Jin loienn jag mohiya

Jin loienn jag mohiya se loienn main ditth
Kajal rekh na sahendyan se pankhi soye beheth

English Translation

Fareed, those eyes which have enticed the world-I have seen those eyes. Once, they could not endure even a bit mascara; now, the birds hatch their young in them!

Translation: S. S. Khalsa
