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?

Dark night, frail pot, no way to swim
Yet she flung herself in!

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

In the forest of this love, a peacock calls out
My love is more beautiful than any holy place
He wounded me, then forgot all about me

On the peak of emptiness
The sound of the universe
I'll sing every possible song
