Aur us burhe shaqs ki udasi,
jis ne sari zindagi
mazhab-o-rivayat ka barham rakhte guzari,
poori gali main yun noha-kanA thi
ke ajab dil soz raag alaapti thi,
us ne apni nijat ka
ye alag hi rasta paya.
Jis din woh khusroN ki
qaum main shaamil hua,
unhon ne use yun sajaya,
jese pehli raat ki dulhan!!
(And that old man!,
who spent all his life
under strict shade of religi-o-culture rules -
his sadness was crying
all over the street and
singing deep melancholic tunes.
He found a very different way
of his wayout.
The day,
he joined eunuch society,
they blossomed him
like a bride of first night).
