shauk se aaye gam jamane ke
dar khule hain garibakane ke

yeh mohabbat yeh dostee yeh wafa
sab wasile hain dil dukhane ke

kya sune koyee dastane hayat
lakh unawan hain ik fasane ke

ik kajana hai jindagee fakir
ashk motee hain iss kajane ke

Welcome sorrow, let it find its way,
My humble dwelling's door is open wide today.

Love, friendship, loyalty, a whispered plea,
All serve to wound the heart, it seems to me.

Why listen to life's unending tale?
A thousand chapters, each a mournful wail.

Life, a treasure chest, 'Faqir' knows it well,
Tears, the pearls within, a story to tell.
