Ek ajnabee haseenaa se, yòò mulaaqaat ho gayee
Phir kyaa huaa ye naa poochho, kuchh aisee baat ho gayee
Wo achaanak aa gayee, yòò nazar ke saamne
Jaise nikal aayaa ghaṭaa se chaand
Chehre pe zulfe, bikhree huyee thee
Din mè raat ho gayee
Jaan-e-man jaan-e-jigar, hotaa mài shaayar agar
Kahtaa ghazal teree adaaò par
Maine ye kahaa to mujhse khafaa wo
Jaan-e-hayaat ho gayee
Khoobsoorat baat ye, chaar pal kaa saath ye
Saari umar mujhko rahegaa yaad
Mài akelaa thaa magar, ban gayee wo hamsafar
Wo mere saath ho gayee
I came across a beautiful stranger. Don’t ask what happened next, because something did happen.
She suddenly appeared in my view. as if the moon had broken out from the clouds. Her hair was spread over her face. It was as if night had descended in the daytime.
My dear, if I were a poet, I certainly would have read out poetry. When I told her so, She got cross with me.
That beautiful face, that companionship of a few moments, is something that I will remember throughout my life, I was alone, she joined me, and she became my companion.
