Hi...
तुम अपने शिकवे की बातें न खोद खोद के पूछो हज़र करो मिरे दिल से कि इस में आग दबी है
[The complaints that I have against you, don't keep digging them out. Be fearful of my heart, in it a fire is suppressed.]
दिला ये दर्द-ओ-अलम भी तो मुग़्तनिम है कि आख़िर न गिर्या-ए-सहरी है न आह-ए-नीम-शबी है
[Oh heart, even this pain and sorrow is to be valued for finally you won't have that old nostalgically remembered 'dawn weeping', nor those exquisite moments of 'midnight sighing. Meaning we should be grateful of all this pain and suffering since its presence shows that we're not dead yet.]
नज़र ब-नक़्स-ए-गदायाँ कमाल-ए-बे-अदबी है कि ख़ार-ए-ख़ुश्क को भी दावा-ए-चमन-नसबी है
हुआ विसाल से शौक़-ए-दिल-ए-हरीस ज़ियादा लब-ए-क़दह पे कफ़-ए-बादा जोश-ए-तिश्ना-लबी है
ख़ुशा वो दिल कि सरापा तिलिस्म-ए-बे-ख़बरी हो जुनून ओ यास ओ अलम रिज़्क़-ए-मुद्दआ-तलबी है
चमन में किस के ये बरहम हुइ है बज़्म-ए-तमाशा कि बर्ग बर्ग-ए-समन शीशा रेज़ा-ए-हलबी है
इमाम-ए-ज़ाहिर-ओ-बातिन अमीर-ए-सूरत-ओ-मअनी 'अली' वली असदुल्लाह जानशीन-ए-नबी है

tum apne shikwe ki baaten na khod khod ke puchho hazar karo mere dil se ki is mein aag dabi hai
dila ye dard-o-alam bhi to mughtanim hai ki aaKHir na girya-e-sahari hai na aah-e-nim-shabi hai
nazar ba-naqs-e-gadayan kamal-e-be-adabi hai ki KHar-e-KHushk ko bhi dawa-e-chaman-nasabi hai
hua visal se shauq-e-dil-e-haris ziyaada lab-e-qadah pe kaf-e-baada josh-e-tishna-labi hai
KHusha wo dil ki sarapa tilism-e-be-KHabari ho junun o yas o alam rizq-e-muddaa-talabi hai
chaman mein kis ke ye barham hui hai bazm-e-tamasha ki barg barg-e-saman shisha reza-e-halabi hai
imam-e-zahir-o-baatin amir-e-surat-o-mani 'ali' wali asadullah jaanashin-e-nabi hai
