तरदामनी पे शेख़ हमारी न जाइयो
दामन निचोड़ दें तो फ़रिश्ते वज़ू करें
-मीर "दर्द"
tar-daamanii pe sheikh hamaarii na jaaiyo
daaman nichod dein to farishte vazuu karein
-Mir "Dard"
Judge me not by the wet hem of my clothes, for if I were to wring them
Even angels would perform their ablutions with them
[Wet hem = impious conduct]
English translation by Manish Modi
