither does she clearly hide nor openly display
KHub parda hai ki chilman se lage baiThe hain
saf chhupte bhi nahin samne aate bhi nahin
bhāñp hī leñge ishāra sar-e-mahfil jo kiyā
tāḌne vaale qayāmat kī nazar rakhte haiñ
bhanp hi lenge ishaara sar-e-mahfil jo kiya
taDne wale qayamat ki nazar rakhte hain
ham ko ma.alūm hai jannat kī haqīqat lekin
dil ke ḳhush rakhne ko 'ġhālib' ye ḳhayāl achchhā hai
hum ko malum hai jannat ki haqiqat lekin
dil ke KHush rakhne ko 'ghaalib' ye KHayal achchha hai
vo aks ban ke mirī chashm-e-tar meñ rahtā hai
ajiib shaḳhs hai paanī ke ghar meñ rahtā hai
wo aks ban ke meri chashm-e-tar mein rahta hai
ajib shaKHs hai pani ke ghar mein rahta hai
tar-dāmanī pe shaiḳh hamārī na jā.iyo
dāman nichoḌ deñ to farishte vazū kareñ
do not be deceived by it damp disposition
if I wring my cloak, angels will do ablution
tar-damani pe shaiKH hamari na jaiyo
daman nichoD den to farishte wazu karen
