कसरत में भी वहदत का तमाशा नज़र आया
जिस रंग में देखा तुझे यकता नज़र आया
Even amidst multiplicity, the spectacle of Oneness shone through; in whatever hue I beheld You, You appeared singular and One.
Even amidst diversity and multiplicity, the spectacle of oneness was visible; in whatever form or color I beheld You, You always appeared singular and unique.

जब उस रुख़-ए-पुर-नूर का जल्वा नज़र आया
काबा नज़र आया न कलीसा नज़र आया
When the splendor of that radiant countenance was revealed, neither the Kaaba was seen, nor was the church beheld.
When the radiant beauty of that illuminated face appeared, neither the Kaaba was seen nor was the church visible.

ये हुस्न ये शोख़ी ये करिश्मा ये अदाएँ
दुनिया नज़र आई मुझे तो क्या नज़र आया
This beauty, this coquetry, this miracle, these enchanting graces—if all I saw was the mundane world, what did I truly behold?
Amidst all this beauty, playfulness, wonder, and captivating grace, if I only saw the mundane world, then what did I truly see?

इक सरख़ुशी-ए-इश्क़ है इक बे-ख़ुदी-ए-शौक़
आँखों को ख़ुदा जाने मिरी क्या नज़र आया
An ecstasy of love it is, a trance of wild desire—God alone knows what vision met these eyes of mine.
There is an intoxication of love and an ecstasy of deep longing; God alone knows what my eyes have seen.

जब देख न सकते थे तो दरिया भी था क़तरा
जब आँख खुली क़तरा भी दरिया नज़र आया
When sight was denied, an ocean seemed merely a drop; once the eyes opened, even a drop appeared an ocean.
When we could not see, even an ocean seemed like a mere drop; but once our eyes opened, even a single drop appeared like an ocean.

क़ुर्बान तिरी शान-ए-इनायत के दिल ओ जाँ
इस कम-निगही पर मुझे क्या क्या नज़र आया
To the glory of your grace, I pledge my heart and soul—despite this fleeting glance, what wonders did my eyes behold!
My heart and soul are devoted to the glory of your grace, for despite my limited vision, what wonders I was able to behold.

हर रंग तिरे रंग में डूबा हुआ निकला
हर नक़्श तिरा नक़्श-ए-कफ़-ए-पा नज़र आया
Every hue emerged steeped in your own shade; every trace seemed the imprint your footprint made.
Every color turned out to be immersed in your color, and every trace or mark appeared to be the imprint of your footprint.

आँखों ने दिखा दी जो तिरे ग़म की हक़ीक़त
आलम मुझे सारा तह-ओ-बाला नज़र आया
Once my eyes revealed the true reality of your grief, the entire universe appeared overturned before my sight.
When my eyes revealed the reality of your sorrow, the entire world appeared upside down to me.

हर जल्वे को देखा तिरे जल्वों से मुनव्वर
हर बज़्म में तू अंजुमन-आरा नज़र आया
I saw every manifestation illumined by your radiant light; in every gathering, you appeared as the grace adorning the assembly.
I saw every manifestation illuminated by your divine radiance, and in every gathering, it was you who appeared as the true grace and adornment of the assembly.
