maiñ kis ke haath pe apnā lahū talāsh karūñ
tamām shahr ne pahne hue haiñ dastāne
main kis ke hath pe apna lahu talash karun
tamam shahr ne pahne hue hain dastane
aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
means
dekhne vaalo tabassum ko karam mat samjho
unheñ to dekhne vāloñ pe hañsī aatī hai
do not deem her smile to be a sign of grace
she mocks those poor souls who've looked upon her face
dekhne walo tabassum ko karam mat samjho
unhen to dekhne walon pe hansi aati hai
do not deem her smile to be a sign of grace
she mocks those poor souls who've looked upon her face
from the Ghazal "ahl-e-ulfat ke hawalon pe hansi aati hai" by Sudarshan Faakir
