wo baate teri wo fasaane tere
shaguftaa-e-shaguftaa bahaane tere

bas ikaraar-e-sajadaa meri qaayanaat
zabine teri aastaane tere

faqiro kaa jamaghat ghadi do ghadi
sharaabi teri baadaakhaane tere

bahaar-o-khizaa-o-kamanigaaho ke bain
bure yaa bhale sab zamaane tere

Your words, your tales, a whispered plea,
Your blossoms bloom, eternally.

My universe, a bowing space,
Your brow, the sacred resting place.

A gathering of souls, a fleeting hour,
Your taverns brim with intoxicating power.

Spring's blush, autumn's mournful sigh,
Through good and ill, your times drift by.
