Jab Ishq Sikhata Hai Adaab-e-Khud 'Agaahi
Khulte Hain Ghulamon Par Asrar-e-Shehanshaahi
When Love teaches man the respect of Self-Awareness
Though being a slave, he experiences the Kingly deeds
Attar Ho, Rumi Ho, Razi Ho, Ghazzali Ho
Kuch Hath Nahin Ata Be Aah-e-Sahargaahi
Be it Attar or Rumi or Razi or Gazali
Nothing comes in hand without the "night prayers"
Naumeed Na Ho In Se Aey Rahbar-e-Farzaana
Kamkosh To Hain Lekin Be-Zauq Nahin Raahi
O leader of intelligent, don't you despair of their worth
Though they are sluggish, your followers are loyal to you.
Aey Taa'ir-e-Lahooti! Uss Rizq Se Mout Achchi
Jis Rizq Se Aati Ho Parwaaz Mein Kotaahi
O bird who flies to the Eternal world! It is better to starve to death
Than to live on a prey, that obstructs your flight.
Dara-o-Sikandar Se Woh Mard-e-Faqeer Aula
Ho Jis Ki Faqeeri Mein Boo-e-Asadullaahi
Better than Darius and Alexander is that Fakir,
Whose piety has the attributes of 'The Tiger of God' (Ali)
Aa'een-e-Jawan Mardaan, Haq Goyi-o-Bebaki
Allah Ke Sheron Ko Aati Nahin Roobaahi
The constitution of men are, Speaking the Truth and being Upright
The Lions of God know not the traits of cunning of Fox.
