ज़बाँ रख ग़ुंचा साँ अपने दहन में
बंधी मुट्ठी चला जा इस चमन में
Keep your mouth shut, keep your burning within yourself,
Take this bound fist and walk through this garden.
Keep your mouth shut and your burning feelings within yourself, and take this bound fist and walk through this garden.

न खोल ऐ यार मेरा गोर में मुँह
कि हसरत है मिरी जागा कफ़न में
Oh friend, do not let my face enter your eyes,
For my yearning is within the shroud.
Oh friend, do not let my face enter your eyes, for my yearning is within the shroud.

रखा कर हाथ दिल पर आह करते
नहीं रहता चराग़ ऐसी पवन में
Holding the hand upon the heart, sighing,
Holding the hand upon the heart and sighing, a lamp cannot remain in such a wind.

जले दिल की मुसीबत अपने सुन कर
लगी है आग सारे तन बदन में
Hearing of the distress of a burnt heart,
Fire has spread throughout the entire body.
Upon hearing of the distress of a burnt heart, fire has spread throughout the entire body.

न तुझ बिन होश में हम आए साक़ी
मुसाफ़िर ही रहे अक्सर वतन में
O Saqi, without you, we returned to consciousness,
The traveler often remains in his own homeland.
O Saqi, although we regained our consciousness without you, the traveler often remains in his own homeland.

ख़िरद-मंदी हुई ज़ंजीर वर्ना
गुज़रती ख़ूब थी दीवाना-पन में
The chain became dull, lest the madness passing
Was once beautiful in its spree.
The chain grew dull, lest the passing madness was beautiful in its spree.

कहाँ के शम-ओ-परवाने गए मर
बहुत आतश-बजाँ थे इस चमन में
Where have the lamps and moths of the evening gone,
There were so many flames in this garden.
Where have the lamps and moths of the evening gone? There were so many flames in this garden. (Meaning: This garden was once vibrant and lively, so where have the sources of light and excitement vanished?)

कहाँ आजिज़-सुख़न क़ादिर-सुख़न हूँ
हमें है शुबह यारों के सुख़न में
Where am I, capable of such speech, or capable of such verse?
It is in the talk of friends that we find doubt's pleasure.
Where am I, capable of such speech, or capable of such verse? It is in the talk of friends that we find doubt's pleasure.

गुदाज़ इश्क़ में ब भी गया 'मीर'
यही धोका सा है अब पैरहन में
In the intoxication of love, even my buttock (or self) has been lost, O Meer; this is now the deception in the clothing.
