2 / 4: shikast
kyun mast-e-sharaab-e-aish-o-tarab
takleef-e-tawajjoh farmaayen
aawaz-e-shikast-e-dil hi to hai
aawaz-e-shikast-e-jaam nahin
why draw needless attention to
the joy and elation inspired by wine
that sound is only of the heart breaking
not that of the (wine) goblet breaking
1959: Sahitya Akademi

ajab junoon hai
ye intiqaam ka jazba
shikast kha ke woh
pani mein zahr Daal aaya

this thirst for revenge is
after being defeated,
he returned, poisoning the water
