उम्र भर हम रहे शराबी से
दिल-ए-पुर-ख़ूँ की इक गुलाबी से
All my life, I remained with the drunkard,
From the heart of the brave, a blush of pink.
All my life, I remained with the drunkard, from the heart of the brave, a blush of pink.

जी ढहा जाए है सहर से आह
रात गुज़रेगी किस ख़राबी से
How will the morning break from the night's sighing pain,
How will the night pass through such a deep despairing strain?
The Shayar asks how the morning will emerge from the night's pain, and how this night will pass through such deep despair.

खिलना कम कम कली ने सीखा है
उस की आँखों की नीम-ख़्वाबी से
The bud has learned to bloom,
From the sleep-drowsiness of those eyes.
The bud has learned to bloom gradually, from the sleep-drowsiness of those eyes.

बुर्क़ा उठते ही चाँद सा निकला
दाग़ हूँ उस की बे-हिजाबी से
As soon as the burqa lifted, she shone like the moon,
But the stain is from her unveiled grace.
As soon as the burqa was lifted, she glowed like the moon, but the stain/mark comes from her unveiled beauty.

काम थे इश्क़ में बहुत पर 'मीर'
हम ही फ़ारिग़ हुए शिताबी से
I had much passion for love, O Meer,
But I was left empty of life's zest.
I was deeply attached to love, but 'Meer' says that I have been left empty of life's zest or enthusiasm.
