shikway bhi hazaron hain shikayat bhi bohat hai
iss dil ko magar uss say mohabat bhi bohat hai
aajati hai milnay wo tassavor main sar e sham
ek shaks ki itni si inayat bhi bohat hai
yeh bhi hai tamanna k usay dil say bhula dain
iss dil ko magar uss ki zaroorat bhi bohat hai
dekhain to zara pi k zeher e mohabbat
suna hai k iss zeher main lazzat bhi bohat hai
All love at first, like generous wine,
Ferments and frets until ‘tis fine;
But when ‘tis settled on the lee,
And from th’ impurer matter free,
Become the richer still the older,
And proves the pleasanter the colder.
