Madno Lolik Aalav Travai Bhavai Dil Ki HaalO, beloved, I’m sending out a call of love, I’ll tell you the state of my heart.

Dapakh Haye Baale Paan Aayat Ha Thavai Masoom Khord-E-SaalI’ll say, my love, you came to me preserving your innocent youth.

Madno Tsey Path Dil Gom Neerith Pheerith Yun Chhu IshkaalO, beloved, my heart wandered away after you, and it’s impossible for it to return.

Hi Zan Tan Saaf Mann Thavai Sheerith Yaavun Chhum Koot KaalYou presented a pure body and a clean heart, but my youth feels like a cunning trap.

Aashiq Hoon Pe Mashooq Farebi Hai Mera KaamI’m a lover, but my beloved’s craft is pure deception.

Majnu Ko Bura Kehti Hai Laila Mere AageIn front of me, even Laila speaks ill of her Majnu.

Bazeecha-E-Atfaal Hai Duniya Mere AageThis world, before my eyes, is nothing but a children’s playground.

Hota Hai Shab-O-Roz Tamasha Mere AageNight and day, a spectacle unfolds right before my eyes.
