Ghazal
Us Ke Kooche Se Jo Uth Ahl-e-wafa Jaate Hain
उस के कूचे से जो उठ अहल-ए-वफ़ा जाते हैं
This ghazal speaks of the group of true devotees leaving a certain place, who are engaged in flirtatious glances and proceeding together. It advises that continuous crying will not extinguish the fire of the heart, as even a few tears will only ignite it further. The poem also touches upon those present in the gathering who share the details of every aspect of life, and the speaker suggests that they are now in a position to reveal their true condition.

उस के कूचे से जो उठ अहल-ए-वफ़ा जाते हैं
ता-नज़र काम करे रू-ब-क़फ़ा जाते हैं
From whose lane the loyal hearts depart,
And the lovers’ glances leave the face's art.
From whose dwelling the loyal hearts depart, and from whose gaze the beloved's face is lost.

मुत्तसिल रोते ही रहिए तो बुझे आतिश-ए-दिल
एक दो आँसू तो और आग लगा जाते हैं
If you keep crying endlessly, the heart's fire will die down; / But just a couple more tears will set it ablaze again.
If you keep crying endlessly, the heart's fire will die down; but just a couple more tears will set it ablaze again.

वक़्त-ए-ख़ुश उन का जो हम-बज़्म हैं तेरे हम तो
दर-ओ-दीवार को अहवाल सुना जाते हैं
In the time of joy, those who are with you in the gathering, we are merely those who recount the state of the door and the wall.

जाएगी ताक़त-ए-पा आह तू करीएगा क्या
अब तो हम हाल कभू तुम को दिखा जाते हैं
The power of your foot will leave, so what will you do?
Now we will show you the condition of our heart.
is: When the power of your foot leaves, what will you do? Now we will show you the condition of our heart.

एक बीमार-ए-जुदाई हूँ मैं आफी तिस पर
पूछने वाले जुदा जान को खा जाते हैं
I am a patient of separation, and on this ailment,
The ones who ask, consume the separated soul.
I am a patient of separation, and those who ask questions consume the separated soul.

ग़ैर की तेग़-ए-ज़बाँ से तिरी मज्लिस में तो हम
आ के रोज़ एक नया ज़ख़्म उठा जाते हैं
From the stranger's sword of tongue, in your gathering, we / Arrive daily and receive a new wound.
From the stranger's sword of tongue, in your gathering, we arrive daily and receive a new wound.

अर्ज़-ए-वहशत न दिया कर तो बगूले इतनी
अपनी वादी पे कभू यार भी आ जाते हैं
If you do not give the address of your sadness, then, my dear, even friends sometimes come to your riverbank.

'मीर' साहब भी तिरे कूचे में शब आते हैं लेक
जैसे दरयूज़ा-गरी करने गदा जाते हैं
Even 'Mir' Sahib comes to your street at night,
Like someone going to a temple for a sacred offering.
