वाँ उस को हौल-ए-दिल है तो याँ मैं हूँ शर्म-सार
या'नी ये मेरी आह की तासीर से न हो
There, terror grips his heart; here, I am filled with shame. May this not be, I pray, my sigh's effect proclaimed.
There, his heart is gripped by terror, and here, I am filled with shame. I hope this is not due to the effect of my sighs.

अपने को देखता नहीं ज़ौक़-ए-सितम को देख
आईना ता-कि दीदा-ए-नख़चीर से न हो
Gaze not upon yourself, but upon the delight of cruelty;Lest the mirror become the eye of a creature hunted.
Do not look at yourself, but rather observe the delight of cruelty, so that the mirror does not become the eye of a hunted animal.
