बंद-ए-क़बा को ख़ूबाँ जिस वक़्त वा करेंगे

When the closed-off heart is opened up by love, what will the playful-hearted do when they meet?

रोना यही है मुझ को तेरी जफ़ा से हर-दम
ये दिल-दिमाग़ दोनों कब तक वफ़ा करेंगे

How long will both my heart and mind remain loyal to your gate?
To weep constantly because of your cruelty, this is my fate; how long will both my heart and mind remain loyal?

दरवेश हैं हम आख़िर दो-इक निगह की रुख़्सत

तेरी गली के हर-सू महशर हुआ करेंगे
If the Day of Judgment should come upon your abode,
Every corner of your street shall become a gathering place.

दामान-ए-दश्त सूखा अब्रों की बे-तही से

Now, too, we shall go to the jungle to cry.
