Hi...
ये हम जो हिज्र में दीवार-ओ-दर को देखते हैं कभी सबा को कभी नामा-बर को देखते हैं
[In separation we look at these walls and doors, sometimes we look at the breeze, sometimes we wait for the messenger (who may bring a message from the beloved).]
वो आए घर में हमारे ख़ुदा की क़ुदरत है कभी हम उन को कभी अपने घर को देखते हैं
[She came into our house it's the power of the Lord. Sometimes we look at her, sometimes at our house.]
नज़र लगे न कहीं उस के दस्त-ओ-बाज़ू को ये लोग क्यूँ मिरे ज़ख़्म-ए-जिगर को देखते हैं
May the evil eye not somehow attach itself to her arm and shoulder! Why do these people stare at my wounded heart?
तिरे जवाहिर-ए-तुर्फ़-ए-कुलह को क्या देखें हम औज-ए-ताला-ए-लाला-ओ-गुहर को देखते हैं
As if we would see the jewels in the border of your cap/turban. We see the fortune of the ruby and pearl that they get to adorn your head. Meaning that the jewels are fortunate to be close to the beloved's beautiful head.]

ye hum jo hijr mein diwar-o-dar ko dekhte hain kabhi saba ko kabhi nama-bar ko dekhte hain
wo aae ghar mein hamare KHuda ki qudrat hai kabhi hum un ko kabhi apne ghar ko dekhte hain
nazar lage na kahin us ke dast-o-bazu ko ye log kyun mere zaKHm-e-jigar ko dekhte hain
tere jawahir-e-turf-e-kulah ko kya dekhen hum auj-e-tala-e-lal-o-gohar ko dekhte hain
