هر شب منم فتاده به گرد سراي تو

تا روز آه و ناله کنم از براي تو

جانا، بيا ببين تو شکسته دلي من

عمري گذشته است منم آشناي تو

روزي که ذره ذره شود استخوان من

باشد هنوز در دل تنگم هواي تو

بر حال زار من نظري کن ز روي لطف

تو پادشاه حسني و خسرو گداي تو

امير خسرو —

Har Shab Ma'nam Fetada - Amir Khusrau

Har shab manam futada, Ba girde sarai e tou
 Har roz ah o nala kunam az barai e tou

every night have I fallen, around the circle of Thy tavern 
 every day, do I wail and cry, in yearning of Thee 

 Jana ba iin shakista dil-bewafa ma shou
 Umre guzasht ta shuda am aashina e tou

 O Love, turn not thy gaze from this broken hearted one 
 for a lifetime has been spent, in getting to know Thee 

Rozay ke zarra zarra shavad, ustakhan-e-man
 Ba shad hanoz dar dil-e-veesham hava e tou

 when my bones are nothing but shattered bits 
 may my heart carry on its quest of Thee 

 Bar hal-e-zar-e-man nazar-e-kun ze raahay lutf
 Tu Badshah-e-husni o Khusrau gada e tou

 Let thy Grace fall on my blighted self 
 Thou art the Lord of Grace, and Khosro but a begger of Thee 

~ Amir Khusrau
