    us bazm meñ mujhe nahīñ bantī hayā kiye

    baiThā rahā agarche ishāre huā kiye

    I couldn't chance at bashfulness, there in her company

    though signaled to get up and leave, stayed sitting stubbornly

    dil to hai siyāsat-e-darbāñ se Dar gayā

    maiñ aur jā.ūñ dar se tire bin sadā kiye

    Tis just a heart, so it got scared then by your sentry's clout

    else I from your doorstep depart sans even calling out?

    rakhtā phirūñ huuñ ḳhirqa o sajjāda rahn-e-mai

    muddat huī hai dāvat āb-o-havā kiye

    I for a draught of wine do my possessions seek to pawn

    has ages been since to a feast of drinking I have gone

    be-sarfa guzartī hai ho garche umr-e-ḳhizr

    hazrat bhī kal kaheñge ki ham kyā kiyā kiye

    it wasted then would surely be, if Khizr's lifespan obtained,

    will himself wonder and query well what have I attained?

    maqdūr ho to ḳhaak se pūchhūñ ki ai la.iim

    ne vo ganj-hā-e-garāñ-māya kyā kiye

    if had capacity would ask the earth O miser say

    what have you done with all those precious treasures come your way

    kis roz tohmateñ na tarāshā kiye adū

    kis din hamāre sar pe na aare chalā kiye

    pray when did not my enemies with pointed barbs accuse

    which day upon my head were not, say, sharpened saws in use

    sohbat meñ ġhair na paḌī ho kahīñ ye ḳhū

    dene lagā hai bosa baġhair iltijā kiye

    I hope she hasn't learnt this form, at my rival's behest

    she's started giving kisses now, with nary a request

    zid hai aur baat magar ḳhū burī nahīñ

    bhūle se us ne saikḌoñ va.ade vafā kiye

    her nature, stubbornness apart, is not bad, I am thrilled

    she in her absent-mindedness, has several vows fulfilled

    'ġhālib' tumhīñ kaho ki milegā javāb kyā

    maanā ki tum kahā kiye aur vo sunā kiye

    you think her response you'll receive? do tell me truthfully

    though I agree while you beseeched, she listened carefully

    us bazm mein mujhe nahin banti haya kiye

    baiTha raha agarche ishaare hua kiye

    I couldn't chance at bashfulness, there in her company

    though signaled to get up and leave, stayed sitting stubbornly

    dil hi to hai siyasat-e-darban se Dar gaya

    main aur jaun dar se tere bin sada kiye

    Tis just a heart, so it got scared then by your sentry's clout

    else I from your doorstep depart sans even calling out?

    rakhta phirun hun KHirqa o sajjada rahn-e-mai

    muddat hui hai dawat aab-o-hawa kiye

    I for a draught of wine do my possessions seek to pawn

    has ages been since to a feast of drinking I have gone

    be-sarfa hi guzarti hai ho garche umr-e-KHizr

    hazrat bhi kal kahenge ki hum kya kiya kiye

    it wasted then would surely be, if Khizr's lifespan obtained,

    will himself wonder and query well what have I attained?

    maqdur ho to KHak se puchhun ki ai laim

    tu ne wo ganj-ha-e-garan-maya kya kiye

    if had capacity would ask the earth O miser say

    what have you done with all those precious treasures come your way

    kis roz tohmaten na tarasha kiye adu

    kis din hamare sar pe na aare chala kiye

    pray when did not my enemies with pointed barbs accuse

    which day upon my head were not, say, sharpened saws in use

    sohbat mein ghair ki na paDi ho kahin ye KHu

    dene laga hai bosa baghair iltija kiye

    I hope she hasn't learnt this form, at my rival's behest

    she's started giving kisses now, with nary a request

    zid ki hai aur baat magar KHu buri nahin

    bhule se us ne saikDon wade wafa kiye

    her nature, stubbornness apart, is not bad, I am thrilled

    she in her absent-mindedness, has several vows fulfilled

    'ghaalib' tumhin kaho ki milega jawab kya

    mana ki tum kaha kiye aur wo suna kiye

    you think her response you'll receive? do tell me truthfully

    though I agree while you beseeched, she listened carefully
