How could peace of mind ever be mine to keep, when your wandering tresses steal away all calm?
How can I ever attain peace of mind when your tresses steal away all my rest and composure?

हर सहर शोख़ की निगह की शराब
मुझ अँखाँ का ख़ुमार खोती है
Each dawn, the wine of the playful beloved's glance / Dispels the lingering languor from my eyes.
Every morning, the wine-like glance of the playful beloved dispels the lingering intoxication from my eyes.

क्यूँके मिलना सनम का तर्क करूँ
दिलबरी इख़्तियार खोती है
How could I ever renounce meeting my beloved, when such captivating grace strips all my will away?

ऐ 'वली' आब उस परी-रू की
मुझ सिने का ग़ुबार खोती है
O Wali, the radiant luster of that fairy-faced beloved washes clean the dust of grief that settles in my breast.
