Here's the full poem :



____ ____ ____ makun taghaful, duraye naina banaye batiyan;
Ki taab-e hijran nadaram ay jaan, na leho kaahe lagaye chhatiyan

Shaban-e hijran daraz chun zulf wa roz-e waslat cho umr kotah;
Sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun to kaise kaatun andheri ratiyan

Yakayak az dil do chashm-e jadoo basad farebam baburd taskin;
Kise pari hai jo jaa sunaave piyare pi ko hamaari batiyan

Cho sham’a sozan cho zarra hairan hamesha giryan be ishq aan meh;
Na neend naina na ang chaina na aap aaven na bhejen patiyan

Bahaqq-e roz-e wisal-e dilbar ki daad mara gareeb Khusrau;
Sapet man ke waraaye raakhun jo jaaye paaon piya ke khatiyan




English Translation of the poem :


Do not overlook my misery by blandishing your eyes,
and weaving tales; My patience has over-brimmed,
O sweetheart, why do you not take me to your bosom.
Long like curls in the night of separation,
short like life on the day of our union;
My dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night
without your face before.
Suddenly, using a thousand tricks, the enchanting eyes robbed me
of my tranquil mind;
Who would care to go and report this matter to my darling?
Tossed and bewildered, like a flickering candle,
I roam about in the fire of love;
Sleepless eyes, restless body,
neither comes she, nor any message.
In honour of the day I meet my beloved
who has lured me so long, O Khusrau;
I shall keep my heart suppressed,
if ever I get a chance to get to her trick.










Eminent poet and lyricist Gulzar got inspired by the first three words of the poem and used them in the mukhda of a song, later set to tune by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.



The English translation of the mukhda written by Gulzar is as follows :


Notice the poor (heart), and do not look at it (heart) with enimity.
It (heart) is fresh with the wounds of separation.



Identify "X", the original Ameer Khusrau phrase that inspired Gulzar into writing a beautiful song.
