मिसाल-ए-साया मोहब्बत में जाल अपना हूँ
तुम्हारे साथ गिरफ़्तार-ए-हाल अपना हूँ
By the example of a shadow, I am caught in the net of love;
In your company, I am arrested in my very state of being.
Like an example of a shadow, I am trapped in the net of love; with you, I am arrested in my very state of being.

सरिश्क-ए-सुर्ख़ को जाता हूँ जो पिए हर-दम
लहू का प्यासा अलल-इत्तिसाल अपना हूँ
To the crimson draught, which I drink eternally,
I am the own of the continuous connection's blood.
I am the one who drinks the crimson draught eternally. I am the own of the continuous connection's blood.

अगरचे नश्शा हूँ सब में ख़ुम-ए-जहाँ में लेक
ब-रंग-ए-मय अरक़-ए-इंफ़िआ'ल अपना हूँ
Though I am intoxicated in the wine of the world, I am mine in the wine of my own passion.
Though I am intoxicated in the intoxication of the world, I am mine in the wine of my own passion.

मिरी नुमूद ने मुझ को किया बराबर ख़ाक
मैं नक़्श-ए-पा की तरह पाएमाल अपना हूँ
My reputation was reduced to dust by her,
I am lost, like a footprint on the sand.
My reputation was reduced to dust by her, yet I am lost, like a footprint on the sand.

हुई है ज़िंदगी दुश्वार मुश्किल आसाँ कर
फिरूँ चलूँ तो हूँ पर मैं वबाल अपना हूँ
Life has become difficult and challenging, oh how to make it easy; I am the owner of my own fate, wherever I wander.

तिरा है वहम कि ये ना-तवाँ है जामे में
वगर्ना मैं नहीं अब इक ख़याल अपना हूँ

Otherwise, I am no longer merely a thought of my own.
It is merely an illusion that this is my state; otherwise, I am no longer just a thought of my own.

बला हुई है मिरी गो का तब्-ए-रौशन 'मीर'
हूँ आफ़्ताब व-लेकिन ज़वाल अपना हूँ
My heart, O glorious glow, has become weak, O Mir; I am the sun, yet I am in decline.
My heart, O glorious glow, has become weak, O Mir; I am the sun, yet I am in decline.
