haatim haazir hai haakim ke darbaar mein,
hijaab ho raha hai neelam haraarat ke baazar mein,
phir hairani kya ki hua ye haadisah,
phir hairani kya ki hubb hai is haal mein.

The generous have been summoned to the court of the ruler,
The veil is being auctioned in the market of lust,
Then what be the surprise that something so unfortunate has happened,
Then what be the surprise that this be the condition of love.
