1
जोशिश-ए-अश्क से हूँ आठ पहर पानी में
गरचे होते हैं बहुत ख़ौफ़-ओ-ख़तर पानी में
In the water of my tears, I am for eight cycles of time; / Though there are many dangers and perils in the water.
In the water of my tears, I have been for eight cycles of time; / Even though there are many dangers and perils in the water.
2
ज़ब्त-ए-गिर्या ने जलाया है दरूना सारा
दिल अचम्भा है कि है सोख़्ता-तर पानी में
The seizure of tears has burned through everything, / My heart is amazed at the water that is so difficult to attain.
The binding of tears has burned everything; the heart is astonished at how difficult the water is to attain.
3
आब-ए-शमशीर-ए-क़यामत है बुरिंदा उस की
ये गवाराई नहीं पाते हैं हर पानी में
The water of the sword of doomsday is sharp, tearing at her,
Not every water can be accepted by her.
The water of the sword of doomsday is sharp, tearing at her, and not every water can be accepted by her.

तब-ए-दरिया जो हो आशुफ़्ता तो फिर तूफ़ाँ है
आह बालों को परागंदा न कर पानी में
If the river's surface is restless, then it is a storm; / Do not make the hair fragrant by putting it in water.
If the river's surface is agitated, then it is a storm; / Do not make the hair fragrant by putting it in water.

ग़र्क़ आब-ए-अश्क से हूँ लेक उड़ा जाता हूँ
जूँ समक गो कि मिरे डूबे हैं पर पानी में
I am carried away by the water of tears,
Like a bird whose companions are drowned in the water.
I am carried away by the water of tears, like a bird whose companions are drowned in the water.
6
मर्दुम-ए-दीदा-ए-तर मर्दुम-ए-आबी हैं मगर
रहते हैं रोज़ ओ शब ओ शाम-ओ-सहर पानी में
The soft touch of the eye's sight, the soft touch of the water, yet
We live daily through the night and the day in the water.
The soft touch of the eye's sight and the soft touch of the water are there, yet we live daily through night and day, evening and morning, in the water.

हैअत आँखों की नहीं वो रही रोते रोते
अब तो गिर्दाब से आते हैं नज़र पानी में
The tears are no longer from the eyes' grief, / Now they seem to flow from the whirlpool's spray.
The tears are no longer from the eyes' sorrow; now they seem to emerge from the whirlpool's spray.
8
गिर्या-ए-शब से बहुत आँख डरे है मेरी
पाँव रुकते ही नहीं बार-ए-दिगर पानी में
My eyes have feared the grave-like darkness greatly,
For my feet do not stop in the water of another life.
My eyes have greatly feared the grave-like darkness, for my feet do not stop in the water of another life.
9
फ़र्त-ए-गिर्या से हुआ 'मीर' तबाह अपना जहाज़
तख़्ता पारे गए क्या जानूँ किधर पानी में
From the torrent of tears, 'Mir' ruined his own ship;
I don't know where the water has taken the plank.
From the torrent of tears, 'Mir' ruined his own ship; I don't know where the plank has taken in the water.
