تونے جو کبھی درد کے پودے لگائے تھے
اب آکے دیکھ ان میں بہت پھول آئے ہیں

You once planted the plants of pain
Now and see them many flowers have grown in them.

ہر قدم محبت میں پختگی سے اٹھتا ہے
من چلے بزرگوں سے ہم نے عشق سیکھا ہے

Every step in love rises firmly.
We have learned love from the mischievous elders.

زندگی بھر زندگی کا غم رہا
ایک ہی انداز کا موسم رہا

There was life-long grief in the life
It was the same kind of weather.

دھندلےسے کچھ نقوش ہیں وہ بھی کہیں کہیں
تصویر زندگی کی تمہیں کیا دکھائیں ہم

There are some blurry impressions, that too somewhere.
What we should show you in the picture of life?

We see the honor even in persecution
it is we, know what we see

     As far as fault and flaw is concerned
those who are capable, they see less

Your wait is so much long
that we have a look at every visitor

eye  is at the Kaba and the heart in idols
we see the dwellers of God's house

That's how the eyes met unintentionally

Neither they see nor we see them

What  this  world is, even on the Great Throne?

what we see, our own footsteps

Whom to tell our own disturbed condition

We see the people in the same troubled times

just understand my position out of this
that my wait sees the template and mosque

we the people of desire in our quest
we see neither happiness nor sorrow

Mushir; the men of wisdom in my every ghazal 
see the mind and heart each other
