man aashiq-e-bad-namam diwana-o-bad-karam
man āshiq-e-bad-nāmam dīvāna-o-bad-kāram
vallāh na-buvad aaram gar yaar buvad yāram
I am infamous as a lover, crazy, and wicked. If someone becomes my friend, there will be no shame for me.
ne-momin-o-ne-muslim ne-kāfir-o-ne-mulhid
ne-fāsiq-o-ne-sāleh vallāh ki che diiñ dāram
I am neither a Muslim nor a believer, neither a disbeliever nor an atheist. Neither am I bad nor good. Oh God! Then what is my religion?
man āshiq-e-jāñ-bāzam ma.ashūq-e-sarafrāzam
man turk-e-sarandāzam man dil-bar-ayyāram
I am a brave lover and beloved. I am a forsaker and cunning sweetheart.
man dil-bar-e-pinhānam bar sūrat-e-insānam
man qādir-e-hannānam jabbāram-o-sattāram
I am a hidden sweetheart in the form of a human being. I am a forgiver of sins. I am powerful, merciful, mighty, and the concealer as well.
'ahmad' tu ma-ḳhvāñ mā rā juz haqqe tu madāñ mā rā
az mazhab-e-pindārī bezāram-o-bezāram
Ahmad, don't understand anything beyond the truth from me. I am weary of my religious beliefs, weary.
