ROZ EK SHER

ले लो बोसा अपना वापस, किसलिये तक़रार की
क्या कोई जागीर हमने छीन ली सरकार की?
-अफ़सर मेरठी

le lo bosaa apnaa vaapas, kisliye taqraar kii
kyaa koii jaagiir hamne chhiin lii sarkaar kii?
-Afsar Merathi

Take back your kiss, why fight over it
Have I deprived you of some treasure?

English translation by Manish Modi

Here, an over-enthusiastic lover is apologising to his beloved for having taken the liberty of kissing her. He is trying to coax her out
of her anger.
