ai dil za hawa-o-hawas az bahr-e-do-roz
ai dil za havā-o-havas az bahr-e-do-roz
ḳhud rā-o-marā za ātish-e-jāñ soz ma-soz
hañgām-e-javānī shud-o-pīrī aamad
iiñ ātish-e-afsurda ba-dāman afroz
O heart, in this short life, out of greed and avarice,
Do not burn me and yourself in a terrible fire.
Youth is passed and old age is come,
Try not to rekindle the dead fire and set it to the skirt.
ai dil za hawa-o-hawas az bahr-e-do-roz
KHud ra-o-mara za aatish-e-jaan soz ma-soz
hangam-e-jawani shud-o-piri aamad
in aatish-e-afsurda ba-daman afroz
O heart, in this short life, out of greed and avarice,
Do not burn me and yourself in a terrible fire.
Youth is passed and old age is come,
Try not to rekindle the dead fire and set it to the skirt.
