yaq-b-yaq saamne aana jana
yaq-b-yaq saamne aana jana
ruk na jaaye kahi dil ki dhadkan
ruk na jaaye kahi dil ki dhadkan
ruk na jaaye kahi dil ki dhadkan
koi samjhega kya raz-e-gulshan

gul to gul khaar tak chun liye hai
gul to gul khaar tak chun liye hai
fir bhi khaali hai khurchi ka daman
fir bhi khaali hai khurchi ka daman
fir bhi khaali hai khurchi ka daman

Who can fathom the garden's secret,
who can?
Unless your robes are snagged by thorns,
who can?

A sudden meeting, a fleeting glance,
a sudden meeting, a fleeting glance,
lest the heart's beat falter and cease,
who can?

The rose, the thorn, both have been plucked,
the rose, the thorn, both have been plucked,
yet still, the beggar's bowl remains empty,
who can?

How much adornment for the nest's embrace,
how much?
Lest intoxication shatter within intoxication,
who can?

The home's grandeur expands,
the home's grandeur expands,
shall I call the ice friend or foe?
who can?
Who can fathom the garden's secret,
who can?
Unless your robes are snagged by thorns,
who can?
Who can fathom the garden's secret,
who can?
