susraal mein jo paadon (fart) to maikay mein ho khabar
ik ishtihaar nand hai, ik ishtihaar saas
'Rangin' qasam hai teri hi, hoon mailay sar se mein (=on my days)
mat khol, kar ke minnat o zaari, izaar-band
kaali upar thi charhi, nichay thi gori annaa
The black one was on top, Nanny, and the fair one underneath
An interesting essay on lesbianism and eroticism in Urdu poetry. A very good archive of language too!
