Ghazal
Dil Ishq Ka Hamesha Harif-e-nabard Tha
दिल इश्क़ का हमेशा हरीफ़-ए-नबर्द था
This ghazal suggests that the heart's love has always been a green, vibrant color (like a jewel). Every spot or pain in life was accompanied by a dusty path. The poem speaks of the heart's brokenness causing fear, and when that feeling arrived, it was marked by a pale, yellow hue.

दिल इश्क़ का हमेशा हरीफ़-ए-नबर्द था

इक गर्द-ए-राह था पय-ए-महमिल तमाम राह

मानिंद-ए-हर्फ़ सफ़्हा-ए-हस्ती से उठ गया
दिल भी मिरा जरीदा-ए-आलम में फ़र्द था

My heart too was a solitary particle in the thread of the universe.

था पुश्ता रेग-ए-बाद ये इक वक़्त कारवाँ

गुज़री मुदाम उस की जवानान-ए-मस्त में

आशिक़ हैं हम तो 'मीर' के भी ज़ब्त-ए-इश्क़ के
दिल जल गया था और नफ़स लब पे सर्द था

Burned the heart, and the breath was cold upon the lips.
