Oh Majaz !!

तस्कीन-ए-दिल-ए महजूँ न हुई वो सई-ए-करम फ़रमा भी गए
इस सई-ए-करम को क्या कहिये, बहला भी गए, तड़पा भी गए
इस सई-ए-करम को क्या कहिये, बहला भी गए, तड़पा भी गए
[Wasn't even close to being satisfied, my heart, and she had left, showering favour
But what can be said of this heavenly favour, that caresses you but tortures too]
हम अर्ज़-ए-वफ़ा भी कर न सके, कुछ कह न सके कुछ सुन न सके
याँ हमने ज़बां ही खोली थी, वाँ आँख झुकी शर्मा भी गए
[Couldn't even express the love, I was rendered deaf and dumb
Just as I uttered the first syllables, those eyes fall and she shied away]
रुदाद-ए-ग़म-ए-उल्फ़त उनसे हम क्या कहते क्यूँ-कर कहते
एक हर्फ़ न निकला होंठों से और आँख में आंसू आ भी गए
[Now why would I narrate those sorrowful stories of love to her and How? Hardly a word had left my lips and tears welled up in my eyes]
इस महफ़िल-ए-कैफ़-ओ-मस्ती में, इस अंजुमन-ए-इरफ़ानी में
सब जाम-ब-कफ़ बैठे ही रहे, हम पी भी गए छलका भी गए !
[In this august company, this gathering of the passionate
they kept holding onto their glasses brimful, waiting! Me? I drank away and spilled some too, for good measure! ]
