in charKH-e-falak bahr-e-halak-e-man-o-tu
iiñ charḳh-e-falak bahr-e-halāk-e-man-o-tū
qasde dārad ba-jān-e-pāk-e-man-o-tū
bar sabza-nashīñ pyāla kash der na-māñd
tā sabza barūñ damad za kHāk-e-man-o-tū
For thy and my destruction this wheel of the firmament, hath a secret desire to deprive us of our lives and to take our pure souls away; so it wert best to relax on the green-quaff a cup of wine and delay not, ere the green, grass grows on thy dust and on mine.

qasde darad ba-jaan-e-pak-e-man-o-tu
bar sabza-nashin pyala kash der na-mand
ta sabza barun damad za kHak-e-man-o-tu
For thy and my destruction this wheel of the firmament, hath a secret desire to deprive us of our lives and to take our pure souls away; so it wert best to relax on the green-quaff a cup of wine and delay not, ere the green, grass grows on thy dust and on mine.
