ai chehra-e-zeba-e-tu rashk-e-butan-e-azari
ai chehra-e-zebā-e-tū rashk-e-butān-e-āzarī
har-chand vasfat mī-kunam dar husn zaañ bālā-tarī
O beautiful one, your face is the envy of all the sculptures made by Azar(Prophet Abram's father's name who was a famous sculptor).
How can I praise your beauty? No matter how many qualities I may portray, your charm outshines them completely.
āfāq-hā gardīda-am mehr-e-butāñ varzīda-am
bisyār ḳhūbāñ dīda-am lekin tu chīze dīgarī
I have wandered every nook and corner of the world and even loved many stunning beauties,
I have seen countless lovely beauties, yet none can compare to you.
tū az parī chābuk-tarī vaz barg-e-gul nāzuk-tarī
vaz har-che goyam behtarī haqqā ajā.ib dilbarī
You are swifter than a fairy and more delicate than a rose petal;
I have no words to express how elegant and wondrous you are.
man tū shudam tū man shudī man tan shudam tū jaañ shudī
tā kas na-goyad ba.ad aziiñ man dīgaram tū dīgarī
I have become you and you have become me, I have become the body whilst you have become the soul,(Beloved and lover are but one truth)
So that no one ever say that I am separate from you and you are from me.
'ḳhusrau' ġharībast-o-gadā uftāda dar shahr-e-shumā
bāshad ki az bahr-e-ḳhudā sū-e-ġharībāñ bañgarī
Khusrau a poor and lonely beggar has arrived in your city.
If your grace allows, for God's love, grant this poor one a single glance.
