सुन बे-क़रार दिल की अवल आह-ए-शोला-ख़ेज़
तब इस हरफ़ में दिल के मआनी कूँ देख तूँ
Listen first to the restless heart's flame-kindling sigh; only then behold within these words the true meanings of the heart.

ख़ूबी सूँ तुझ हुज़ूर ओ शमा दम-ज़नी में है
उस बे-हया की चर्ब-ज़बानी कूँ देख तूँ
Right before your radiant presence, that candle dares to boast its grace; / Just behold the oily-tongued insolence of that shameless flame!
That candle dares to boast of its beauty right in your presence; just look at the shameless audacity and smooth-talking of that creature!

दरिया पे जा के मौज-ए-रवाँ पर नज़र न कर
अंझुवाँ की मेरे आ के रवानी कूँ देख तूँ
Go not to the river to gaze upon the flowing wave; come hither instead, and behold the ceaseless stream of my tears.
Do not go to the river to look at the flowing waves; instead, come and behold the flow of my tears.

तुझ शौक़ का जो दाग़ 'वली' के जिगर में है
बे-ताक़ती में उस की निशानी कूँ देख तूँ
The wound of yearning for you that marks Wali's heart / Behold its proof in his utter, trembling helplessness.
Look at the sign of the scar of your longing that marks Wali's heart in his utter weakness and helplessness.
