Unse nazar milee, hum deewane ho gaye
duniya anjanee, dost begaane ho gaye

Kya fakhr karen, jo hum deewane ho gaye
Us husn ke aashiq, khud aaine ho gaye

Baroz-o-aam, unke taane ho gaye
Raaton mein tarr, sirhaane ho gaye.
thame thame se chalte rahen yun majzoob kaafilon mein
teri yaadon ki mehfil liye tanha rahe mehfilon mein

I know not

It's a stage, the world, I was taught,
What's the play, and my part, I know not.
I hear each sound, in the neighborhood,
The clamor in my heart, I know not.

Thy love art the balmy radiance of the sun,
Am I in shade or the smart, I know not.
If man art made of clay,
Am I but dirt, living in dirt, I know not.

Who shoves me in this hastening crowd,
To whom I give a start, I know not.
Oh the rivers of my fate, generously flow on,
For I am a slave or a dart, I know not.
