देख कर दर-पर्दा गर्म-ए-दामन-अफ़्शानी मुझे
कर गई वाबस्ता-ए-तन मेरी उर्यानी मुझे
Beholding me, from behind the screen, my garment wildly cast,My very nakedness was then, to my own body made fast.
Upon seeing me from behind the screen, passionately shaking my garment, my nakedness then became attached to my body.

बन गया तेग़-ए-निगाह-ए-यार का संग-ए-फ़साँ

क्यूँ न हो बे-इल्तिफ़ाती उस की ख़ातिर जम्अ' है

Why wouldn't he show indifference? He is quite content;He knows me lost in hidden inquiries, silently sent.

मेरे ग़म-ख़ाने की क़िस्मत जब रक़म होने लगी

बद-गुमाँ होता है वो काफ़िर न होता काश के
इस क़दर ज़ौक़-ए-नवा-ए-मुर्ग़-ए-बुस्तानी मुझे
Oh, if only that 'kaafir' would not grow so suspicious, I yearn,For such a deep love for the garden bird's sweet song, in my heart does burn.
I wish that 'infidel' (my beloved) would not become suspicious. Because I have such a deep fondness for the song of the garden bird.

वाए वाँ भी शोर-ए-महशर ने न दम लेने दिया

Alas, even there, the Doomsday's clamour allowed no rest,Though for ease of body, I sought the grave's quiet breast.
Alas, even there, the clamor of Doomsday did not let me rest. I had gone into the grave with the desire for bodily comfort.

वा'दा आने का वफ़ा कीजे ये क्या अंदाज़ है
तुम ने क्यूँ सौंपी है मेरे घर की दरबानी मुझे

दी मिरे भाई को हक़ ने अज़-सर-ए-नौ ज़िंदगी
