Aakhir is dard ki davaa kya hai?
What's the matter O innocent heart?
What's drug for this pain in mart?
Ham hain mushtaq aur voh bezaar.
Ya Ilahi ye maajra Kya hai?
She is apathetic while I crave.
O God! Why is she so tart?
Main bhi munh men zabaan rakhtaa hoon.
Kash poochho ki mudda'a kyaa hai?
I too have a tongue in mouth.
If you ask, what is my part?
Jab ki tujh bin naheen kol maujood.
Phir ye hangaama ai Khuda kya hai?
When none but you, exists?
Why turmoil from the start?
Ye pari chehraa log kaise hain? Ghamza-o-ishva-o-adaa Kya hai?
Who are these fairy faces here?
Ogling, glances, amorous art?
Shikane-zulfe-ambaree kyoon hai?
Nigahe - chashme - surmaa saa kya hai?
Why curly, musky, tresses.,
Kohl eyes : angling pads for dart?
Sabza-o-gul kahaan se aaye hain?
Abr kya cheez hai, havaa kya hai?
Where from are grass 'n flowers?
What are clouds' n air to cart?
Hamko unse vafaa ki hai ummeed.
Jo naheen jaante vafaa kya hai?
I hope her to be faithful.
Whu knows no faith from start?
Haan bhalaa kar teraa bhalaa hogaa.
Aur darvesh kee sadaa kya hai?
Do good for a good reward.
What else can dervish impart?
Jaan tum par nisaar kartaa hoon.
Main naheen jaantaa dua kya hai?
My life is now all yours.
Don't know what to pray apart?
Maine maanaa ki kuchh nahin 'Ghalib'.
Muft haath aaye to bura kya hai?
'Ghalib' agrees that it is nothing.
If I get it free, why act smart?
