ख़ूब थे वे दिन कि हम तेरे गिरफ़्तारों में थे
ग़म-ज़दों अंदोह-गीनों ज़ुल्म के मारों में थे
How wonderful were those days when we were in your captivity, when we were among the sorrowful, melancholic, and oppressed by cruelty.
How wonderful were those days when we were in your captivity, when we were among the sorrowful, melancholic, and oppressed by cruelty.

दुश्मनी जानी है अब तो हम से ग़ैरों के लिए
इक समाँ सा हो गया वो भी कि हम यारों में थे
Now, for strangers, they know our enmity,
But for our friends, a different atmosphere has formed.
Now, our enmity is known to strangers, but a different atmosphere has formed for our friends.

मत तबख़्तुर से गुज़र क़ुमरी हमारी ख़ाक पर
हम भी इक सर्व-ए-रवाँ के नाज़-बरदारों में थे
Do not pass by my dust, O moon, from the marble floor; / We too were among the adornments of a flowing stream.
Do not pass by my dust, O moon, from the marble floor; / We too were among the adornments of a flowing stream.

मर गए लेकिन न देखा तू ने ऊधर आँख उठा
आह क्या क्या लोग ज़ालिम तेरे बीमारों में थे
You did not even see me there, though I am dead; oh, what cruel people, you were in the sick among them.
You did not even lift your eyes to see me there, though I am dead; oh, what cruel people, you were among the sick.

शैख़-जी मिंदील कुछ बिगड़ी सी है क्या आप भी
रिंदों बाँकों मय-कशों आशुफ़्ता दस्तारों में थे
Sheikh-ji, is something wrong with your handkerchief, or are you also among the intoxicated, wine-loving, and agitated ones?
Sheikh-ji, is there something wrong with your handkerchief, or are you also among the intoxicated, wine-loving, and agitated ones?

गरचे जुर्म-ए-इश्क़ ग़ैरों पर भी साबित था वले
क़त्ल करना था हमें हम ही गुनहगारों में थे
The crime of love was proven even against strangers, O Beloved,
Yet to commit the murder, we ourselves were the guilty ones.
is that even though the crime of love was proven even against strangers, O Beloved, we ourselves were the guilty ones to commit the murder.

इक रहा मिज़्गाँ की सफ़ में एक के टुकड़े हुए
दिल जिगर जो 'मीर' दोनों अपने ग़म-ख़्वारों में थे
In the flush of Mizgaan, pieces were torn apart,
Heart and liver, O Meer, both in your grief-makers' hands.
In the line of Mizgaan, pieces were torn apart, heart and liver, O Meer, both were in the hands of your grief-makers.
