ROZ EK SHER

देखने आये तो वो अपनी महब्बत का असर
कहने को यह है कि आये थे अयादत करने
-हसरत मोहानी मिज़ाजपुर्सी

dekhne aaye to vo apnii muhabbat kaa asar
kahne ko yah hai ki aaye the ayaadat karne
-Hasrat Mohani

अयादत, ayaadat = मिज़ाजपुर्सी, visiting an ill person to see
how he / she  is doing

She came to see how badly I had fallen for her
Saying that she had come to ask about my health
