ROZ EK SHER

गोरी सोयी सेज पर मुख पे डारे केस
चल ख़ुसरो घर आपने साँझ भयी चहुँ देस
-अमीर ख़ुसरो

gorii soyii sej par mukh pe daare kes
chal khusro ghar aapne saanjh bhayii chahun des
-Amir Khusro

The fair maiden lies asleep, her face covered by her hair
Let us go back home, O Khusro, for darkness enshrouds us
