ROZ EK SHER

ये कह दो हज़रते-नासेह से गर समझाने आये हैं
कि हम दैर-ओ-हरम होते हुए मयख़ाने आये हैं
-वहशत गोण्डवी

ye kah do hazrate-naaseh se gar samjhaane aaye hain
ki ham dair-o-harem hote huey maykhaane aaye hain
-Vahshat Gondavi

In case the preacher has come inside
the winehouse to give me a sermon
Please tell him that I visited
the place of worship on my way here
