ROZ EK SHER

हुई हमसे ये नादानी तेरी मेहफ़िल में अय साक़ी
ज़मीं की ख़ाक होकर आसमाँ से दिल लगा बैठे
-अफ़सर मेरठी

huii humse ye naadaanii terii mehfil mein ay saaqii
zamiin kii khaak hokar aasmaan se dil lagaa baithe
-Afsar Merathi

I made the mistake, o bewitching wine pourer,
of falling in love with you. Which is like
like the earth falling in love with the sky
