Nami danam chi manzil bood shab jaay ki man boodam
Baharsu raqs-e bismil bood shab jaay ki man boodam
Pari paikar nigaar-e sarw qadde laala rukhsare
Sarapa aafat-e dil bood shab jaay ki man boodam
Khuda khud meer-e majlis bood andar laamakan Khusrau
Muhammad shamm-e mehfil bood shab jaay ki man boodam
English Translation
I wonder what was the place where I was last night
All around me were half-slaughtered victims of love
tossing about in agony
There was a nymph-like beloved with cypress-like form
and tulip-like face
Ruthlessly playing havoc with the hearts of the lovers
God himself was the master of ceremonies in that heavenly court
oh Khusrau, where (the face of) the Prophet too was shedding light
like a candle.
Atif Salman
