ba dam-e-hawa-o-hirs ta hum nafase
bā dām-e-havā-o-hirs tā ham nafase
pāban-e-kHudī shām-o-sahar dar qafase
āzād chū sarv baash dar gulshan-e-dahr
gar sunbul-o-nasrīn-o-kHār-o-kHase
So long yon are entangled in the net of greed and lust.
You are captive of yourself, day and night in a cage.
In the garden of life be free like a cyprus,
Whether you are a sunbul or nasrin ( flowers ) or thorn
or blade of grass.
ba dam-e-hawa-o-hirs ta hum nafase
paban-e-kHudi sham-o-sahar dar qafase
aazad chu sarw bash dar gulshan-e-dahr
gar sunbul-o-nasrin-o-kHar-o-kHase
So long yon are entangled in the net of greed and lust.
You are captive of yourself, day and night in a cage.
In the garden of life be free like a cyprus,
Whether you are a sunbul or nasrin ( flowers ) or thorn
or blade of grass.
