हमारे आगे तिरा जब किसू ने नाम लिया

In my presence when there was mention of you

my tormented heart I closely cleaved unto

if one swears, should be upon Zulekha's fate

her slave was superior to the head of state

ruined once,compared with mosques,had taverns been

then Saaqi's heady eyes avenged, reversed the scene

in the street, the crooked one, evaded me

nor to greetings did respond, straightforwardly

captor, your heartlessness I will make you regret

when zest for being ensnared traps me in your net

in my own way I have dealt with love you see

all my life I made my failures work for me

in a corner, Miir, although 'mongst poets I be

yet my voice does eclipse the earth entirely
