My searching, my seeking; my inquiring, my assessing

In Thee my understanding and comprehension; my compassion is You!

My cold sighs, my groaning and my sobbing

In Thee is the avalanche of my tears!

My adorning 'bindi', my beauty spots, the redness of vermilion , and the parting in my hair

In Thee the statement of my style, my seduction, my poise is You!
My henna, my kohl, my cleanser is You!
In Thee my cosmetics, my tobacco, my stimulant is You!


In Thee my ardour, my friend is You!


My craze, the passion of my madness is You!
In Thee my groans, my moans, my crying is You!
My alpha and omega, my within and without
In Thee the bare and the veiled!


In Thee my ardour, my friend is You!


My cloud, my showers, my flash, my thunders is You!
In Thee my rains, my spring is You!
My land of bliss, my gravel of agony is You!
In Thee my space: my Rohi, my Cholistan is You!
If Thou, O Love! Please accept Farid!
A lord is he! A sultan is he!
If not, the worthless, lowly, minor is he!
The void of utter nothingness is he!


In Thee my ardour, my friend is You!
