हुजूम-ए-नाला हैरत आजिज़-ए-अर्ज़ यक-अफ़्ग़ाँ है
ख़मोशी रेशा-ए-सद-नीस्ताँ से ख़स-ब-दंदाँ है
The crowd of laments, struck with awe, can't voice a single sigh;Silence, with roots of a hundred reed-beds, holds straw between its teeth, resignedly.
The multitude of laments is so overwhelmed by astonishment that it cannot voice even a single sigh. Silence, deep as the roots of a hundred reed-beds, holds a straw between its teeth, signifying complete resignation.

तकल्लुफ़-बर-तरफ़ है जाँ-सिताँ-तर लुत्फ़-ए-बद-ख़ूयाँ
निगाह-ए-बे-हिजाब-ए-नाज़ तेग़-ए-तेज़-ए-उर्यां है
Let me speak without reserve, more fatal is the cruel's grace,
A sharp, naked sword, the unveiled gaze of that proud face.
Speaking frankly, the kindness of the ill-natured is more deadly. The proud, unveiled gaze is like a sharp, naked sword.

हुई ये कसरत-ए-ग़म से तलफ़ कैफ़ियत-ए-शादी
कि सुब्ह-ए-ईद मुझ को बद-तर अज़-चाक-ए-गरेबाँ है

दिल ओ दीं नक़्द ला साक़ी से गर सौदा किया चाहे
कि उस बाज़ार में साग़र माता-ए-दस्त-गर्दां है
If you wish to deal with the Saki, bring heart and faith as coin,For in that market, the goblet is a commodity that swiftly changes hands.

ग़म आग़ोश-ए-बला में परवरिश देता है आशिक़ को
चराग़-ए-रौशन अपना क़ुल्ज़ुम-ए-सरसर का मर्जां है
Grief, in calamity's embrace, does nurture the lover's soul,Our shining lamp is the coral of the tempest's ocean's roll.

तकल्लुफ़ साज़-ए-रुस्वाई है ग़ाफ़िल शर्म-ए-रानाई
दिल-ए-ख़ूँ-गश्ता दर दस्त-ए-हिना-आलूदा उर्यां है
O heedless one, affectation brings ignominy to beauty's modesty,The blood-soaked heart lies exposed in a henna-stained hand.

'असद' जमइयत-ए-दिल दर-किनार-ए-बे-ख़ुदी ख़ुश-तर
दो-आलम आगही सामान-ए-यक-ख़्वाब-ए-परेशाँ है
Asad, the heart's composure is more pleasant in self-oblivion's sway,For consciousness of both worlds is but a troubled dream's disarray.
