ai dil za zamana rasm-e-ehsan ma-talab
ai dil za zamāna rasm-e-ehsāñ ma-talab
vaz gardish-e-daurāñ sar-o-sāmāñ ma-talab
darmāñ talabe dard-e-tū afzūñ gardad
bā-dard ba-sāz-o-hech darmāñ ma-talab
O! Heart, do not seek favoured dealings from the times and from thy revolving Destiny, do not seek prosperity; do not seek alleviation of thy sufferings, for as you seek (and find not) your pain will be doubled; rather bear your pain and seek not alleviation.
ai dil za zamana rasm-e-ehsan ma-talab
waz gardish-e-dauran sar-o-saman ma-talab
darman talabe dard-e-tu afzun gardad
ba-dard ba-saz-o-hech darman ma-talab
O! Heart, do not seek favoured dealings from the times and from thy revolving Destiny, do not seek prosperity; do not seek alleviation of thy sufferings, for as you seek (and find not) your pain will be doubled; rather bear your pain and seek not alleviation.
