Ghazal
मस्ती ब-ज़ौक़-ए-ग़फ़लत-ए-साक़ी हलाक है
This ghazal explores the paradoxical nature of passion and unfulfilled desire. It laments how intoxication is ruined by the cup-bearer's negligence, and how the heart yearns only for the pain inflicted by the beloved's coquetry. The intensity of love-induced madness distorts reality, making the vast desert seem insignificant.

मस्ती ब-ज़ौक़-ए-ग़फ़लत-ए-साक़ी हलाक है
मौज-ए-शराब यक-मिज़ा-ए-ख़्वाब-नाक है
The bliss of intoxication is destroyed by the saqi's heedlessness; The wave of wine is but a single drowsy blink.
The bliss of intoxication is destroyed by the saqi's heedlessness. The wave of wine is but a single drowsy blink.

जुज़ ज़ख्म-ए-तेग़-ए-नाज़ नहीं दिल में आरज़ू
जेब-ए-ख़याल भी तिरे हाथों से चाक है
My heart desires naught but the wound of your graceful blade,
Even my mind's own fabric by your hands is frayed.
My heart has no desire other than the wound from your graceful sword. Even the fabric of my thoughts is torn by your hands.

जोश-ए-जुनूँ से कुछ नज़र आता नहीं 'असद'
सहरा हमारी आँख में यक-मुश्त-ए-ख़ाक है
In passion's frenzy, Asad, nothing is seen;The desert in our eyes is but a handful of dust.
Asad, in the frenzy of passion, nothing is visible. For us, even the desert appears as merely a handful of dust in our eyes.
