az roz saane dilbar myane.....

Listen, O loveliest

Sweetheart of mine

Stay here today !

 

The table is laid

And glasses filled

For you, my love.

 

Your lovely face

Has kindled love,

O, my Leila !

 

Guls display their robes

To tell the bulbuls

What love means.

 

Stay a while with me,

And hear the plaint

Of a virtuous beauty.

 

How would the flower know

The bulbul's agony

And the longing of love.

 

Age may wither

My love-lore feline,

But my love won't age.

 

With pure adoration,

The dew made for you

A garland of pearls.

I am destined

To bear separation,

And burn in fire.

 

All my adornment

With an endless wait

Is wasted away.

 

Along with Mahjoor,

As promised I dropped

All conventional ties.
