बीमार-ए-इश्क़ रंज-ओ-मेहन से निकल गया
बेचारा मुँह छुपा के कफ़न से निकल गया
The one sick with love escaped from sorrow and from toil at last,
The poor soul, hiding his face, slipped away even from the shroud's hold.
The one sick with love finally escaped from sorrow and hardship, and the poor soul, hiding his face, slipped away even from the shroud.

मुर्ग़ान-ए-बाग़ आतिश-ए-गुल ने जला दिए
सय्याद हाथ मलते चमन से निकल गया
The fire of roses burned to death the garden's birds,
The fowler, wringing his hands in grief, walked out of the garden.
The fire of the roses burned the garden's birds to death, and the fowler, wringing his hands in regret, left the garden.

पैक-ए-निगाह चश्मा-ए-हैवान दहन में है
बचकर अगर ये चाह-ए-ज़क़न से निकल गया
The messenger of my gaze, with the fountain of life within his mouth—
if he but escapes, unharmed, from the pit of that dimpled chin.
The messenger of my gaze dwells in his mouth, where the fountain of eternal life resides; if only it could escape safely from the pit of that dimpled chin.

देखा जो मुझ ग़रीब को बू-ए-अदम के कोस
मुद्दत से था ये अपने वतन से निकल गया
When the fragrance of oblivion beheld this poor wretch of mine,
It fled—for ages it had longed to leave its native land behind.
When the fragrance of oblivion saw this poor wretch, it fled away; for a long time it had wished to leave its native land.

आलम जो था मुतीअ हमारे कलाम का
क्या इस्म-ए-आज़म अपने दहन से निकल गया
The whole world once was subject to the magic of my speech—
has the mightiest name of God slipped loose from my own mouth?
The whole world was once obedient to my speech—has the Greatest Name of God slipped out from my mouth?
6
जोश-ए-जुनूँ ने फ़स्दों से मुतलक़ कमी न की
सेरों लहू हमारे बदन से निकल गया
The frenzy of my passion spared no measure in its bleedings;
pounds of blood have poured and drained out from my body.
The frenzy of passion left no shortfall in its bleedings; pounds of blood drained out from my body.

आवेज़ा तेरे गोश का हो इस उमीद पर
क्या क्या अक़ीक़ कान में से निकल गया
In hope of becoming the pendant for your ear,
how many an agate has emerged from the mine of the earth
In the hope of becoming the pendant for your ear, so many an agate has come forth out of the mine.

ज़ंजीर का वो ग़ुल नहीं ज़िंदान में अल-मजनून
दीवाना क़ैद-ख़ाना-ए-तन से निकल गया
No more that clamor of chains rings out in the prison cell, O Majnun—
The madman has broken free from the dungeon of the body and gone.
That clamor of chains no longer sounds in the prison, O Majnun; the madman has escaped from the dungeon of the body and is gone.

रुतबा को तेरे सुन के शबक है के हर ग़ज़ाल
दीवाना हो के दश्त-ए-ख़ुतन से निकल गया
Hearing the splendour of your rank, bewildered was each gazelle—
Maddened, it fled away and left the wilds of Khotan behind.
Hearing of the loftiness of your rank, every gazelle was struck with wonder and, driven mad, fled away out of the wilderness of Khotan.

फिर तिफ़्ल-ए-हीला-जू का बहाना न मानियो
आतिश वो अबकी बार तो फ़न से निकल गया
Trust not again the pretext of that cunning, excuse-seeking child—
For Atish, this time, has slipped away through his artful guile.
Do not again believe the excuse of that cunning, pretext-seeking child, for this time Atish has escaped through his clever trick.
