लब-ए-ईसा की जुम्बिश करती है गहवारा-जुम्बानी
क़यामत कुश्त-ए-लाल-ए-बुताँ का ख़्वाब-ए-संगीं है
The movement of Jesus's lips makes the cradle gently sway;For those by idols' ruby lips slain, Doomsday is a stony sleep.
The movement of Jesus's lips causes the cradle to sway. For those slain by the ruby lips of beloveds, Doomsday is a stony, deep sleep.

The wilderness of oblivion is the wind of longing's desert, Ghalib,Sweat is courage's steed, and life's abode's torrential current.
O Ghalib, the wilderness of annihilation is the wind of the desert of longing. Sweat is the steed of courage, and it is the flood of life's abode.
