بے کام و بے زبانم مست الست ہستم
بے نام و بے نشانم مست الست ہستم
Be Kaam o Be Zabanam Mast Alast Hastam
Be Naam o Be Nishanam Mast Alast Hastam
Without a palate and without a tongue, I am intoxicated with the Eternal Covenant,
Without a name and without a trace, I am intoxicated with the Eternal Covenant.
دردیکہ پاک زادہ یارم مرا بدادہ
ساقی بیار بادہ مست الست ہستم
Dard-e-Ke Paak Zaada Yaaram Mara Ba-daada
Saqi Biyaar Baada Mast Alast Hastam
My Beloved has granted me a pure and true spiritual pain,
O Saqi, bring forth the wine, for I am intoxicated with the Eternal Covenant.
ہم شاہ و ہم گدایم ہم وصل و ہم جدائیم
در دو جہاں دایم مست الست ہستم
Hum Shah o Hum Gadayim Hum Vasl o Hum Judayim
Dar Do Jahan Daayim Mast Alast Hastam
I am both the King and the beggar; I am in union and in separation,
In both worlds, I remain forever intoxicated with the Eternal Covenant.
من مرغ لا مکانم جز لا مکانم نہ دانم
بر تخت قدسیانم مست الست ہستم
Man Murgh-e-La Makanam Juz La Makanam Na Danam
Bar Takht-e-Qudsiyanam Mast Alast Hastam
I am the bird of the Realm of No-Place, and I know nothing but the Infinite,
Seated upon the throne of the angels, I am intoxicated with the Eternal Covenant.
شہباز شہ سوارم پرواز قدس دارم
آنجا شکار آرم مست الست ہستم
Shahbaz-e-Shah Sawaram Parvaz-e-Quds Daram
Aanja Shikar Aaram Mast Alast Hastam
I am the royal Falcon and the master rider; I possess a celestial flight,
From that divine realm, I bring my prey, for I am intoxicated with the Eternal Covenant.
