نه دل مفتون دلبنده

Neither is my heart captivated by a beloved, nor my soul dazed by a desired one Neither a tear on my eyelashes, nor a sigh on my lips

My gathering finds no warmth — neither from a candle nor a crowd My memory holds no attachment — neither to a love nor to a moon

Who am I? A wanderer with lost desire, alone and bewildered Neither peace, nor hope, nor sympathy, nor companionship

Na dil maftoon dilbande na jan madhoshe dilkhwahe Na bar mezhgane man ashke na bar labhaye man aahe

Nayabad mafelam garmi na az shamhe na az jamhe Nadarad khateram olfat na ba mehre na ba mahe

Keyam man arezo gum kardaye tanha o sargardan Na aarame na omide na hamdarde na hamrahe

Rahe ta chand sozam dar dil shabha cho kawkabha Ba iqbale sharar nazam ke darad omre kotahe
