शश-जिहत से इस में ज़ालिम बू-ए-ख़ूँ की राह है

From the direction of your grace, there is a path of the cruel scent of blood; tell us, from which memory-place is your path?

एक निभने का नहीं मिज़्गाँ तलक बोझल हैं सब
कारवाँ लख़्त-ए-दिल-ए-हर-अश्क के हमराह है
Everything is weighed down, not just for one to endure; / Our journey, the path of the heart, is accompanied by every tear.
Not just for one to bear, everything is weighed down; our caravan, the path of the heart, is accompanied by every tear.

पा-बरहना ख़ाक सर में मू परेशाँ सीना चाक
हाल मेरा देखने आ तेरे ही दिल-ख़्वाह है
Oh, my heart, adorned with dust and sorrow, my chest fluttering with distress,
My condition, I have come to see it in your own heart's longing.
My hair is covered in dust, and my chest is fluttering with distress; I have come to see my condition reflected in your own heart's longing.

इस जुनूँ पर 'मीर' कोई भी फिरे है शहर में
जादा-ए-सहरा से कर साज़िश जो तुझ से राह है
On this madness, 'Mir' says, whoever roams the city,
What scheme is there in the path that lies between you and the desert's expanse?
