बे-कसाना जी गिरफ़्तारी से शेवन में रहा

A heart that was an admirer of sorrow remained in the blooming paradise.

पंजा-ए-गुल की तरह दीवानगी में हाथ को
गर निकाला में गरेबाँ से तो दामन में रहा
Like a garden of flowers, the madness took hold of the hand,
If pulled from the curtain, it remained in the hem.

शम' साँ जलते रहे लेकिन न तोड़ा यार से

डर से उस शमशीर-ज़न के जौहर आईना साँ
सर से ले कर पाँव तक मैं ग़र्क़ आहन में रहा
From the shining mirror of the sword-wielder's fear, I remained immersed in the tide from head to toe.

हम न कहते थे कि मत दैर-ओ-हरम की राह चल
अब ये दा'वा हश्र तक शैख़-ओ-बरहमन में रहा

दरपय-ए-दिल ही रहे उस चेहरे के ख़ाल-ए-सियाह
डर हमें उन चोंटों का रोज़-ए-रौशन में रहा
The heart's curtain remains that dark face's pallor,
We fear those wounds in the bright day's show.
The curtain of the heart remains on that dark face's pallor, and we fear those wounds visible even in the bright day.

आह किस अंदाज़ से गुज़रा बयाबाँ से कि 'मीर'
जी हर इक नख़चीर का उस सैद-ए-अफ़्गन में रहा
Oh, what a style with which you passed through the desert, 'Meer' / That every trace of your existence remained in that Afghan saint.
