Ghazal
खो न जा इस सहर ओ शाम में ऐ साहिब-ए-होश
This ghazal conveys a deep emotional and spiritual plea, addressing the beloved not to get lost in the moments of dawn and dusk. It reflects on the uncertainty of life and the significance of a mysterious 'tomorrow' (fardah), noting how various places (mosque, school, tavern) remain silent. The poet claims to have found a state in the tears of the morning, one that is far from superficiality, suggesting that true refinement exists beyond pretense or the sale of false adornments.

खो न जा इस सहर ओ शाम में ऐ साहिब-ए-होश
इक जहाँ और भी है जिस में न फ़र्दा है न दोश
Don't get lost in this dawn and dusk, O master of consciousness,
There is another world where there is no tomorrow and no fault.
Don't get lost in this dawn and dusk, O master of consciousness. There is another world where there is no tomorrow and no fault.

किस को मालूम है हंगामा-ए-फ़र्दा का मक़ाम
मस्जिद ओ मकतब ओ मय-ख़ाना हैं मुद्दत से ख़मोश
Who knows the state of tomorrow's uproar,
Mosque, school, and tavern have been silent for ages.
Who knows the state of tomorrow's uproar? The mosque, school, and tavern have been silent for ages.

मैं ने पाया है इसे अश्क-ए-सहर-गाही में
जिस दुर-ए-नाब से ख़ाली है सदफ़ की आग़ोश
In the tears of the early morning, I have found it,
From the embrace of the shell, which is empty of the water's stream.
In the tears of the early morning, I have found it, from the embrace of the shell that is empty of the stream of water.

नई तहज़ीब तकल्लुफ़ के सिवा कुछ भी नहीं
चेहरा रौशन हो तो क्या हाजत-ए-गुलगूना फ़रोश
The new refinement is nothing but pretense,
If the face is bright, what need for the gossip-seller's show?
The new refinement is merely a pretense; if the face itself is radiant, what need is there for the gossip-seller's display?

साहिब-ए-साज़ को लाज़िम है कि ग़ाफ़िल न रहे
गाहे गाहे ग़लत-आहंग भी होता है सरोश
The master of melody must not be heedless,
For sometimes, even a wrong tune can be a delight.
The master of melody must not be heedless, because sometimes even a wrong tune can be a delight.
