agar bi nam shabe nagan

agar bi nam shabe nagaan manaa sultan e khu ban rah,
(if by chance, one of these nights, i catch a glimpse of the sultan of beauty)

sanam dar pa e mehkhanum, fidaa saazam dil o jaan rah!
(i will lay my head at His feet, sacrificing my heart and soul)

ba girde kaaba k gardum? k roo'ay yar e mann kaaba,
(why should i circle the Kaaba? when my Kaaba is my beloved's visage)

kunam tawwaf e meh khana, ba gonam paa e mastana!
(i circle around the tavern and kiss the feet of drunkards)


Salaam us par k jisne be kaso ki dastgeeri ki

salam us par k jisne be kaso ki dastgeeri ki,
salam us par k jisne badshahi me faqeeri ki!

salam us par k jisne fazal k moti bakhere hein,
salam us par buron ko jisne farmaya k mere hein!

salam us par k jisne bhookay pyaso ko kaba'en deen,
salam us par k jisne galiyaan sun kar duaa'en deen!

salam us par k sachai ki khatir dukh jo khata tha,
salam us par k bhooka reh kar auron ko jo khilata tha!

salam us par k jis k ghar mein chandi thi na sona tha,
salam us par k toota boriya jis ka bichona tha!
