ROZ EK SHER

इश्क़ का मौसम ग़म की हवायें,
उफ़ रे जवानी हाय ज़माने
दिल में तमन्ना लब पे दुआयें,
उफ़ रे जवानी हाय ज़माने
-अख़्तर शीरानी

ishq kaa mausam, gham kii havaayen
uff re javaanii hay zamaane!
dil main tamannaa lab pe duaayen
uff re javaanii hay zamaane!
-Akhtar Shirani

The season of romance, and the breeze of sweet sorrow;
Oh this youth! Oh this cruel world!
Desire in the heart and prayer on the lips;
Oh this youth! Oh this cruel world!

English translation by Harshad Sanghrajka
