आए हैं 'मीर' मुँह को बनाए ख़फ़ा से आज
शायद बिगड़ गई है कुछ उस बेवफ़ा से आज
Meer has arrived, with a face full of displeasure today; perhaps something has soured with that unfaithful one today.

We would ask God for death right now.

साक़ी टुक एक मौसम-ए-गुल की तरफ़ भी देख

Today, the color is dripping into the garden from the wind.
