ai ki tu sham-e-farozan surat-e-parwana-am
ai ki tū sham-e-farozāñ sūrat-e-parvāna-am
jān-o-dil qurbāñ kunam man āshiq-o-dīvāna-am
You are like a bright candle, and I am like a moth. I sacrifice my life and heart for you because I am in love and obsessed.

Bravo, O heart, for within you resides the image of this beloved. Congratulations, O love, for I am captivated by passion.

Although I have a very old and tattered robe on my back, I am a humble servant of the lion of God, adorned with regal honor and rank.

It has been a while since I repented from outward prayers, for I am now a captive of my beloved's locks, a servant resembling the beloved.

My every nerve is burning in the love of the beloved. From head to toe, I have transformed into the image of the beloved.
