ROZ EK SHER

तश्बीह तेरे हुस्न की पूरी न हो सकी
जन्नत तेरे बदन की अधूरी मिसाल थी
-मिदहतुल अख़्तर

tashbiih tere husn kii puurii na ho sakii
jannat tere badan kii adhuurii misaal thii
-Midahtul Akhtar

Your beauty is beyond any simile
"Heavenly" could not fully describe your body

English adaptation by Manish Modi
