का'बे में जाँ-ब-लब थे हम दूरी-ए-बुताँ से
आए हैं फिर के यारो अब के ख़ुदा के हाँ से
From the Ka'ba, we were distant from the desert; we have come again, friends, from the grace of God.
Literally, the couplet means: We were in the Ka'ba, distant from the desert; and friends, we have returned again, by the grace of God.

तस्वीर के से ताइर ख़ामोश रहते हैं हम
जी कुछ उचट गया है अब नाला ओ फ़ुग़ाँ से
Like a picture, we remain silent now,
For something has been taken from the sorrowful stream.
Like a picture, we remain silent, because something has been taken from the stream of sorrow.

जब कौंदती है बिजली तब जानिब-ए-गुलिस्ताँ
रखती है छेड़ मेरे ख़ाशाक-ए-आशियाँ से
When lightning flashes across the garden's expanse,
It plays with my little nest of dwelling.
When lightning flashes across the garden's expanse, it plays with my small nest of dwelling.

क्या ख़ूबी उस के मुँह की ऐ ग़ुंचा नक़्ल करिए
तू तो न बोल ज़ालिम बू आती है वहाँ से
What beauty is there in her face, O little imitator, do not copy it;
Do not speak, O cruel one, for the scent comes from there.
What beauty is there in her face, O little imitator, do not copy it; Do not speak, O cruel one, for the scent comes from there.

आँखों ही में रहे हो दिल से नहीं गए हो
हैरान हूँ ये शोख़ी आई तुम्हें कहाँ से
You remain only in my eyes, you haven't left my heart; I wonder where this playful behavior came from you.
You remain only in my eyes, not from my heart; I wonder where this playful behavior came from you.

सब्ज़ान-ए-बाग़ सारे देखे हुए हैं अपने
दिलचस्प काहे को हैं उस बेवफ़ा जवाँ से
The green-faced garden has seen all of its own; / What appeal does it hold for that unfaithful youth?
The green-faced garden has seen all of its own beauty; what appeal does it hold for that unfaithful youth?

की शुस्त-ओ-शोबदन की जिस दिन बहुत सी उन ने
धोए थे हाथ मैं ने उस दिन ही अपनी जाँ से
The day that many of them, who are slack and sleepy, washed their hands, on that very day I sacrificed my life.
The day that many of them, who are slack and sleepy, washed their hands, on that very day I sacrificed my life.

ख़ामोशी ही में हम ने देखी है मस्लहत अब
हर यक से हाल दिल का मुद्दत कहा ज़बाँ से
In silence alone, we have seen the true benefit,
For how could the heart's condition be told by the tongue?
We have now seen the true benefit in silence, because the condition of the heart cannot be fully expressed by the tongue.

इतनी भी बद-मिज़ाजी हर लहज़ा 'मीर' तुम को
उलझाव है ज़मीं से झगड़ा है आसमाँ से
Oh Meer, in every tone, your moodiness is so much,
It's a quarrel, a conflict, between the earth and the sky.
O Shayar Meer, your moodiness in every tone is so great, it seems like a conflict between the earth and the sky.
