HAZRAT AMEER KHUSROO

amey danum chih manzil bud shab jai kih mun budam

I do not know the stations, the blessed night where I was,

Baher su raqsey bismil bud shab jai kih mun budam

All around me were half-slaughtered victims of love,

tossing about in agony.

Raqeeban gosh ber awaz, ou der naaz-o-mun tersaan

My rivals were all ears, elated he, and craving I!

Sukhan guftan chih mushkil bud shab jai kih mun budam

How hard it was to say a word! The blessed night where I was!

Pari paiker nigara, surv qadday lalah rukhsaray

A fairy-like my beloved, he stood aloft with rosy cheeks,

Sarapa aaftay dil bud shab jai kih mun budam

Luminous was he embodied, the blessed night where I was!

Khuda Khud mir-e-majIis bud ander lamakan Khusro

God Himself chaired assemblage in the non-place, 0 Khusro!

Muhammad sham'ay mehfil bud shab jai kih mun budam

Muhammad e illuminated the assembly, the blessed night where I was!
