जो न नक़्द-ए-दाग़-ए-दिल की करे शोला पासबानी
तो फ़सुर्दगी निहाँ है ब-कमीन-ए-बे-ज़बानी
If the flame keeps no watch over the scarred heart's treasured prize, in the ambush of mute silence, cold desolation lies.
If the flame does not guard the treasure of the heart's wound, then cold desolation lies hidden in the ambush of speechlessness.

मुझे उस से क्या तवक़्क़ो ब-ज़माना-ए-जवानी
कभी कूदकी में जिस ने न सुनी मिरी कहानी
What hope can I keep of her now in this season of youth, when even in childhood she never lent an ear to my tale?
What expectation can I have from them in youth, when they never listened to my story even in childhood?

यूँ ही दुख किसी को देना नहीं ख़ूब वर्ना कहता
कि मिरे अदू को या रब मिले मेरी ज़िंदगानी
To bring needless torment upon another is not right, else I would pray: O Lord, let my bitter rival be granted this very life of mine!
It is not good to cause anyone pain without reason; otherwise, I would have prayed to God to give my enemy a life just like mine.
