इशारे क्या निगह-ए-नाज़-ए-दिलरुबा के चले
Ishaare Kyaa Nigah-e-Naaz-e-Dil Rubaa Ke Chale Meer
The verses
इशारे क्या निगह-ए-नाज़-ए-दिलरुबा के चले सितम के तीर चले नीमचे क़ज़ा के चले
Meaning: What deadly signs were cast by the charmer's coquettish glance; arrows of cruelty flew, and the daggers of doom advanced.
मिसाल-ए-माही-ए-बे-आब मौजें तड़पा कीं हबाब फूट के रोए जो तुम नहा के चले
Meaning: Like fish cast out of water, the waves writhed in despair; The bubbles burst into weeping as you bathed and walked away.
मिला जिन्हें उन्हें उफ़्तादगी से औज मिला उन्हीं ने खाई है ठोकर जो सर उठा के चले
Meaning: Those who attained the heights reached them through humility; they alone have stumbled who walked with heads held high.
'अनीस' दम का भरोसा नहीं ठहर जाओ चराग़ ले के कहाँ सामने हवा के चले
Meaning: 'Anis', life is not promised for another breath, pause and stay awhile; where do you go, carrying a flickering lamp against the wind?
