ta-bud dilam za ’ishq mahrum na-shud
tā-būd dilam za ’ishq mahrūm na-shud
kam buud za asrār ki mafhūm na-shud
aknūñ ki hamī ba-nigram az rū-e-ḳhirad
mā’lūmam shud ki hech mā’lūm na-shud
So long I had the heart it was not deprived from love, there were no secrets (of Life and Love) the sense of which I had not grasped; now that I look on all things with reason, I have learnt that I have learnt nothing.
ta-bud dilam za ’ishq mahrum na-shud
kam bud za asrar ki mafhum na-shud
aknun ki hami ba-nigram az ru-e-KHirad
ma’lumam shud ki hech ma’lum na-shud
So long I had the heart it was not deprived from love, there were no secrets (of Life and Love) the sense of which I had not grasped; now that I look on all things with reason, I have learnt that I have learnt nothing.
