Ābrū jab vaṣf tere khulq-i khūbī ke likhe
Tab ṣafā barg-i sukhan ho jā qalam ho ke’oṛā
When Ābrū writes a description of
your nature full of beauty
Then a polished petal of a sheet shall be
the place and kewra the pen.
Najmuddīn Mubārak Shāh ‘Ābrū’ (1685-1733)
Bistar-i gul par jo tū ne karvaṭen līn rāt ko
‘It̤r-āgīn ho ga’e a’e gul-badan pis ke phūl
Tossing and turning on a bed of flowers,
crushing them through the night,
Oh rose-bodied one, you have become drenched in perfume.
Shāh Naṣīr (1756-1838)
