کوئی دیکھے تو میری نے نوازی
نفس ہندی مقام نغمہ تازی!
Koi dekhe to meri nai-navazi
Nafas Hindi maqam-e-naghma Tazi!
نگہ آلودۂ انداز افرنگ!
طبیعت غزنوی قسمت ایازی!
Nigah aaluda-e-andaz-e-afrang!
Tabiat Ghaznavi qismat Ayazi!

About this rubai
A quatrain in which the poet describes his own flute-playing: the breath Indian, the melody Arab, the eye stained by Western ways, the temperament of Ghaznavi and the fate of Ayaz.
