عا شق ہر جائی
حسن نسوانی ہے بجلی تیری فطرت کے لیےپھر عجب یہ ہے کہ تیرا عشق بے پروا بھی ہے
English translation
Female beauty has the effect of electricity for your nature; and strangely enough your loves are unconventional also.
(As you have ‘Ishq-i-Majazi’, including ‘Husn i Niswan’ or female beauty you really do not follow the customs of fidelity.)
Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
