Amir Khusro

My heart left me, but longing for you won’t leave my heart

My heart broke apart, but the pain of you won’t lessen

The moon at night rises opposite your face

but the day will never come when the moon can oppose it

My face is pale gold, and I grind it with the dust of your door

but to be united with you is an unattainable alchemy

At your hands, my tears are a sash

hung over heaven’s shoulders

but my hands cannot hang draped around your neck

I sit in sorrow: though my soul departs, my heart cannot rise up and leave

My heart is a waystation of grief, but no caravan of patience can reach it

or escape the brigands of absence

Khusrau fell into the whirling abyss of longing

the ship of his desire will not make shore

English Translation from: In the Bazaar of Love by Paul Losensky and Sunil Sharma

Original:

دل رفت و آرزوی تو از دل نمی شود
دل پاره گشت و درد تو زائل نمی شود
مه می شود مقابل روی تو هر شبی
یک روز با رخ تو مقابل نمی شود
رویم زر است و بر در تو خاک می کنم
وصل تو کیمیاست که حاصل نمی شود
شد اشک من حمایل گردون ز دست تو
دستم به گردن تو حمایل نمی شود
بنشسته ام به غم که ز عشق تو خاستن
با آنکه جان همی شودم، دل نمی شود
دل منزل غم آمد و از رهزنان هجر
یک کاروان صبر به منزل نمی شود
خسرو در اوفتاد به غرقاب آرزو
چون کشتی مراد به ساحل نمی شود

Ḥallāj

You disappeared, but not from my heart

and you became my happiness and joy

in separation, separation was separated from me

and became my presence in the unseen

For you are the hidden secret of my passion

In my heart, hidden deeper than fantasy

You are my friend in the light of day

and my companion in the darkness

Original:

غىبتَ وما غِىبتَ عن ضميري

و صرت فرحتي و سروري

و انفصل الفصل بافتراق

فصار في غيبتي حضوري

فأنت في سرّ غيب همّي

أخفى من الوهم في ضميري

تؤنسي بالنهار حقا

و أنت عند الدجى سميري

Amir Khusrow


English Translation:
I have become you, and you me,
I am the body, you, the soul;
So that no one can say hereafter,
That you are someone, and I, someone else.

Orginal (transliteration):
Mun tu shudam tu mun shudi,mun tun shudam tu jaan shudi
Taakas na guyad baad azeen, mun deegaram tu deegari

Ḥallāj

I am He whom I love, and He whom I love is I

two spirits dwelling in one body

if you see me, you see Him,
and if you see Him, you see us.

Original:

أنا من أهوى و من أهوى أنا        نحن روحان حللنا بدنا

فإذا أبصرتني أبصرته        و إذا أبصرته أبصرتنا

Amir Khusrow

Khusrau raen suhaag ki, jaagi pi ke sung,
Tun mero mun pi-u ko, dovu bhaye ek rung.

Khusrau (the bride) spends the eve of her wedding
Awake with her beloved, (in such a way that)
The body belongs to her, but heart to the beloved,
The two become one.

Khusrau baazi prem ki main khelun pi ke sung,
Jeet gayi to piya moray, haari, pi kay sung.

I, Khusrau, play the game of love with my beloved,
If I win, the beloved’s mine, defeated, I’m beloved’s.

English Translation:
The creaking of the chain of Majnun is the orchestra of the lovers,
Appreciating its music is beyond the ears of the wise. 

Orginal (transliteration):

Naala-e zanjeer-e Majnun arghanoon-e aashiqanast

Zauq-e aan andaza-e gosh-e ulul-albaab neest

Translation:

If there is a paradise on earth,

It is here, it is here, it is here

Orginal (transliteration):

Agar firdaus bar roo-e zameen ast,

Hameen ast-o hameen ast-o hameen ast.
