Ghazal
मैं आशिक़ी में तब सूँ अफ़्साना हो रहा हूँ
This classical Dakhani ghazal expresses the overwhelming ecstasy and self-effacing devotion of love. Captivated by the beloved's enchanting glance, the poet becomes utterly estranged from the mundane world, watching his romantic surrender turn into an enduring legend.

मैं आशिक़ी में तब सूँ अफ़्साना हो रहा हूँ
तेरी निगह का जब सूँ दीवाना हो रहा हूँ
I have become a legend in the lore of love ever since, ever since I was driven mad by the magic of your glance.
Ever since I became crazed with love by your gaze, I have turned into a legend in the world of romance.

ऐ आश्ना करम सूँ यक बार आ दरस दे
तुझ बाज सब जहाँ सूँ बेगाना हो रहा हूँ
O beloved, in your grace appear just once before my eyes; for without you, to this whole wide world I turn a stranger.
O beloved, kindly grace me with your presence just once, for without you I have become a complete stranger to the entire world.

बाताँ लगन की मत पूछ ऐ शम-ए-बज़्म-ए-ख़ूबी
मुद्दत से तुझ झलक का परवाना हो रहा हूँ
Ask not of the depth of my devotion, O candle of beauty's gathering; for ages I have been a moth, yearning for a single glimpse of your radiant light.
O candle of the assembly of beauty, do not ask about the extent of my devotion; for a very long time, I have been a moth yearning for a glimpse of you.

शायद वो गंज-ए-ख़ूबी आवे किसी तरफ़ सूँ
इस वास्ते सरापा वीराना हो रहा हूँ
Perchance from some direction that treasure of grace might come; for this reason alone, from head to toe, a desolation I become.
Perhaps that treasure of beauty and virtue might arrive from somewhere; it is for this reason that I am turning completely into a desolation.

सौदा-ए-ज़ुल्फ़-ए-ख़ूबाँ रखता हूँ दिल में दाइम
ज़ंजीर-ए-आशिक़ी का दीवाना हो रहा हूँ
Forever in my heart I bear a madness for the tresses of the fair; enamored of the very chains of love, I am driven mad.
I always harbor a madness for the tresses of the beautiful in my heart, and I am being driven mad by the chains of love.
6
बरजा है गर सुनूँ नईं नासेह तिरी नसीहत
मैं जाम-ए-इश्क़ पी कर मस्ताना हो रहा हूँ
It is only right if I heed not your counsel, O moralist; having drunk deep from love's cup, I am lost in intoxication.
It is completely justified if I do not listen to your advice, O counselor, because having drunk from the cup of love, I am intoxicated.

किस सूँ 'वली' अपस का अहवाल जा कहूँ मैं
सर-ता-क़दम मैं ग़म सूँ ग़म-ख़ाना हो रहा हूँ
To whom, O Vali, shall I go to tell my mournful plight? / From head to toe, consumed by grief, I have become an abode of sorrow.
O Vali, to whom should I go and narrate my condition? Consumed by sorrow, I have become an embodiment of grief from head to toe.
