sheeraza-e-hayaat pareshaaN ho gaya
ye marhala bhi khair se aasaan ho gaya
mere sukoon-e-dil ko to hona hi tha tabaaH
unki bhi ik nigaah ka nuqsaan ho gaya

( the fabric of my life has been ruined
this stage has also been cleared safely
the tranquility of my heart was bound to be disturbed
but my lover also faces a loss of one glance )

unki taraf se tark-e-mulaqaat ho gayi
ham jis se dar rahe tha wo hi baat ho gayi

( She refuses to meet me
my fears have now come true )

aaina dekhne mein nayi baat ho gayi
unse hi aaj unki mulaqaat ho gayi

( something unusal happened  today while viewing the mirror
She met herself today )

tai unse roz-e-hashr mulaqaat ho gayi
kitni si baat kitni badi baat ho gayi

( day of judgement has been fixed for our meeting
a mountain has been created out of a mole hill )

aaye hain wo mareez-e-muhabbat ko dekh kar
aansooN bata rahe hain koi baat ho gayi

( She has come back after seeing the victim of love
her tears tell that something has happened )

aankh kam bakht se us bazm mein aansooN na ruka
ek qatre ne duboyaa mujhko daryaa ho kar

( this cursed eye could not hold back tears in the gathering
one drop drowned me like a river )

dar parda bazm-e-gair mein donon ki guftugoo
utthi idhar nigaah udhar baat ho gayi

( such secret talks in the assembly of strangers
just with the lifting of an eye, the message was delivered )

kab tak Qamar ho shaam ke waade ka intizaar
suraaj chhupa chiraagh jale raat ho gayi
