    ham tujh se kis havas falak justujū kareñ

    dil nahīñ rahā hai ki kuchh aarzū kareñ

    O heaven! what desire, say, should I seek from you?

    when my heart no longer is, what hope can I pursue?

    miT jaa.eñ ek aan meñ kasrat-numā.iyāñ

    ham aa.ine ke sāmne jab aa ke kareñ

    ------------

    ------------

    tar-dāmanī pe shaiḳh hamārī na jā.iyo

    dāman nichoḌ deñ to farishte vuzū kareñ

    the moistness of my hem, O priest, deem not a minor thing

    Angels would perform ablution, if my hem I wring

    sar-tā-qadam zabān haiñ juuñ sham.a go ki ham

    par ye kahāñ majāl jo kuchh guftugū kareñ

    from head to toe I am a tongue / with a flame like style

    but where is the courage that / I'd even speak a while?

    har-chand aa.ina huuñ par itnā huuñ nā-qubūl

    muñh pher le vo jis ke mujhe rū-ba-rū kareñ

    though a mirror, I am shunned, to such a great degree

    turns his face away, whoever's / brought in front of me

    ne gul ko hai sabāt na ham ko hai e'tibār

    kis baat par chaman havas-e-rañg-o-bū kareñ

    flowers lack endurance and / I too am discontent

    garden, on what ground should I / desire colour, scent?

    hai apnī ye salāh ki sab zāhidān-e-shahr

    ai 'dard' aa ke bai.at-e-dast-e-subū kareñ

    this is my advice that all / the pious of the land

    should come forth / and swear alleigance / to the goblet's hand

    hum tujh se kis hawas ki falak justuju karen

    dil hi nahin raha hai ki kuchh aarzu karen

    O heaven! what desire, say, should I seek from you?

    when my heart no longer is, what hope can I pursue?

    miT jaen ek aan mein kasrat-numaiyan

    hum aaine ke samne jab aa ke hu karen

    ------------

    tar-damani pe shaiKH hamari na jaiyo

    daman nichoD den to farishte wuzu karen

    the moistness of my hem, O priest, deem not a minor thing

    Angels would perform ablution, if my hem I wring

    sar-ta-qadam zaban hain jun shama go ki hum

    par ye kahan majal jo kuchh guftugu karen

    from head to toe I am a tongue / with a flame like style

    but where is the courage that / I'd even speak a while?

    har-chand aaina hun par itna hun na-qubul

    munh pher le wo jis ke mujhe ru-ba-ru karen

    though a mirror, I am shunned, to such a great degree

    turns his face away, whoever's / brought in front of me

    ne gul ko hai sabaat na hum ko hai e'tibar

    kis baat par chaman hawas-e-rang-o-bu karen

    flowers lack endurance and / I too am discontent

    garden, on what ground should I / desire colour, scent?

    hai apni ye salah ki sab zahidan-e-shahr

    ai 'dard' aa ke baiat-e-dast-e-subu karen

    this is my advice that all / the pious of the land

    should come forth / and swear alleigance / to the goblet's hand
