chaman ko yu mere sakee ne maikana bana dala
kalee ko shisha-e-may gul ko paimana bana dala

girftar balaye ishk toh pehale hee tha lekin
tumhare gesuo ne aur divana bana dala

bhala kuchh bat thee bebat itana tul khincha hai
savale vasl ko jalim ne afsana bana dala

kuda ke ghar me kabja kar liya andher toh dekho
buton ne dil me rehkar dil ko butkana bana dala

My garden, once, the tavern's embrace,
My cupbearer, a lover's grace.
The bud, a glass for wine's deep hue,
The rose, a chalice, fresh and new.

Love's tempest, I was bound before,
But your dark tresses, wanting more,
Have turned my reason, set me free,
A madman dancing, wild with glee.

A trifle, spun to endless thread,
The cruel one, questions left unsaid,
Of union's dawn, a tale they weave,
A story, destined to deceive.

And in God's house, a darkness fell,
Their idols reigned, a wicked spell.
They seized my heart, a shrine they made,
Where stone-cold gods forever stayed.
