राह-ए-दूर-ए-इश्क़ में रोता है क्या
आगे आगे देखिए होता है क्या
In the path of distant love, why do you weep?
Look ahead, and see what it unfolds.
Why do you cry on the path of distant love? Look ahead and see what unfolds.

क़ाफ़िले में सुब्ह के इक शोर है
या'नी ग़ाफ़िल हम चले सोता है क्या
In the caravan, there is a morning noise,
Or does the oblivious one wander while sleeping?
In the caravan, there is a morning noise; does the oblivious one wander while sleeping?

सब्ज़ होती ही नहीं ये सरज़मीं
तुख़्म-ए-ख़्वाहिश दिल में तू बोता है क्या
This land never becomes fertile,
Or do you sow the seeds of desire in the heart?
This land never becomes fertile, or do you sow the seeds of desire in the heart?

ये निशान-ए-इश्क़ हैं जाते नहीं
दाग़ छाती के अबस धोता है क्या
These marks of love, they do not depart,
What can wash away the stains upon my breast?
These marks of love do not fade away; what can wash away the stains on my chest?

ग़ैरत-ए-यूसुफ़ है ये वक़्त-ए-अज़ीज़
'मीर' उस को राएगाँ खोता है क्या
This is the pride of Joseph in this precious time,
'Mir,' are you going to lose him for nothing?
