काफिर-ऐ-इश्काम मुसलमानी मारा दरकार नीस्त
हर राग-ऐ मून तार गश्त हाजत-ऐ जुन्नार नीस्त;
अज सर-ऐ बालीं-ऐ मून बर खेज़ ए नादाँ तबीब
दर्द मंद-ऐ इश्क रा दरू बजूज़ दीदार नीस्त;
नाखुदा डर कश्ती-ऐ मा गर नबशद गू मुबाश
माँ खुदा दारीम मेरा नाखुदा दर कार नीस्त;
खल्क मिगोयद, कि खुसरौ बुतपरस्ती मिकुनद
आरे-आरे मिकुनम, बा खलक मरकार नीस्त

................Ab'ul Hasan Yamīn al-Dīn Khusrow

I am a pagan (worshiper) of love: the creed (of Muslims) I do not need;
Every vein of mine has become (taut like a) wire; the (Hindu) girdle I do not need.
Leave from my bedside, you ignorant physician!
The only cure for the patient of love is the sight of his beloved –
other than this no medicine does he need.
If there be no pilot on our ship, let there be none:
We have God in our midst: the pilot we do not need.
The people of the world say that Khusrau worships idols.
So I do, so I do; the people I do not need,
the world I do not need.
