Delhi (India)
1 / 4: Shah Naseer
juun mauj haath maariye
kya bahr-e-ishq mein
saahil, 'naseer', duur hai
aur dam naheen raha
like a wave, for how long can i
swim in this ocean of love
the shore, 'naseer', is far away
and i have no breath left

2 / 4: Shah Naseer
koi ye shaikh se poochhe
ki band kar aankhen
muraaqabe mein
bata subh-o-shaam kya dekha
someone ask the holy man
as to what he saw
when he closed his eyes
in meditation from dawn to dusk

3 / 4: Shah Naseer
bosa-e-khaal-e-lab-e-jaanaan
ki kaifiyat na poochh
nasha-e-mai se zyaada
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

4 / 4: Shah Naseer
ki hai ustad-e-azal ne
ye rubaayi mauzoon
chaar unsoor se khule
maani-e-pinhaan ham ko
the unforgettable poet
has crafted this amazing couplet
in four lines she revealed
the concealed meaning (of life?)
