This ghazal captures the overwhelming pain and disorientation of love, where union with the beloved brings enduring heartache rather than solace. It reflects on the lifelong sorrow of giving away one's heart only to receive lasting emotional wounds in return.

आया न रास नाला-ए-दिल का असर मुझे
अब तुम मिले तो कुछ नहीं अपनी ख़बर मुझे
The effect of my heart's lamenting did not suit me well at all; now that you have come at last, I have lost all sense of self.
The effect of my heart's cry did not suit me well, and now that you have met me, I have lost all awareness of myself.
2
दिल ले के मुझ से देते हो दाग़-ए-जिगर मुझे
ये बात भूलने की नहीं उम्र भर मुझे
You took my heart from me and gave a wounded soul in return; this is something I shall never forget for as long as I live.
You took my heart from me and gave me deep wounds and sorrow in return; this is something I will never forget for the rest of my life.
3
हर-सू दिखाई देते हैं वो जल्वा-गर मुझे
क्या क्या फ़रेब देती है मेरी नज़र मुझे
In every direction, that radiant presence appears to me; ah, what endless illusions my own eyes weave for me!
I see my beloved appearing in every direction; my own eyes are deceiving me in countless ways.
4
मिलती नहीं है लज़्ज़त-ए-दर्द-ए-जिगर मुझे
भूली हुई न हो निगह-ए-फ़ित्नागर मुझे
No longer do I taste the sweet delight of an aching heart; could it be that her mischief-making gaze has forgotten me?
I no longer feel the sweet pleasure of the ache in my heart; I fear that the beloved's mischievous glance has forgotten me.
5
डाला है बे-ख़ुदी ने अजब राह पर मुझे
आँखें हैं और कुछ नहीं आता नज़र मुझे
Self-oblivion has cast me upon so strange a way: eyes I possess, yet nothing meets my sight.
Self-oblivion has set me upon such a strange path; though I have eyes, I can see nothing at all.
6
करना है आज हज़रत-ए-नासेह से सामना
मिल जाए दो घड़ी को तुम्हारी नज़र मुझे
Today I must confront the solemn preacher face to face; if only your gaze could be mine for a fleeting moment.
Today I have to face the preacher or counselor; I only wish I could have the favor of your gaze for a brief moment.
7
मस्ताना कर रहा हूँ रह-ए-आशिक़ी को तय
ले जाए जज़्ब-ए-शौक़ मिरा अब जिधर मुझे
In drunken ecstasy, I tread love's boundless way; let the pull of my yearning sweep me wherever it may.
I am traversing the path of love in an intoxicated, ecstatic state; now, let the irresistible pull of my passion take me wherever it pleases.
8
डरता हूँ जल्वा-ए-रुख़-ए-जानाँ को देख कर
अपना बना न ले कहीं मेरी नज़र मुझे
I tremble beholding the beloved's radiant face, lest my own gaze should claim me as its captive.
I am afraid looking at the radiant beauty of my beloved's face, fearing that my own gaze might captivate me completely.
9
यकसाँ है हुस्न-ओ-इश्क़ की सर-मस्तियों का रंग
उन की ख़बर उन्हें है न मेरी ख़बर मुझे
Alike is the hue of ecstasy that beauty and love share: she has no knowledge of herself, nor of myself am I aware.
The intoxication of both beauty and love is identical; neither do they have any awareness of themselves, nor do I have any awareness of myself.
10
मरना है उन के पाँव पे रख कर सर-ए-नियाज़
करना है आज क़िस्सा-ए-ग़म मुख़्तसर मुझे
Laying my head in humble submission at their feet, I must die; today, I must bring this tale of sorrow to an end.
I want to die by placing my head in humble devotion at my beloved's feet, and bring an end to this tale of sorrow today.
11
सीने से दिल अज़ीज़ है दिल से हो तुम अज़ीज़
सब से मगर अज़ीज़ है तेरी नज़र मुझे
Dearer than the breast is the heart, and dearer than the heart are you; yet dearest of all to me remains a single glance from you.
To me, the heart is dearer than my chest, and you are dearer than my heart, but dearest of all to me is your glance.
12
मैं दूर हूँ तो रू-ए-सुख़न मुझ से किस लिए
तुम पास हो तो क्यूँ नहीं आते नज़र मुझे
If I am far away, why direct your speech to me? / If you are near, why do you not appear before my eyes?
If I am far away, why is your conversation directed at me, and if you are near, why do you not appear before my eyes?
13
क्या जानिए क़फ़स में रहे क्या मोआ'मला
अब तक तो हैं अज़ीज़ मिरे बाल-ओ-पर मुझे
Who knows what fate awaits me within the cage; as yet, at least, my wings and feathers are dear to me.
Who knows what fate awaits inside the cage; at least until now, my wings and feathers are still dear to me.
