Mohabbat (Bang-e-daara)

Uroos-e-Shab Ki Zulfain Theen Abhi Na-Ashna Kham Se
Sitare Asaman Ke Be-Khabar The Lazzat-e-Ram Se

As yet the tresses of the bride of night were not familiar with their graceful curls;
And the stars of heaven had tasted not the bliss of whistling motion through the depths of space.


Qamar Apne Libas-e-Nawa Mein Begana Sa Lagta Tha
Na Tha Waqif Abhi Gardish Ke Aaeen-e-Muslim Se

The moon in her new robes looked rather strange
And knew not revolution’s ceaseless law.
