ਦਿਲ ਅਗਰ ਦਾਨਾ ਬਵਦ ਅੰਦਰ ਕਿਨਾਰਸ਼ ਯਾਰ ਹਸਤ।
ਚਸ਼ਮ ਗਰ ਬੀਨਾ ਬਵਦ ਦਰ ਹਰ ਤਰਫ਼ ਦੀਦਾਰ ਹਸਤ।
If the Heart Gets Wise
If the heart gets wise it finds the Beloved inside it.
If the eye can see, the beloved is everywhere.
He is to be seen everywhere, but where is the eye that can see Him?
On all sides there is the lightning-struck Toor and all around the flames alight.
(Mount Toor is a geographical location that was often struck by lightning)
If you have your head, take it as an offering to lay at His feet.
If you have life, sacrifice it on His altar, if need be.
If you have hands, go and catch the garment of the Beloved. O wayfarer
And walk the same way, if your feet have the pride of speed.
If the ear hears, what can it hear but the Name of the True Beloved?
If the tongue speaks, O Goya, in every word there is this assertion.
The Brahmin adores the idol, the Mullah prays at the mosque.
Wherever the cup pf love is going around, I have found them drunk.
Do not tread on the path of love without devotion, Mansoor hads taught thus.
Among the wayfarers of this path he is the forerunner.
Whatever you have, Sacrifice it for the Beloved.
Even if you have, like Goya, the talent that creates pearls.
