Ghazal
Kasrat-e-daagh Se Dil Rashk-e-gulistan Na Hua / Mera Dil Khwah Jo
कसरत-ए-दाग़ से दिल रश्क-ए-गुलिस्ताँ न हुआ
In this ghazal, the poet states that excessive suffering (daagh) did not breed envy of the garden in his heart, and what his heart desired never came true. He mentions making many sacrifices for the beloved, but the beloved remained unaffected. The poet also suggests that his sighs did not yield the wealth of the underworld, and his tears did not create a storm. Finally, he concludes that worldly attention failed to grant him any wealth or status.

जी तो ऐसे कई सदक़े किए तुझ पर लेकिन
हैफ़ ये है कि तनिक तू भी पशेमाँ न हुआ

But alas, even you were not remorseful.

आह में कब की कि सर्माया-ए-दोज़ख़ न हुई
कौन सा अश्क मिरा मम्बा-ए-तूफ़ाँ न हुआ
When did my tears become the abyss of hell?
Which tear of mine was not the raging storm?
When did my sigh become the adornment of hell, and which tear of mine was not a raging storm?

गो तवज्जोह से ज़माने की जहाँ में मुझ को
जाह-ओ-सर्वत का मयस्सर सर-ओ-सामाँ न हुआ

शुक्र-सद-शुक्र कि मैं ज़िल्लत-ओ-ख़्वारी के सबब
किसी उन्वान में हम-चश्म-ए-अज़ीज़ाँ न हुआ

बर्क़ मत ख़ोशे की और अपनी बयाँ कर सोहबत
शुक्र कर ये कि मिरा वाँ दिल-ए-सोज़ाँ न हुआ

दिल-ए-बे-रहम गया शैख़ लिए ज़ेर-ए-ज़मीं
मर गया पर ये कुहन गब्र-मुसलमाँ न हुआ
The heart that is without mercy took the Sheikh into the earth,
Though he died, this old tomb, O Muslim, did not become (a place of rest).

कौन सी रात ज़माने में गई जिस में 'मीर'
सीना-ए-चाक से मैं दस्त-ओ-गरेबाँ न हुआ
What night, in the world, has passed, in which I, 'Mir',
Could not become detached from the chest of the beloved?
