He never forgets me from his heart, 

I have seen him forget in a hundred ways. 

What can be achieved by any means, 
man is helpless due to fate 

You always kept delaying your arrival, 

I kept leaving and you kept coming with all your heart. 

He never forgets me wherever I go, 

oh what should I do, where should I go 

I cannot show my face to you out of shame, 

that is why my back is towards the sun. 

Let others’ work continue and we fail, 

what is our work in your government now? 

My friend’s sword is killing me,

it is the sword of swords, the speed of speed. 

It is foolish to search for anything, 

whatever is written on the forehead will have to happen. 

Life is the name of the lively, 

the dead live on nothing. 

I don’t take his name out of jealousy, lest someone hears it, 

I remember him in my heart. 

No one’s face matches yours, 

I roam around the world with your picture. 

You imprisoned me in your hair and killed me with your eyebrows, 

you did not listen to anything my heart said. 

He who says that fate is wrong is himself wrong, 

sometimes even the writing of fate may be wrong. 

How can I suddenly give up the thought of your hair, 

these black snakes have been kept for a long time. 

He is visible to me,

I am not visible to him in the dark at night. 

Though I don’t meet you, but due to the demands of my heart,

I come to your street a hundred times every day. 

Even after death I fear you so much 

I have not even raised my eyes to see any houris in heaven.
