Chashm-e-Maste Ajabe - Hazrat Amir Khusrau

 Recital: Ateeq Hussain Bandanawazi Qawwal

Chashm-e-Maste `ajabe, zulf daraze `ajabe
O wondrous ecstatic eyes, O wondrous long locks

Mai-paraste `ajabe, fitna taraze `ajabe
O wondrous wine worshipper, O wondrous mischievous sweetheart,

Bahr-e-qatlam chu kashad tegh neham sar basujud
As he draws the sword, I bow my head in prostration so as to be killed

Ou banaze `ajabe man banyaze `ajabe
O wondrous is his beneficence, O wondrous my submission

Waqt-e-bismil shud anam chashm baryush baz ast
In the spasm of being killed my eyes beheld your face;

Mehrbane `ajabe bandanawaze `ajabe
O wondrous benevolence, O wondrous guidance and protection

Turk taze `ajabe shoba babaze `ajabe
O wondrous amorous teasing, O wondrous beguiling

Kajkulahe `ajabe `arba da saze `ajabe
O wondrous tilted cap, O wondrous tormentor

Haq mago kalma-e-kufr ast dar iin ja Khusrau
Do not reveal the Truth; in this world blasphemy prevails Khusrau

Razdane `ajabe sahib-e-raz-e-`ajabe
O wondrous source of mystery, O wondrous knower of secrets.
