masti-e-man nai ze-jam-e-saqi-e-mai-KHana ast
mastī-e-man nai ze-jām-e-sāqī-e-mai-ḳhāna ast
kiiñ hama dīvāngī zaañ nargis-e-mastāna ast
My drunkenness is not from the cup of a tavern,
But from the enchantment of those languid, narcissus-like eyes.
dar havāyat gashta-am fāriġh ze-ḳhud va ze-har-do-kaun
kāshnā-e-tū ze-ḳhud va ze-do-jahāñ begāna ast
In loving You, I’ve forgotten both self and cosmos,
For Your lover becomes a stranger to the seen and unseen alike.
mubtalā-e-ishq har jā husn-e-tū bīnad ayaañ
gar harīm-e-ka.aba-o-gar-dair-o-gar-but-ḳhāna ast
Each soul consumed by love beholds only Your beauty,
Whether it be in the Kaaba, the shrine, or the temple of idols.
aañ ke shud mast az mai-e-tauhīd mī-bīnad chunīñ
kaañ sanam ḳhud bāda-o-ḳhud-sāqī-o-paimāna ast
Whoever drinks of the wine of Unity beholds the mystery,
That the Beloved is Himself the wine, the giver, and the glass.
'Auhadī' aañ husn kaz vai do-jahāñ raushan shuda
jalva-e-kāñ laame az ruḳhsār-e-āñ-jānāna ast
O Auhadi, the beauty that gives light to both worlds,
Is the brilliance that dawns from the Beloved’s face.
masti-e-man nai ze-jam-e-saqi-e-mai-KHana ast
kin hama diwangi zan nargis-e-mastana ast
My drunkenness is not from the cup of a tavern,
But from the enchantment of those languid, narcissus-like eyes.
dar hawayat gashta-am farigh ze-KHud wa ze-har-do-kaun
kashna-e-tu ze-KHud wa ze-do-jahan begana ast
In loving You, I’ve forgotten both self and cosmos,
For Your lover becomes a stranger to the seen and unseen alike.
mubtala-e-ishq har ja husn-e-tu binad ayan
gar harim-e-kaba-o-gar-dair-o-gar-but-KHana ast
Each soul consumed by love beholds only Your beauty,
Whether it be in the Kaaba, the shrine, or the temple of idols.
aan ke shud mast az mai-e-tauhid mi-binad chunin
kan sanam KHud baada-o-KHud-saqi-o-paimana ast
Whoever drinks of the wine of Unity beholds the mystery,
That the Beloved is Himself the wine, the giver, and the glass.
'Auhadi' aan husn kaz wai do-jahan raushan shuda
jalwa-e-kan lame az ruKHsar-e-an-jaanana ast
O Auhadi, the beauty that gives light to both worlds,
Is the brilliance that dawns from the Beloved’s face.
