ترے عشق کي انتہا چاہتا ہوں
English title: COMPLETION OF YOUR LOVE IS WHAT I DESIRE
ترے عشق کي انتہا چاہتا ہوںمري سادگي ديکھ کيا چاہتا ہوں
Completion of your Love is what I desire. Look at my sincerity what little I desire.
ستم ہو کہ ہو وعدہ بے حجابيکوئي بات صبر آزما چاہتا ہوں
It may be oppression or the promise of unveiling; something testing my perseverance I desire.
يہ جنت مبارک رہے زاہدوں کوکہ ميں آپ کا سامنا چاہتا ہوں
May the pious be happy with this Paradise; only to see your Countenance I desire.
ذرا سا تو دل ہوں ، مگر شوخ اتناوہي لن تراني سنا چاہتا ہوں
Though I am but a tiny little heart I am so bold to hear the same ‘Lan tarani’ I desire.
کوئي دم کا مہماں ہوں اے اہل محفلچراغ سحر ہوں ، بجھا چاہتا ہوں
O assembly’s companions! I am existing only for a few moments; I am the dawn’s candle, I am about to be extinguished.
بھري بزم ميں راز کي بات کہہ ديبڑا بے ادب ہوں ، سزا چاہتا ہوں
I have divulged the secret in the full assembly; I am very insolent, punishment I desire
