Ghazal
न हो तुग़्यान-ए-मुश्ताक़ी तो मैं रहता नहीं बाक़ी
This ghazal explores the profound necessity of love, asserting that without the intense yearning (tughyan-e-mushtaqi) for the beloved, the poet's existence ceases. He states that his life's essence is this yearning, and he feels sustained by the presence of a confidant (dard-aashna) in the gathering. The verses also touch upon the enduring power of the beloved's memory and the brilliance of true emotion.

न हो तुग़्यान-ए-मुश्ताक़ी तो मैं रहता नहीं बाक़ी
कि मेरी ज़िंदगी क्या है यही तुग़्यान-ए-मुश्ताक़ी
If not the stream of yearning, I cannot survive; / For what is my life but this stream of yearning?
If there is no stream of yearning, I cannot survive; for what is my life but this stream of yearning?

मुझे फ़ितरत नवा पर पै-ब-पै मजबूर करती है
अभी महफ़िल में है शायद कोई दर्द-आश्ना बाक़ी
My nature compels me, step by step, to do so,
Perhaps in this gathering, a pain familiar remains.
My nature compels me, step by step, perhaps a familiar pain remains in this gathering.

वो आतिश आज भी तेरा नशेमन फूँक सकती है
तलब सादिक़ न हो तेरी तो फिर क्या शिकवा-ए-साक़ी
Even today, your intoxicating breath can ignite the flames,
If my heart doesn't crave you, then what complaint can I make to the cupbearer?
Even today, your intoxicating breath can ignite the flames; if my heart does not crave you, then what complaint can I make to the cupbearer?

न कर अफ़रंग का अंदाज़ा उस की ताबनाकी से
कि बिजली के चराग़ों से है इस जौहर की बर्राक़ी
Do not judge the brilliance of this inherent quality by the glamour of a foreign light,
For its brilliance is not from electric lamps, but from its own intrinsic glow.
Do not judge the brilliance of this inherent quality by the glamour of a foreign light, for its brilliance comes not from electric lamps, but from its own intrinsic glow.

दिलों में वलवले आफ़ाक़-गीरी के नहीं उठते
निगाहों में अगर पैदा न हो अंदाज़-ए-आफ़ाक़ी
In hearts, the vast horizons do not stir, nor do the eyes, if the manner of the horizon is not born.
The vast horizons do not stir in the heart, nor do the eyes, if the manner of the horizon is not born (or perceived).

ख़िज़ाँ में भी कब आ सकता था मैं सय्याद की ज़द में
मिरी ग़म्माज़ थी शाख़-ए-नशेमन की कम औराक़ी
Even in autumn, when could I have arrived, in Sayyad's stubbornness,
My chamber was lacking the leaves of the garden's pleasure.
Even in autumn, when could I have arrived, in Sayyad's stubbornness; my chamber lacked the leaves of the garden's pleasure.

उलट जाएँगी तदबीरें बदल जाएँगी तक़दीरें
हक़ीक़त है नहीं मेरे तख़य्युल की है ख़ल्लाक़ी
The plans will go wrong, the destinies will change,
It is not reality, it is merely my imagination's range.
The plans will go wrong, and the destinies will also change; this is not reality, but merely the scope of my imagination.
