जब रोने बैठता हूँ तब क्या कसर रहे है
रूमाल दो दो दिन तक जूँ अब्र तर रहे है
When I sit to cry, what deficiency remains?
Just a handkerchief to wipe away the tears, day after day.

आह-ए-सहर की मेरी बर्छी के वसवसे से
ख़ुर्शीद के मुँह ऊपर अक्सर सिपर रहे है
From the whispers of my spear, in the sigh of dawn,
The sun's face often remains covered by a veil.

आगह तो रहिए उस की तर्ज़-ए-रह-ओ-रविश से
आने में उस के लेकिन किस को ख़बर रहे है
Stay near to that style of devotion and passion,
But who knows when they will arrive, or to whom?
Stay close to that style of devotion and passion, but who knows when it will arrive, or to whom?

उन रोज़ों इतनी ग़फ़लत अच्छी नहीं इधर से
अब इज़्तिराब हम को दो दो पहर रहे है
Those fasts are not good enough heedlessness from here; now we are passing two quarters of an hour with restlessness.
Those fasts are not enough to keep us heedless, because now we have been restless for two quarters of an hour.

आब-ए-हयात की सी सारी रविश है उस की
पर जब वो उठ चले है एक आध मर रहे है
Her radiance is like the water of life, but when she leaves, we are all dying.

तलवार अब लगा है बे-डोल पास रखने
ख़ून आज कल किसू का वो शोख़ कर रहे है
The sword is now kept near, without wavering,
Whose blood they are provoking today, who is so bold?
The sword is now kept nearby, without wavering, and they are provoking whose blood today.

दर से कभू जो आते देखा है मैं ने उस को
तब से उधर ही अक्सर मेरी नज़र रहे है
I have seen that person who comes from the door,
Since then, my gaze often remains in that direction.

आख़िर कहाँ तलक हम इक रोज़ हो चुकेंगे
बरसों से वादा-ए-शब हर सुब्ह पर रहे है
Finally, to what depth will we become one, after years of keeping the promise of night every morning?
Finally, to what extent will we become one, after years of keeping the promise of night every morning? (Meaning: When will the prolonged separation end, given the constant promise of togetherness that never materializes?)

'मीर' अब बहार आई सहरा में चल जुनूँ कर
कोई भी फ़स्ल-ए-गुल में नादान घर रहे है
Mir (the poet) now that spring has arrived in the desert, let's roam in madness,
No innocent household remains in the garden of flowers.
The Shayar says that now that spring has arrived in the desert, let's wander in madness, because no innocent household remains in the garden of flowers.
