रंगीनी-ए-इश्क़ इस के मिले पर हुई मा'लूम

कब से मुतहम्मिल है जफ़ाओं का दिल-ए-ज़ार

वा'दा भी क़यामत का भला कोई है वा'दा

मुद्दत हुई घुट घुट के हमें शहर में मरते

It has been a long time, suffocatingly, that we are dying in this city;
No one has become aware of that secret effect until now.

बरसों हुए दिल-सोख़्ता बुलबुल को मूए लेक
इक दूद सा उठता है चमन-ज़ार से अब तक

Now rises like a gentle stream from the garden's charm.

क्या जानिए होते हैं सुख़न लुत्फ़ के कैसे
पूछा नहीं उन ने तो हमें प्यार से अब तक

They never asked us, even with affection, till now.

उस बाग़ में अग़्लब है कि सरज़द न हुआ हो
यूँ नाला-कसो मुर्ग़-ए-गिरफ़्तार से अब तक

Nor has the cage-bound rooster found peace until now.

निकला था कहीं वो गुल-ए-नाज़ुक शब-ए-मह में
सो कोफ़्त नहीं जाती है रुख़्सार से अब तक

And since then, the blush has not left her cheek.

देखा था कहीं साया तिरे क़द का चमन में
हैं 'मीर'-जी आवारा-परी दार से अब तक
I once saw the shadow of your stature in a garden; O Meer-ji, the wandering fairy has been there until now.
