aashiqan ra dardha-e-ishqat az darman laziz
āshiqāñ rā dardhā-e-ishqat az darmāñ lazīz
gosha-e-ḳhāk-e-darat az rauza-e-rizvāñ lazīz
Lovers enjoy the pain of loving you more than any cure, and even a particle of dust from your door is dearer to them than heaven.

az sharā-e-kausar-o-az chashma-e-haivāñ lazīz
One sip from your red lips is better to them than the wine of Kausar or the water of eternal life.

Your gaze can intoxicate forever; its charm is greater than any wine.
har kasaz bahr-e-tamāsa sū-e-gulshan ba-guzrad
pesh-e-āshiq zulf-o-rūyat az gul-o-raihāñ lazīz
People visit gardens to see flowers, but a lover finds your hair and face more lovely than roses and sweet-smelling herb.
rāhat az darmāñ na-yābam āñche yābam az ġhamat

No treatment comforts me like your sorrow; for Auhadi, even this incurable pain is sweeter than medicine.
