आगे हमारे अहद से वहशत को जा न थी
दीवानगी कसो की भी ज़ंजीर-ए-पा न थी
Before me, the wilderness was unknown to his covenant,
His madness was also beyond the chains of fate.

Though the spring departed, a beloved was not there to see it through.

कब था ये शोर-ए-नौहा तिरा इश्क़ जब न था

वो और कोई होगी सहर जब हुई क़ुबूल
शर्मिंदा-ए-असर तो हमारी दुआ न थी
Who else could be, when dawn was accepted as true,
It was not our prayer to be ashamed of your grace.

आगे भी तेरे इश्क़ से खींचे थे दर्द-ओ-रंज

देखे दयार-ए-हुस्न के में कारवाँ बहुत
लेकिन कसो के पास मता-ए-वफ़ा न थी

आई परी सी पर्दा-ए-मीना से जाम तक
आँखों में तेरी दुख़्तर-ए-रज़ क्या हया न थी
Like a curtain of Mina, from the cup to the mouth,
What was the modesty in your eyes, O lover of sorrow?

इस वक़्त से क्या है मुझे तो चराग़-ए-वक़्फ़

पज़मुर्दा इस क़दर हैं कि है शुबह हम को 'मीर'
