ROZ EK SHER

हज़ारों शौक़-ओ-अरमाँ ले रहे हैं चुटकियाँ दिल में
हया इनकी इजाज़त दे तो कुछ बेबाकियाँ कर लूँ
-अज्ञात

hazaaron shauq-o-armaan le rahe hain chutkiyaan dil mein
hayaa inkii ijaazat de to kuchh bebaakiyaan kar luun?
-Unknown

My heart is a turmoil of thousands of desires
If you were to permit, may I take some liberties?
