Sher of Siraj Lakhnavi
āñkheñ khulīñ to jaag uThīñ hasrateñ tamām
us ko bhī kho diyā jise paayā thā ḳhvāb meñ
as my eyes did ope my yearnings did rebound
for I lost the person who in my dreams I found
aankhen khulin to jag uThin hasraten tamam
us ko bhi kho diya jise paya tha KHwab mein
as my eyes did ope my yearnings did rebound
for I lost the person who in my dreams I found
