ज़िद है उन्हें पूरा मिरा अरमाँ न करेंगे
मुँह से जो नहीं निकली है अब हाँ न करेंगे
They are stubborn in their resolve and will never fulfill my desire; the 'yes' that has not yet left their lips, they will never utter now.
They are stubbornly determined never to fulfill my desire; the 'yes' that has not yet left their lips, they will never utter now.

क्यूँ ज़ुल्फ़ का बोसा मुझे लेने नहीं देते
कहते हैं कि वल्लाह परेशाँ न करेंगे
Why do you not let me kiss your lovely curls? / By God, I swear, I will not ruffle them!
Why do you not let me kiss your tresses, even though I swear by God that I will not dishevel them?

है ज़ेहन में इक बात तुम्हारे मुतअल्लिक़
ख़ल्वत में जो पूछोगे तो पिन्हाँ न करेंगे
There is a thought within my mind concerning only you; / Ask of it in solitude, and I shall not conceal it from you.
There is a thought in my mind concerning you, and if you ask about it in private, I will not hide it from you.

वाइज़ तो बनाते हैं मुसलमान को काफ़िर
अफ़्सोस ये काफ़िर को मुसलमाँ न करेंगे
The preacher merely turns the faithful believer into an infidel; alas, an infidel into a true believer he shall never make.
Preachers only turn believers into disbelievers (by declaring them infidels), but sadly, they will never turn a disbeliever into a true believer.

क्यूँ शुक्र-गुज़ारी का मुझे शौक़ है इतना
सुनता हूँ वो मुझ पर कोई एहसाँ न करेंगे
Why am I possessed by such an urge to render gratitude, / When I hear that they intend to bestow no favor upon me?
Why am I so eager to express gratitude, when I hear that they will do me no favor at all?

दीवाना न समझे हमें वो समझे शराबी
अब चाक कभी जेब ओ गरेबाँ न करेंगे
Let them take me for a drunkard, but never one driven mad; / Never again shall I tear open my pocket and my collar.
Let them consider us a drunkard rather than a madman, for we will never tear open our pocket and collar again.

वो जानते हैं ग़ैर मिरे घर में है मेहमाँ
आएँगे तो मुझ पर कोई एहसाँ न करेंगे
They know full well the rival is a guest inside my home; even if they come, it is no favor conferred on me.
They know that the rival is a guest in my house; even if they come now, they will not be doing me any favor.
