bosa-e-khaal-e-lab-e-jaanaan
ki kaifiyat na poochh

nasha-e-afyoon hua
ask me not of the ecstasy of
kissing the mole on my beloved's lip
the rapture was greater than wine
it was like the trance of opium

vaaiz ki aankhen khul gayi
peete hi, saaqiya
ye jaam-e-mai tha ya koyi
dariya-e-noor tha?
soon as he sipped the wine, o cup-bearer,
the preacher was awakened
was that a goblet of wine, or
radiant river of light?

peeta hun woh mai
nasha utarta naheen jis ka
