nik_hat-e-zulf se niindo.n ko basaa de aakar 
merii jaagii huii raato.n ko sulaa de aakar 

[nik_hat-e-zulf=fragnance of the hair] 

kis qadar tiiraa-o-taariik hai duniyaa merii 
jalvaa-e-husn kii ik shamaa jalaa de aakar 

[taariik=dark] 

ishq kii chaa.Ndanii raate.n mujhe yaad aatii hai.n 
umr-e-raftaa ko merii mujh se milaa de aakar 

[umr-e-raftaa=past life] 

zauq-e-naadiid me.n lazzat to hai magar naaz nahii.n 
aa mere ishq ko maGaruur banaa de aakar 

[zauq-e-naadiid=desire for not seeing]
[naaz=pride; maGaruur=proud]
