dil sirr-e-hayat ra kamahi danist
dil sirr-e-hayāt rā kamāhī dānist
dar maut ham asrār-e-ilāhī dānist
imroz ki bā-ḳhudī na-dānistī hech
fardā ki ze-ḳhud ravī che ḳhvāhī dānist
But if in vain, down on the stubborn floor
Of Earth, and up to Heav'n's unopening Door,
You gaze TO-DAY, while You are You- how then
TO-MORROW, you when shall be You no more?
dil sirr-e-hayat ra kamahi danist
dar maut hum asrar-e-ilahi danist
imroz ki ba-KHudi na-danisti hech
farda ki ze-KHud rawi che KHwahi danist
But if in vain, down on the stubborn floor
Of Earth, and up to Heav'n's unopening Door,
You gaze TO-DAY, while You are You- how then
TO-MORROW, you when shall be You no more?
