चाक पर चाक हुआ जूँ जूँ सुलाया हम ने
इस गरेबाँ ही से अब हाथ उठाया हम ने
The wheel turned upon the axle, we made it sleep so gently,
From this very embrace, we have now raised our hand.
The wheel turned upon the axle, which we made sleep so gently; from this very embrace, we have now raised our hand.

हसरत-ए-लुत्फ़-ए-अज़ीज़ान-ए-चमन जी में रही
सर पे देखा न गुल-ओ-सर्व का साया हम ने
In the garden of the beloved's grace, my yearning remained,
I never saw the shade of the flower and the head.

जी में था अर्श पे जा बाँधिए तकिया लेकिन
बिस्तरा ख़ाक ही में अब तो बिछाया हम ने
In the heavens, you would bind a pillow to the throne, but
We have spread the bed in the dust now.

बा'द यक उम्र कहीं तुम को जो तन्हा पाया
डरते डरते ही कुछ अहवाल सुनाया हम ने
After an age, wherever I found you alone,
I told you some stories, out of fear and fright.

याँ फ़क़त रेख़्ता ही कहने न आए थे हम
चार दिन ये भी तमाशा सा दिखाया हम ने
We never came to speak merely of poetry, / We merely put on a show for these four days.
We did not come here just to speak of poetry; we merely put on a show for these four days.

बारे कल बाग़ में जा मुर्ग़-ए-चमन से मिल कर
ख़ूबी-ए-गुल का मज़ा ख़ूब उड़ाया हम ने
In the garden, having met the birds of the meadow,
We thoroughly enjoyed the delight of the flower's beauty.

ताज़गी दाग़ की हर शाम को बे-हेच नहीं
आह क्या जाने दिया किस का बुझाया हम ने
The stain of freshness is not restless every evening,
Ah, what can I say, whose fire have we extinguished?

दश्त-ओ-कोहसार में सर मार के चंदे तुझ बिन
क़ैस-ओ-फ़रहाद को फिर याद दिलाया हम ने
In the wilderness and mountains, by striking the spear, we reminded Qais and Farhad of you.

बेकली से दिल-ए-बेताब की मर गुज़रे थे
सो तह-ए-ख़ाक भी आराम न पाया हम ने
From Beckley, the restless heart passed by;
Even beneath the dust, we found no rest.

ये सितम ताज़ा हुआ और कि पाईज़ में 'मीर'
दिल ख़स-ओ-ख़ार से नाचार लगाया हम ने
This cruelty was fresh, and in the month of Paiz, 'Meer',
We inflicted wounds upon the heart with thorns and roses.
