मुस्तूजिब-ए-ज़ुलम-ओ-सितम-ओ-जौर-ओ-जफ़ा हूँ
हर-चंद कि जलता हूँ पे सरगर्म-ए-वफ़ा हूँ

आते हैं मुझे ख़ूब से दोनों हुनर-ए-इश्क़
रोने के तईं आँधी हूँ कुढ़ने को बला हूँ
Both skills of love arrive to me, so wonderfully,
I am a storm ready to cry, a curse to be endured.
I have both skills of love very well. I am a storm for crying and a calamity to be endured.

इस गुलशन-ए-दुनिया में शगुफ़्ता न हुआ मैं
हूँ ग़ुंचा-ए-अफ़्सुर्दा कि मर्दूद-ए-सबा हूँ
In this garden of the world, I did not blossom, I am a wilted bud, a scattered breath of the spring breeze.
In this garden of the world, I did not blossom; I am a wilted bud, a scattered breath of the spring breeze.

हम-चश्म है हर आबला-ए-पा का मिरा अश्क
अज़-बस कि तिरी राह में आँखों से चला हूँ
My tears are the only water for every lover,
Because I have walked the path of my eyes for you.
My tears are the only water for every lover, because I have walked the path of my eyes for you.

आया कोई भी तरह मिरे चीन की होगी
आज़ुर्दा हूँ जीने से मैं मरने से ख़फ़ा हूँ
By whatever way someone comes, my China's will be his; I am indifferent to living or dying.
By whatever means someone comes, my China will be theirs; I am indifferent to life or death.
6
दामन न झटक हाथ से मेरे कि सितमगर
हूँ ख़ाक-ए-सर-ए-राह कोई दम में हुआ हूँ
Do not shake off my hem with your hand, O cruel one; I am merely dust upon the path, existing for a moment.
Do not shake off my hem with your hand, O cruel one; I am merely dust upon the path, existing for a moment.

दिल ख़्वाह जला अब तो मुझे ऐ शब-ए-हिज्राँ
मैं सोख़्ता भी मुंतज़िर-ए-रोज़-ए-जज़ा हूँ
Oh my heart, which is consumed by longing, I am also waiting for the day of recompense.
Oh heart, which is consumed by longing, now let me [rest/be free], O night of separation; I am also waiting for the day of recompense.

गो ताक़त-ओ-आराम-ओ-ख़ोर-ओ-ख़्वाब गए सब
बारे ये ग़नीमत है कि जीता तो रहा हूँ
O, strength, rest, sustenance, and dreams, all have departed,
It is a blessing that I am still alive.
Oh, strength, rest, sustenance, and dreams, all have departed; it is a blessing that I am still alive.
9
इतना ही मुझे इल्म है कुछ मैं हूँ बहर-चीज़
मा'लूम नहीं ख़ूब मुझे भी कि मैं क्या हूँ
This much knowledge I possess, what kind of being I am,
Even I do not know, my true nature or what I am.
I possess only this much knowledge of who I am, but I do not truly know what I am.
10
बेहतर है ग़रज़ ख़ामुशी ही कहने से याराँ
मत पूछो कुछ अहवाल कि मर मर के जिया हूँ
It is better to let the need remain silent, my friend,
Do not ask about my condition, for I have lived in utter misery.
Oh friend, it is better to let the need remain silent. Do not ask about my condition, because I have lived through utter misery.
11
तब गर्म-ए-सुख़न कहने लगा हूँ मैं कि इक उम्र
जूँ शम्अ' सर-ए-शाम से ता-सुब्ह जला हूँ
I say that this heat of speech is that I have lit a candle
From the dusk of evening till the dawn of morning.
The speaker says that this sweet talk (heat of speech) is because he has kept a candle lit from dusk till dawn for a lifetime. (The candle represents continuous effort or effort over a long period).
12
सीना तो किया फ़ज़्ल-ए-इलाही से सभी चाक
है वक़्त-ए-दुआ 'मीर' कि अब दिल को लगा हूँ
All gifts, truly, came by the grace of the Almighty;
It is time for prayer, Meer, that I have found my heart.
All gifts, truly, came by the grace of the Almighty; it is time for prayer, Meer, that I have found my heart.
