Ghazal
Pal Mein Jahaan Ko Dekhte Mere Dubo Chuka / Ik Waqt Mein Ye Deeda Bhi
पल में जहाँ को देखते मेरे डुबो चुका
This ghazal speaks of the poet losing himself in the beloved's gaze, submerging his entire world. The passage of time, filled with the storm of waiting and the intoxication of life, has passed in an instant. It beautifully captures the depth of love and the helplessness associated with the passage of time.

पल में जहाँ को देखते मेरे डुबो चुका
इक वक़्त में ये दीदा भी तूफ़ान रो चुका
In a moment, my eyes drowned in seeing the world; / In an instant, these very eyes have also been washed by a storm.
In a moment, I was drowned while seeing the world; in an instant, these very eyes have also been washed by a storm.

अफ़्सोस मेरे मुर्दे पर इतना न कर कि अब
पछताना यूँ ही सा है जो होना था हो चुका
Don't grieve for me so much that now I have to regret what was meant to happen, has already happened.
Don't grieve for me so much that I now have to regret what was meant to happen, has already happened.

लगती नहीं पलक से पलक इंतिज़ार में
आँखें अगर यही हैं तो भर नींद सो चुका
The eyelids do not blink in this wait,
If these are the eyes, then sleep is over.
The eyelids are so tired in this wait that they do not blink. If these are the eyes, then sleep is completely over.

यक चश्मक-ए-प्याला है साक़ी बहार-ए-उम्र
झपकी लगी कि दूर ये आख़िर ही हो चुका
The cup of your intoxicating grace, O cupbearer, is the spring of life; I doze, and suddenly, it is all over.
O cupbearer, this cup, which is like a pair of spectacles, is the spring of life; I dozed off, and suddenly, it is all over.

मुमकिन नहीं कि गुल करे वैसी शगुफ़्तगी
उस सरज़मीं में तुख़्म-ए-मोहब्बत मैं बो चुका
It is not possible that such a beautiful charm blossoms
In that land where I have sown the seed of love.
It is not possible that such a beautiful charm blossoms in that land where I have sown the seed of love.

पाया न दिल बहाया हुआ सैल-ए-अश्क का
मैं पंजा-ए-मिज़ा से समुंदर बिलो चुका
The mountain-sea of tears, I could not find its shore,
With the paw of my temper, I made the ocean roar.
Con the paw of my temper, I made the ocean roar, yet I could not find the shore of the mountain-sea of tears.

हर सुब्ह हादसे से ये कहता है आसमाँ
दे जाम-ए-ख़ून 'मीर' को गर मुँह वो धो चुका
Every morning, the sky says this to me,
'If he has washed the cup of blood, give it to me, Mir.'
Every morning, the sky says to him, 'If he has washed the cup of blood, give it to me.'
