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
Speak in hints in grazing fields So that no one should guess No one should hear, no one should know!
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
I burnt down my house, yogi I took up the flaming torch If you scorch your own house, yogi Then join me on this walk
In this body, the lock In this body, the key In this body, the one who Opens the door
Sweetheart, dear girl Wake up your beloved He sleeps a deep, forgetful sleep Shake him awake!
Khusro says, the river of love Flows in strange ways One who escapes, drowns One who drowns is saved
