जाना कि शग़्ल रखते हो तीर-ओ-कमाँ से तुम
पर मिल चला करो भी कसो ख़स्ता-जाँ से तुम
Whether you keep an interest in the bow and arrow,
Or whether you are capable of love for a fragile life.
Whether you are interested in the bow and arrow, or whether you are capable of love for a fragile life.

हम अपनी चाक जेब को सी रहते या नहीं
फाटे में पाँव देने को आए कहाँ से तुम
Whether we keep our pocket shut or not,
From where have you come to give your foot to a tear?
Whether we keep our pocket sewn shut or not, from where have you come to put your foot in a tear?

अब देखते हैं ख़ूब तो वो बात ही नहीं
क्या क्या वगर्ना कहते थे अपनी ज़बाँ से तुम
Now, if I look closely, it's not that thing; / It's everything else that you used to say with your tongue.
Now, if I look closely, it's not that specific thing; it's everything else that you used to speak with your tongue.

तिनके भी तुम ठहरते कहीं देखे हैं तनिक
चश्म-ए-वफ़ा रखो न ख़सान-ए-जहाँ से तुम
Even the smallest strands of hair, I have seen them settle somewhere; keep your mirror of loyalty, lest you lose the whole world.
I have seen even the smallest strands settle somewhere; keep your mirror of loyalty, lest you lose the entire world.

जाओ न दिल से मंज़र-ए-तन में है जा यही
पछताओगे उठोगे अगर इस मकाँ से तुम
Do not leave from the sight of my heart, for this very dwelling place of mine, you will regret if you ever leave.
Do not leave the sight of my heart, for this very body is my dwelling, and if you leave this place, you will surely regret it.

क़िस्सा मिरा सुनोगे तो जाती रहेगी नींद
आराम चश्म मत रखो इस दास्ताँ से तुम
If you listen to my tale, sleep will keep departing,
Do not keep your eyes resting from this story.
If you listen to my tale, sleep will keep departing; do not keep your eyes resting from this story.

खुल जाएँगी फिर आँखें जो मर जाएगा कोई
आते नहीं हो बाज़ मिरे इम्तिहाँ से तुम
The eyes will open again, even if someone dies,
You do not come from my test, oh my beloved.
The eyes will open again, even if someone dies; you do not come from my test, oh my beloved.

जितने थे कल तुम आज नहीं पाते इतना हम
हर-दम चले ही जाते हो आब-ए-रवाँ से तुम
As many you were yesterday, today you do not have; / You continue to flow, like the ever-moving stream.
As many you were yesterday, you are not today; you keep flowing, like a moving stream.

रहते नहीं हो बन गए 'मीर' उस गली में रात
कुछ राह भी निकालो सग-ओ-पास्बाँ से तुम
You no longer reside in that alley, 'Mir', at night;
Find some path, please, away from the guard and the leash.
You no longer reside in that alley, 'Mir', at night; please find some path away from the guard and the leash.
