phulon ke sath kanton ki chhubhan ka ehsas sirf fayz ki hi shairi me mil sakta hai
eh rumaniyet aur karb se bhar pur hai.

Superb poem. As I said in another post, this is an excellent website.

The transaltion is good. Great use of rythm that evokes the beauty of the poem as written in Urdu. However I have to admit I disagree with the translation on initial lines:

suulioN par hamaare laboN se pare
tere hoNToN kii laalii lapaktii rahii
terii zulfoN kii mastii barastii rahii
tere haathoN kii chaaNd sii damaktii rahii

And there where you were crucified,
so far away from my words,
you still were beautiful:
color kept clinging to your lips–
rapture was still vivid in your hair–
light remained silvering in your hands.

I think it should read

And where I was crucified,
you were so far away from my words,
but still beautiful:
color kept clinging to your lips–
rapture was still vivid in your hair–
light remained silvering in your hands.
