ROZ EK SHER

मसरूर निगाहों को काँटा भी गुलिस्तां है
मायूस निगाहों में गुलशन भी है वीराना

masruur nigaahon ko kaantaa bhii gulistaan hai
maayuus nigaahon mein gulshan bhii hai viiraanaa

When the beholder is delighted, even a thorn appears to be a pleasure glade
When the beholder is melancholy, even spring in its blossom appears forlorn
