क्या कहें आतिश-ए-हिज्राँ से गले जाते हैं
छातियाँ सुलगें हैं ऐसी कि जले जाते हैं
What can I say, I go embracing the fire of separation,
My chests are so burning that they feel like they are consumed.
What can I say, I embrace the fire of separation, my chests are burning as if they are consumed.

गौहर-ए-गोश किसू का नहीं जी से जाता
आँसू मोती से मिरे मुँह पे ढले जाते हैं
The nectar of my heart is not shed by my soul,
My tears fall upon my face like pearls.
The nectar of my heart does not leave me by my soul, but my tears fall upon my face like pearls.

यही मसदूद है कुछ राह-ए-वफ़ा वर्ना बहम
सब कहीं नामा ओ पैग़ाम चले जाते हैं
This is the truth of the path of devotion, otherwise, the name and message wander everywhere.
This is the reality of the path of devotion; otherwise, the name and message wander everywhere.

बार-ए-हिरमान-ओ-गुल-ओ-दाग़ नहीं अपने साथ
शजर-ए-बाग़-ए-वफ़ा फूले फले जाते हैं
With the scent of Hyacinth, Jasmine, and the mark of disgrace, I do not possess,
The trees of the garden of fidelity bloom and wither away.
I do not possess the scent of Hyacinth, Jasmine, and the mark of disgrace; the trees of the garden of fidelity continue to bloom and wither.

हैरत-ए-इश्क़ में तस्वीर से रफ़्ता ही रहे
ऐसे जाते हैं जो हम भी तो भले जाते हैं
Lost in the wonder of love, the eyes wander from the picture,
The ones who leave, we too may just depart.
The eyes wander from the picture in the intoxication of love, but if those people leave, we too may depart just like that.

हिज्र की कोफ़्त जो खींचे हैं उन्हीं से पूछो
दिल दिए जाते हैं जी अपने मले जाते हैं
From those who draw the curtain of separation, ask them,
They give away hearts, and they let their own minds wander.
Ask those who draw the curtain of separation; they give away hearts, and they let their own minds wander.

याद-ए-क़द में तिरे आँखों से बहें हैं जुएँ
गर किसू बाग़ में हम सर्व तले जाते हैं
From the memory of your beauty, tears stream from your eyes,
If we all wander beneath some garden's sway.
From the memory of your beauty, tears stream from your eyes, if we all wander beneath some garden's sway.

देखें पेश आवे है क्या इश्क़ में अब तो जूँ सैल
हम भी इस राह में सर गाड़े चले जाते हैं
See what arrives in love, oh, now, like a mountain peak,
We too continue onward, planting our tent on this path.
Let's see what arrives in love, like a mountain peak. We too continue onward, settling down on this path.

पुर-ग़ुबारी-ए-जहाँ से नहीं सुध 'मीर' हमें
गर्द इतनी है कि मिट्टी में रुले जाते हैं
From the dust-bath of the world, 'Mir', we have lost our senses; / Our grime is so deep that we weep into the earth.
From the dust-bath of the world, 'Mir', we have lost our senses; / Our grime is so deep that we weep into the earth.
