ROZ EK SHER

दिले-बेताब को तस्कीन यूँ ही दे लेंगे
तू न दे हम तिरी तस्वीर के बोसे लेंगे
-अख़्तर

dile-betaab ko taskiin yuun hii de lenge
tuu na de hum tirii tasviir ke bose lenge
--Akhtar

My heart of an anxious lover will I assuage simply thus
You're not there? On your portrait  will I  plant my kisses
