Chashme maste ajabe [Ameer Khusro]

Persian kalam written by Ameer Khusro. Lyrics and translation are:

Chashme mastay ajabay, zulf tarazaay ajabay
(o wondrous ecstatic eyes, o wondrous long locks)

mehh parastay ajabay, fitnaa tarazaay ajabaay
(o wondrous wine worshiper, o wondrous mischievous sweetheart)

bahr e katlum chu kashadd, teghe neham sar basujood
(as he draws the sword, i bow my head in prostration so as to be killed)

oo banazaay ajabay, mann bayanaazay ajabay
(o wondrous in His beneficence, o wondrous my submission)

waqt-e-bismil shudaanum, chashme baruyash baaz ast
(in the spasm of being killed, my eyes beheld your face)

mehrbaaanay ajabay, bandanawazaay ajabay
(o wondrous benevolence, o wondrous guidance and protestion)

turk tazaay ajabaay, shohbaa babazaay ajabay
(o wondrous amorous teasing, o wondrous beguiling)

kajj kulahay ajabay, arbaa da saazay ajabay
(o wondrous tilted cap, o wondrous tormentor)

haqq mago kalma-e-kufr ast, darr een ja Khusrao
(do not reveal the truth, in this world blasphemy prevails Khusro)

raazdanaay ajabay, sahib-e-raaz-e-ajabaay
(o wondrous source of mystery, o wondrous knower of secrets)
