takhleeq-e-kayenaat ke
dilchasp jurm par
hansta to hoga aap bhi
yazdaan...kabhi kabhi
on the fascinating crime of
the creation of the universe
you too, oh god, must be
laughing...once in a while

dekha hai kis nigaah se
tu ne sitam-zarif
mahsoos ho raha hai

the way you threw your
glance at me, you tyrant
makes me feel like i am
drowning in wine
Abdul Hamid Adam (6)

aye gham-e-zindagi
na ho naaraaz
mujh ko aadat hai
muskuraane ki
oh sorrow of life
don’t be angry
it is my habit
to smile

drinking a little

saaqi, sharaab laa ki
tabiiyat udaas hai
mutrib, rubaab uTha ki

o saaqi, please bring some wine
the mood is melancholic
o musician, pick up the rubaab
the mood is melancholic
