ऐ अब्र-ए-तर तू और किसी सम्त को बरस
इस मुल्क में हमारी है ये चश्म-ए-तर ही बस
O rain of the sky, shower upon no other place,
For in this land, only our spring of tears remains.
O cloud, do not shower on any other place, for in this land, only our spring of tears remains.

हिरमाँ तो देख फूल बिखेरे थी कल सबा
इक बर्ग-ए-गुल गिरा न जहाँ था मिरा क़फ़स
The dawn, once scattered with flowers, was seen by Him;
A single petal fell from the flower where my cage was.
He saw that the morning was scattered with flowers, and a single petal fell from the flower where my cage was.

मिज़्गाँ भी बह गईं मिरे रोने से चश्म की
सैलाब मौज मारे तो ठहरे है कोई ख़स
Even the eyebrows washed away from my tears, O fountain of tears, if a wave of deluge strikes, is there anyone to stop it?
Even the eyebrows washed away from my tears, O fountain of tears, if a wave of deluge strikes, is there anyone to stop it?

मजनूँ का दिल हूँ महमिल-ए-लैला से हूँ जुदा
तन्हा फिरूँ हूँ दश्त में जूँ नाला-ए-जरस
I am Majanun's heart, separated from the garden of Layla; I wander alone in the wilderness, without a stream or brook.
I am Majnun's heart, separated from Layla's garden; I wander alone in the wilderness, without any stream or brook.

ऐ गिर्या उस के दिल में असर ख़ूब ही किया
रोता हूँ जब मैं सामने उस के तो दे है हँस
Oh, how deeply did you touch her heart,
Oh, how deeply you affected her heart, that when I cry in front of her, she laughs.

उस की ज़बाँ के ओहदे से क्यूँकर निकल सकूँ
कहता हूँ एक मैं तो सुनाता है मुझ को दस
How shall I escape from the reach of her tongue?
I say one thing, but she makes me hear ten.
How can I escape from the reach of her tongue? I say one thing, but she makes me hear ten.

हैराँ हूँ 'मीर' नज़्अ' में अब क्या करूँ भला
अहवाल-ए-दिल बहुत है मुझे फ़ुर्सत इक नफ़स
I am bewildered, Mir, what can I do now in this verse,
For my heart's condition, I have no moment's leisure.
I am bewildered, Mir, about what I should do now in this verse, because I do not have a moment's leisure to understand the condition of my heart.
