I asked the moon thus
Have you ever seen
One as gorgeous as my love
The moon said: I swear on the moonlight
No, No, No.
Oh! I searched for this bashfulness of yours
This youth of yours I searched everywhere
I asked the blossoms[if they knew] anyone like you
And the flowers to match you [in your beauty]
I asked the garden
Be it in the heavens or on earth
Is there a flower as beautiful [as my love]
The garden said, I swear on every flower
No, No, NoOh! Is this a gait or [like] a flow of ecstacy?
Are these your tresses or the story of the night?
Are these lips or [do they] mirror the lotuses?
Are these eyes or the queen of a wine-house?
I asked the goblet
Be it in the heavens or on earth
Is there an intoxicant as beautiful [as my love]
The goblet said, I swear by the joy of inebriation
No, No, No
Oh! This beauty that you were blessed with,
God was thus deprived of all his godliness.
Shall I liken you to the ghazal of Mir?
Or to the Rubaiyyat of Khayyam?
When I ask the poets thus
Such a dear sher, have you ever read?
The poets said, we swear by our poetry
No, No, No
