You spent your whole life winning At least now learn to lose, O fakir
I'm off to fill water from the well My true guru is calling out to me
If you’re headed north, be alert Tell everybody you’re headed south! Lovers delight in this wine’s secret What will a dry heart understand?
I’m rolling about in these waves I don’t know how to swim Take me across…
Oh my dear friend, whom should I love? Keep the company of pure-hearted ones Keep the company of clean-hearted ones
Scorch the house To make a house arise, yogi Protect it And it's gone!
In this body, the lock In this body, the key In this body, the one who Opens the door
If my beloved is like a rose Then I’m his fragrance If my beloved is like my heart Then I’m his breath
Khusro says, the river of love Flows in strange ways One who escapes, drowns One who drowns is saved
This cart is colourful, beautiful The wheels are red and rosy A sassy young girl holds the reins Raam sits in the vehicle
Once I went to the court of love Love stripped me of my swagger I went to garner praises from love Love robbed me of my vanity
