हिज्राँ की कोफ़्त खींचे बे-दम से हो चले हैं
सर मार मार या'नी अब हम भी सो चले हैं
The sorrow of separation has dragged us, lifeless and spent,
We strike the head, Ya'ni, now we, too, have fallen asleep.
The sorrow of separation has dragged us, lifeless and spent; we strike the head, meaning, now we, too, have fallen asleep.

जवीं रहेंगी जारी गुलशन में एक मुद्दत
साए में हर शजर के हम ज़ोर रो चले हैं
In the garden, the roses will bloom for some time,
For every tree in the shade, we have shed tears.
In the garden, the roses will continue to bloom for a while, but for every tree in the shade, we have shed many tears.

लबरेज़ अश्क आँखें हर बात में रहा कीं
रो रो के काम अपने सब हम डुबो चले हैं
Labrez, tears in your eyes, in every matter you kept, / Crying, we have submerged all our own affairs.
Labrez, you kept tears in your eyes regarding every matter, and by crying, we have submerged all our own affairs.

पछताइए न क्यूँकर जी इस तरह से दे कर
ये गौहर-गिरामी हम मुफ़्त खो चले हैं
Don't make me regret it, Kuṅkar ji, by doing this; we have lost these valuable gems for free.
Don't make me regret it, Kuṅkar ji, by doing this; we have lost these valuable gems for free.

क़त्अ तरीक़ मुश्किल है इश्क़ का निहायत
वे 'मीर' जानते हैं इस राह जो चले हैं
The path of love is extremely difficult, indeed; / Only those who have walked this way, O 'Mir', truly know.
The path of love is extremely difficult, indeed; / Only those who have walked this way, O 'Mir', truly know.
