मेरे संग-ए-मज़ार पर फ़रहाद
रख के तेशा कहे है या उस्ताद
On the marble of the tomb, Farhad,
What secret has the master revealed?

हम से बिन मर्ग क्या जुदा हो मलाल
जान के साथ है दिल-ए-नाशाद

My heart remains joyful, though you are far away.
What sorrow can separate from me, my beloved? My heart remains joyful.

मूँद आँखें सफ़र अदम का कर
बस है देखा न आलम-ए-ईजाद
To close the eyes, the journey of the self-restrained spirit,
It is enough, having merely glimpsed the world of creation.
Close your eyes, on the journey of the restrained spirit; it is enough that one has merely glimpsed the world of creation.

ख़ाक भी सर पे डालने को नहीं
किस ख़राबे में हम हुए आबाद
Even dust cannot be found upon my head,
In what ruin have we settled and prospered?

लगती है कुछ सुमूम सी तो नसीम
ख़ाक किस दिलजले की बर्बाद

Whose ashes are the ruins of a heart ablaze.

भूला जाए है ग़म-ए-बुताँ में जी
ग़रज़ आता है फिर ख़ुदा ही याद

But when the need arises, only God is remembered.

तेरे क़ैद-ए-क़फ़स का क्या शिकवा
नाले अपने से अपने से फ़रियाद
What complaint can be made of the captivity of the cage?
The streams themselves cry out to themselves.

Your garden is your home, oh Sayyad.

हम को मरना ये है कि कब हों कहीं
अपनी क़ैद-ए-हयात से आज़ाद

From this captivity of life, wherever we may be?
