Analysis of Kiss Me
Mirza Ghalib 1797 (Kala Mahal) – 1869 (Chandni Chowk, Delhi)
Ghooncha-e-nashiguftha ko dhoor se math dikha key yoon
Bosey ko poonchtha houn mein munh se muchey batha ki yoon
Don't stay afar pouting your lips at me like a rosebud;
I asked you for a kiss--let your lips answer my plea.
