manzil-e-ishq az makane digarast
manzil-e-ishq az makāne dīgarast
mard-e-ma.anī rā nishāne dīgarast
The house of love is somewhere else
The one walking on this path has a different identity.
aql kai dānad ki iiñ ramz az kujāst
kiiñ jamā.at rā nishāne dīgarast
What does mind know about this secret?
The symbol of this group is something else.
aañ faqīrāne ki iiñ jaame ravand
har-yake sāhib-qirāne dīgarast
Those beggars who are leaving from here,
Each one of them is the king of seven kingdoms.
dil che mī-bandī darīñ faanī jahāñ
kiiñ jahāñ rā ham jahāne dīgarast
Why do you attach your heart to this world?
Besides this world, there is another world.
dar dil-e-miskīn-e-har-bechāra-e
shaah rā ganje nihāne dīgarast
In every sick and impoverished heart,
There is another hidden treasury for the king.
bar-sar-e-bāzār-e-sarrāfān-e-ishq
zer-e-har-dāre javāne dīgarast
For those who embrace the madness of love,
In the marketplace, beneath every gallows, there is a youth.
kushtagān-e-ḳhanjar-e-taslīm rā
har zamāñ az ġhaib jaane dīgarast
By being slain by the dagger of love (those who were killed),
They receive a new life from the unseen at every moment.
dil ḳhurad zaḳhme ze diida ḳhuuñ chakad
iiñ chunīñ zaḳhm az kamāne dīgarast
The heart is wounded, blood is flowing from the eyes,
Such a wound can only be inflicted by someone else's bow.
ishq rā dar madrasa ta.alīm niist
kaañ chunāñ ilm az bayāne dīgarast
The education of love is not imparted in schools,
No one else can teach this kind of knowledge.
'ahmadā' tā gum na-kardī hosh-dār
kiiñ jaras az kārvāne dīgarast
Oh Ahmed! Stay vigilant so that you do not get misled,
Because this bell belongs to another caravan.
manzil-e-ishq az makane digarast
mard-e-mani ra nishane digarast
The house of love is somewhere else
The one walking on this path has a different identity.
aql kai danad ki in ramz az kujast
kin jamaat ra nishane digarast
What does mind know about this secret?
The symbol of this group is something else.
aan faqirane ki in jame rawand
har-yake sahib-qirane digarast
Those beggars who are leaving from here,
Each one of them is the king of seven kingdoms.
dil che mi-bandi darin fani jahan
kin jahan ra hum jahane digarast
Why do you attach your heart to this world?
Besides this world, there is another world.
dar dil-e-miskin-e-har-bechaara-e
shah ra ganje nihane digarast
In every sick and impoverished heart,
There is another hidden treasury for the king.
bar-sar-e-bazar-e-sarrafan-e-ishq
zer-e-har-dare jawane digarast

In the marketplace, beneath every gallows, there is a youth.
kushtagan-e-KHanjar-e-taslim ra
har zaman az ghaib jaane digarast

They receive a new life from the unseen at every moment.
dil KHurad zaKHme ze dida KHun chakad
in chunin zaKHm az kamane digarast

Such a wound can only be inflicted by someone else's bow.
ishq ra dar madrasa talim nist
kan chunan ilm az bayane digarast

No one else can teach this kind of knowledge.

Because this bell belongs to another caravan.
