जब हम-कलाम हम से होता है पान खा कर
किस रंग से करे है बातें चबा चबा कर
When you talk to me after having chewed paan (betel nut), / With what color do you speak, chewing and chewing?
When you talk to me after having chewed paan (betel nut), with what color do you speak, chewing and chewing?

थी जुम्लातन लताफ़त आलम में जाँ के हम तो
मिट्टी में अट गए हैं इस ख़ाक-दाँ में आ कर
In the world of the beloved's charm, we gave our lives, and now we are buried in this dust-filled grave.
In the world of the beloved's charms, we gave our lives, and now we are buried in this dust-filled grave.

सई ओ तलब बहुत की मतलब के तईं न पहुँचे
नाचार अब जहाँ से बैठे हैं हाथ उठा कर
O beloved, the meaning of your desire has not reached me,
Now, where I sit, I have lifted my hands in helplessness.
O beloved, the meaning of your desire has not reached me; now, wherever I sit, I have lifted my hands in helplessness.

ग़ैरत ये थी कि आया उस से जो मैं ख़फ़ा हो
मरते मुआ पे हरगिज़ ऊधर फिरा न जा कर
My pride was that I would never stray, even in death, from the one who made me upset.

क़ुदरत ख़ुदा की सब में ख़लउल-इज़ार आओ
बैठो जो मुझ कने तो पर्दे में मुँह छुपा कर
From the power of God, everything is unveiled; come, sit near me, and hide your face behind the curtain.
From the power of God, everything is unveiled; come, sit near me, and hide your face behind the curtain.

अरमान है जिन्हों को वे अब करें मोहब्बत
हम तो हुए पशीमाँ दिल के तईं लगा कर
They yearn for those whom they should now love,
But I am regretful, having affixed my heart's will.
They hold a yearning for those whom they should now love, but I am regretful for having stubbornly fixed my heart's will.

मैं 'मीर' तर्क ले कर दुनिया से हाथ उठाया
दरवेश तू भी तो है हक़ में मिरे दुआ कर
I, 'Mir', have taken the argument and raised my hand from the world;
You, O dervish, are also in my right, so pray for me.
I, 'Mir', have taken the argument and withdrawn my hand from the world; O dervish, since you are also in my right, please pray for me.
