Taza Phir Danish-e-hazir Ne Kiya Sehar-e-qadim

ताज़ा फिर दानिश-ए-हाज़िर ने किया सेहर-ए-क़दीम
गुज़र इस अहद में मुमकिन नहीं बे-चोब-ए-कलीम

Impossible to pass through in this era without the pen of the poet.

अक़्ल अय्यार है सौ भेस बना लेती है
इश्क़ बेचारा न मुल्ला है न ज़ाहिद न हकीम
The clever mind takes a hundred disguises,
But love, poor thing, is neither a scholar, nor a saint, nor a physician.

ऐश-ए-मंज़़िल है ग़रीबान-ए-मोहब्बत पे हराम

The intoxication of the destination is forbidden for the poor lover,
All travelers appear as if they are residents.

है गराँ-सैर ग़म-ए-राहीला-ओ-ज़ाद से तू
कोह ओ दरिया से गुज़र सकते हैं मानिंद-ए-नसीम
How can you pass through the mountains and rivers, oh dear traveler, with the sorrow of your departure, like a gentle breeze?

मर्द-ए-दरवेश का सरमाया है आज़ादी ओ मर्ग
है किसी और की ख़ातिर ये निसाब-ए-ज़र-ओ-सीम
The treasure of the dervish-like man is freedom and death;
This collection of gold and chains is for someone else.
