aaj mili ek ladki jise dekh tabiyat fadki
phul sa uska mukhda ho chand ka jaise tukda

tamatar jaise gaal kuch gungurale se baal
vaise to bholi dikhi par mirchi jaisi thikhi

hotho pe uski lali par bade hi gusse wali
naino ke teer chalaye dil le gayi mera haye

Today, I met a maiden, her presence a sudden quake,
A blossom's face she bore, a moon's own silver take.

Cheeks like ripened rubies, curls that danced in glee,
Innocent she seemed at first, yet sharp as chili.

Upon her lips a crimson bloom, a temper swift and bold,
Her eyes, like feathered arrows, stole the story of my soul.
