ba-nafs-e-sitamgar ba-jangam har dam
bā-nafs-e-sitamgār bā-jañgam har dam
dar bahr-e-vujūd-e-ḳhud naha.gam har dam
rubāh buvad hirs-o-havā dar nazaram
dar besha-e-andesha palañgam har dam
I am always at war with my unkind self !
In the sea of self I play the crocodile.
The greed and avarice are nothing but a fox for me.
As I am a leopard in the desert of fear.
ba-nafs-e-sitamgar ba-jangam har dam
dar bahr-e-wujud-e-KHud nahagam har dam
rubah buwad hirs-o-hawa dar nazaram
dar besha-e-andesha palangam har dam
I am always at war with my unkind self !
In the sea of self I play the crocodile.
The greed and avarice are nothing but a fox for me.
As I am a leopard in the desert of fear.
