ROZ EK SHER

थी बेनमक मेरी ही ज़बां वरना सच है ये
नमकीन पानियों में ग़ज़ब की मिठास है
-हकीम मंज़ूर

thii benamak merii hii zabaan varnaa sach hai ye
namkiin paaniyon mein ghazab kii mithaas hai
-Hakim Manzoor

My tongue lacked the taste buds, for the truth is that
The saltiest waters taste the sweetest
