    añgḌā.ī bhī vo lene na paa.e uThā ke haath

    dekhā jo mujh ko chhoḌ diye muskurā ke haath

    she couldn't stretch her limbs, with all her ample grace

    on seeing me she smiled and kept, her modesty in place

    be-sāḳhta nigāheñ jo aapas meñ mil ga.iiñ

    kyā muñh par us ne rakh liye āñkheñ churā ke haath

    inadvertently, when, our eyes did chance to meet

    she looked away from me, and then, covered up her face

    ye bhī nayā sitam hai hinā to lagā.eñ ġhair

    aur us daad chāheñ vo mujh ko dikhā ke haath

    Tis a novel torture, henna, my rival applies

    while she waits for compliments from me- so in my face!!

    be-iḳhtiyār ho ke jo maiñ paañv par girā

    ThoḌī ke nīche us ne dharā muskurā ke haath

    ---

    ---

    gar dil ko bas meñ paa.eñ to nāseh tirī suneñ

    apnī to marg-o-zīst hai us bevafā ke haath

    ---

    ---

    vo zānūoñ meñ siina chhupānā simaT ke haa.e

    aur phir sambhālnā vo dupaTTa chhuḌā ke haath

    she doubles up to hide her bosom- such a pity sigh!

    then straightens up again to get her scarf back into place

    qāsid tire bayāñ se dil aisā Thahar gayā

    goyā kisī ne rakh diyā siine pe aa ke haath

    ---

    ---

    ai dil kuchh aur baat raġhbat na de mujhe

    sunñī paḌeñgī saikḌoñ us ko lagā ke haath

    ---

    ---

    vo kuchh kisī kah ke satānā sadā mujhe

    vo khīñch lenā parde se apnā dikhā ke haath

    ---

    ---

    dekhā jo kuchh rukā mujhe to kis tapāk se

    gardan meñ merī Daal diye aap aa ke haath

    ---

    ---

    phir kyuuñ na chaak ho jo haiñ zor-āzmā.iyāñ

    bāñdhūñgā phir dupaTTa se us be-ḳhatā ke haath

    wherever do I go to if I, from your street depart

    with both the worlds forsaken, there is no other place

    kūche se tere uTTheñ to phir jaa.eñ ham kahāñ

    baiThe haiñ yaañ to donoñ jahāñ se uThā ke haath

    ---

    ---

    pahchānā phir to kyā nadāmat huī unheñ

    panDit samajh ke mujh ko aur apnā dikhā ke haath

    I do recall her offering to me the glass of wine

    holding out her hand this way turning away her face

    denā vo us sāġhar-e-mai yaad hai 'nizām'

    muñh pher kar udhar ko idhar ko baḌhā ke haath

    angDai bhi wo lene na pae uTha ke hath

    dekha jo mujh ko chhoD diye muskura ke hath

    she couldn't stretch her limbs, with all her ample grace

    on seeing me she smiled and kept, her modesty in place

    be-saKHta nigahen jo aapas mein mil gain

    kya munh par us ne rakh liye aankhen chura ke hath

    inadvertently, when, our eyes did chance to meet

    she looked away from me, and then, covered up her face

    ye bhi naya sitam hai hina to lagaen ghair

    aur us ki dad chahen wo mujh ko dikha ke hath

    Tis a novel torture, henna, my rival applies

    while she waits for compliments from me- so in my face!!

    be-iKHtiyar ho ke jo main panw par gira

    ThoDi ke niche us ne dhara muskura ke hath

    ---

    ---

    gar dil ko bas mein paen to naseh teri sunen

    apni to marg-o-zist hai us bewafa ke hath

    ---

    ---

    wo zanuon mein sina chhupana simaT ke hae

    aur phir sambhaalna wo dupaTTa chhuDa ke hath

    she doubles up to hide her bosom- such a pity sigh!

    then straightens up again to get her scarf back into place

    qasid tere bayan se dil aisa Thahar gaya

    goya kisi ne rakh diya sine pe aa ke hath

    ---

    ---

    ai dil kuchh aur baat ki raghbat na de mujhe

    sunni paDengi saikDon us ko laga ke hath

    ---

    ---

    wo kuchh kisi ka kah ke satana sada mujhe

    wo khinch lena parde se apna dikha ke hath

    ---

    ---

    dekha jo kuchh ruka mujhe to kis tapak se

    gardan mein meri Dal diye aap aa ke hath

    ---

    ---

    phir kyun na chaak ho jo hain zor-azmaiyan

    bandhunga phir dupaTTa se us be-KHata ke hath

    wherever do I go to if I, from your street depart

    with both the worlds forsaken, there is no other place

    kuche se tere uTThen to phir jaen hum kahan

    baiThe hain yan to donon jahan se uTha ke hath

    ---

    ---

    pahchana phir to kya hi nadamat hui unhen

    panDit samajh ke mujh ko aur apna dikha ke hath

    I do recall her offering to me the glass of wine

    holding out her hand this way turning away her face

    dena wo us ka saghar-e-mai yaad hai 'nizam'

    munh pher kar udhar ko idhar ko baDha ke hath
