dil dar pai laila-sifati majnun shud
dil dar pai laila-sifatī majnūñ shud
dar 'ālam-e-ġhurbatam vatan hāmūñ shud
dar pīrī-o-zo'f muttaqī gasht javāñ
hañgām-e-ḳhizāñ josh-e-bahār afzūñ shud
The heart has turned mad after one like Layla ; and now
In this strange state the very home looks like a desert.
In old age and decrepity an ascetic became young ;
That is, in autumn, spring has re-appeared.
dil dar pai laila-sifati majnun shud
dar 'alam-e-ghurbatam watan hamun shud
dar piri-o-zo'f muttaqi gasht jawan
hangam-e-KHizan josh-e-bahaar afzun shud
The heart has turned mad after one like Layla ; and now
In this strange state the very home looks like a desert.
In old age and decrepity an ascetic became young ;
That is, in autumn, spring has re-appeared.
