گلزار ہست و بود نہ بیگانہ وار دیکھہے دیکھنے کی چیز اسے بار بار دیکھ

Gulzar-e-Hast-o-Bood Na Beganawar DekhHai Dekhne Ki Cheez Isse Bar Bar Dekh

Do not look at the garden of existence like a strangerIt is a thing worth looking at, look at it repeatedly

آیا ہے تو جہاں میں مثال شرار دیکھدم دے نہ جائے ہستی ناپائدار دیکھ

Aya Hai Tu Jahan Mein Msal-e-Sharar DekhDam De Na Jaye Hasti-e-Na-Paidar Dekh

You have come into the world like a spark, bewareLest your ephemeral life may end suddenly, beware

مانا کہ تیری دید کے قابل نہیں ہوں میںتو میرا شوق دیکھ، مرا انتظار دیکھ

Mana Ke Teri Deed Ke Qabil Nahin Hun MainTu Mera Shauq Dekh, Mera Intizar Dekh

Granted that I am not worthy of your SightYou should look at my zeal, and look at my perseverance

کھولی ہیں ذوق دید نے آنکھیں تری اگرہر رہ گزر میں نقش کف پائے یار دیکھ

Kholi Hain Zauq-e-Deed Ne Ankhain Teri AgarHar Reh Guzar Mein Naqsh-e-Kaf-e-Paye Yaar Dekh

If your eyes have been opened by the longing for SightLook for the foot prints of the Beloved in every lane
