ai dil za ghubar-e-tan agar pak shawi
ai dil za ġhubār-e-tan agar paak shavī
tū rūh-e-mujassame bar aflāk shavī
'arshast nashemant-e-tū sharmat baada
kā.e-o-muqīm kHitta-e-kHāk shavī
Why, if the Soul can fling the Dust aside,
And naked on the Air of Heaven ride,
Isn't not a shame-It's not a Shame for him
So long in this Clay suburb to abide !
ai dil za ghubar-e-tan agar pak shawi
tu ruh-e-mujassame bar aflak shawi
'arshast nashemant-e-tu sharmat baada
kae-o-muqim kHitta-e-kHak shawi
Why, if the Soul can fling the Dust aside,
And naked on the Air of Heaven ride,
Isn't not a shame-It's not a Shame for him
So long in this Clay suburb to abide !
