ROZ EK SHER

ज़फ़र आँखें कहे देती हैं तेरी, क्या छुपाती है
मये-उल्फ़त की कैफ़ियत छुपाये नहीं छुपती
-बहादुर शाह ज़फ़र

Zafar aankhein kahe detii hain terii kyaa chhupaatii hai
maye-ulfat kii kaifiyat chhupaaye nahiin chhuptii
--Bahadur Shah Zafar

Hiding is futile, you are betrayed by your eyes
The effects of the wine of love cannot be hidden, o Zafar
