Diyar-e-Ishq Mein Apna Maqam Paida Kar,
Naya Zamana, Naye Subah-o-Sham Paida Kar
(Build in love’s empire your hearth and your home; Build Time anew, a new dawn, a new eve!)

Khuda Agar Dil-e-Fitrat Shanas De Tujh Ko,
Sakoot-e-Lala-o-Gul Se Kalaam Paida Kar
(Your speech, if God give you the friendship of Nature, From the rose and tulip’s long silence weave.)

Utha Na Sheesha Garan-e-Farang Ke Ehsan,
Sifal-e-Hind Se Meena-o-Jaam Paida Kar
(No gifts of the Franks’ clever glass‐bowers ask! From India’s own clay mould your cup and your flask.)

Main Shakh-e-Taak Hun, Meri Ghazal Hai Mera Samar,
Mere Samar Se Mai-e-Lala Faam Paida Kar
(My songs are the grapes on the spray of my vine; Distil from their clusters the poppy‐red wine!)

Mera Tareeq Ameeri Nahin, Faqeeri Hai,
Khudi Na Baich, Ghareebi Mein Naam Paida Kar!
(The way of the hermit, not fortune, is mine; Sell not your soul! In a beggar’s rags shine.)
