Ghazal
मर रहते जो गुल बिन तो सारा ये ख़लल जाता
This ghazal conveys the sentiment that life feels incomplete and empty without the presence of the beloved or the 'gul' (flower). The poet describes the intense pain of separation and the struggle for self-control, suggesting that if he had not restrained his emotions, his life or the surrounding world might have been consumed by fire. It is a meditation on the transient nature of existence, deep emotional suffering, and the power of love.

मर रहते जो गुल बिन तो सारा ये ख़लल जाता
निकला ही न जी वर्ना काँटा सा निकल जाता
If the garden, without blossoms, remains so
If the garden, without blossoms, remains, all this would be ruined. Otherwise, it would emerge like a thorn.

पैदा है कि पिन्हाँ थी आतिश-नफ़्सी मेरी
मैं ज़ब्त न करता तो सब शहर ये जल जाता
Was it my inner passion that was born, or was it pre-ordained?
If I hadn't restrained it, this whole city would have burned.
Whether my inner passion was born or was pre-ordained, if I had not restrained it, this entire city would have burned.

मैं गिर्या-ए-ख़ूनीं को रोके ही रहा वर्ना
इक दम में ज़माने का याँ रंग बदल जाता
If I had not stopped the bloody mountain,
The colors of the world would have changed in a moment.
If I had not stopped the bloody mountain, the colors of the world would have changed in a moment.

बिन पूछे करम से वो जो बख़्श न देता तो
पुर्सिश में हमारी ही दिन हश्र का ढल जाता
If he had not bestowed favor without asking, who would have let our days perish in despair?
If he had not granted favor without being asked, our very existence would have ended in despair.

इस्तादा जहाँ में था मैदान-ए-मोहब्बत में
वाँ रुस्तम अगर आता तो देख के टल जाता
In the arena of love, where the master was present,
If a warrior like Rustam had come, he would have turned away and left.
In the arena of love, where the master was present, if a warrior like Rustam had come, he would have turned away and left. This literally suggests that even a powerful figure like Rustam would be deterred or disarmed by the presence of the master in the field of love.

वो सैर का वादी के माइल न हुआ वर्ना
आँखों को ग़ज़ालों की पाँव तले मल जाता
If this path were not miles away from the fair place,
My eyes would be ground under the footsteps of ghazals.
If this path were not miles away from the fair place, my eyes would be ground under the footsteps of ghazals.

बे-ताब-ओ-तवाँ यूँ मैं काहे को तलफ़ होता
याक़ूती तिरे लब की मिलती तो सँभल जाता
Why should I be so restless and agitated for you? If I could find the sapphire of your lips, I would be composed.
Why should I be so restless and agitated for you? If I could find the sapphire of your lips, I would be composed.

उस सीम-बदन को थी कब ताब-ए-ताब इतनी
वो चाँदनी में शब की होता तो पिघल जाता
That delicate form never possessed such an intense glow,
If it were in the moonlight night, it would have melted away.
That delicate form never had such an intense glow; if it were in the moonlight night, it would have melted away.

मारा गया तब गुज़रा बोसे से तिरे लब के
क्या 'मीर' भी लड़का था बातों में बहल जाता
When you passed by with your lips, oh Bose,
Even 'Mir' was swayed by your talk.
When you passed by with your lips, oh Bose, even Mir was swayed by your talk.
