sarmad gham-e-ishq bul-hawas ra na-dahand
'sarmad' ġham-e-'ishq bul-havas rā na-dahand
soz-e-dil parvāna magas rā na-dahand
’umre bāyad ki yaar aayad ba-kanār
iiñ daulat-e-‘sarmad’ hama kas rā na-dahand
Sarmad, the pang of love is not granted to avaricious ones,
The passion of the moth’s heart is not given to a gadfly.
To attain union with the Beloved needs a long time;
But this imperishable wealth is not given to everyone.

’umre bayad ki yar aayad ba-kanar
in daulat-e-‘sarmad’ hama kas ra na-dahand
Sarmad, the pang of love is not granted to avaricious ones,
The passion of the moth’s heart is not given to a gadfly.
To attain union with the Beloved needs a long time;
But this imperishable wealth is not given to everyone.
