Ghazal
Jhumke Dikha Ke Tur Ko Jin Ne Jala Diya
झुमके दिखा के तूर को जिन ने जला दिया
This ghazal describes a romantic scenario where the enchanting allure of a beloved (or dancer) has set the lovers (symbolized by Mount Tur) ablaze. It explores the themes of the temptations of love (fitna) and the pain of separation, where the beloved's grace has disturbed the peace and tranquility of time.

झुमके दिखा के तूर को जिन ने जला दिया
आई क़यामत उन ने जो पर्दा उठा दिया
By showing the jhumkas, they set Tur ablaze,
When they lifted the veil, they brought the apocalypse.

उस फ़ित्ने को जगा के पशेमाँ हुई नसीम

What wonderful people they put to sleep.

अब भी दिमाग़-ए-रफ़्ता हमारा है 'अर्श पर
गो आसमाँ ने ख़ाक में हम को मिला दिया
Even now, our mind is the wandering one, O Arsh,
When the sky itself cast us into dust.

जानी न क़द्र उस गुहर शब चराग़ की

I did not appreciate the gem-like lamp, O heart; I raised it up like broken pottery.

तक़्सीर जान देने में हम ने कभू न की
जब तेग़ वो बुलंद हुई सर झुका दिया

When the spear was high, we lowered our heads.

गर्मी चराग़ की सी नहीं वो मिज़ाज में

इतना कहा था फ़र्श तिरी रह के हम हों काश
सो तू ने मार मार के आ कर बिछा दिया

My heart's spirit has been exhausted by the bitterness.
Every moment I struggle to breathe, because the bitterness has exhausted the spirit of my heart.

की चश्म तू ने बाज़ कि खोला दर-ए-सितम

What kind of open wound did you create at the door of oppression?
By what claim did creation awaken you?

क्या क्या ज़ियान 'मीर' ने खींचे हैं 'इश्क़ में
दिल हाथ से दिया है जुदा सर जुदा दिया
What all threads of love has 'Mir' spun, O Mir,
My heart I gave away, and my head I separated.
What threads of love has 'Mir' spun? To express this, I have given away my heart and separated my head.
