अपनी जौलाँ-गाह ज़ेर-ए-आसमाँ समझा था मैं
आब ओ गिल के खेल को अपना जहाँ समझा था मैं
I had thought my own little corner under the sky,
And the play of water and earth was my whole world.
I had thought my own little corner under the sky, and the play of water and earth was my whole world.

बे-हिजाबी से तिरी टूटा निगाहों का तिलिस्म
इक रिदा-ए-नील-गूँ को आसमाँ समझा था मैं
From you, without a veil, the spell of your eyes broke; I had taken a blue-robed figure for the whole sky.
From you, without a veil, the spell of your eyes broke; I had mistaken a blue-robed figure for the entire sky.

कारवाँ थक कर फ़ज़ा के पेच-ओ-ख़म में रह गया
मेहर ओ माह ओ मुश्तरी को हम-इनाँ समझा था मैं
The caravan rested in the twists and turns of the atmosphere,
I had mistaken the beloved moon and planets for my own.
The caravan rested in the twists and turns of the atmosphere, I had mistaken the beloved moon and planets for my own.

इश्क़ की इक जस्त ने तय कर दिया क़िस्सा तमाम
इस ज़मीन ओ आसमाँ को बे-कराँ समझा था मैं
With a mere thread of love, the whole story was decided,
I had taken the entire earth and sky for something endless.
With a mere thread of love, the whole story was decided, even though I had considered the entire earth and sky to be endless.

कह गईं राज़-ए-मोहब्बत पर्दा-दारी-हा-ए-शौक़
थी फ़ुग़ाँ वो भी जिसे ज़ब्त-ए-फ़ुग़ाँ समझा था मैं
The secrets of love, the veiling of passion,
Were those very sighs that I had thought I restrained.
The secrets of love, the veiling of passion, were those very sighs that I had thought I restrained.

थी किसी दरमाँदा रह-रौ की सदा-ए-दर्दनाक
जिस को आवाज़-ए-रहील-ए-कारवाँ समझा था मैं
It was a painful cry, not of any madwoman,
Which I had thought was the sound of a traveling caravan.
It was a painful cry, not of any madwoman, which I had thought was the sound of a traveling caravan.
