kamar baandhe huye chalne ko yaha sab yaar baithe hai
bahut aage gaye baki jo hai taiyaar baithe hai
kamar baandhe

na chhed ae nakahate baad-e-bahari raah lag apni
na chhed ae nakahate baad-e-bahari raah lag apni
tujhe atkheliya sujhi hai hum bezaar baithe hai
kamar baandhe

tasavvur arsh pe hai aur sar hai paa-e-saaki par
tasavvur arsh pe hai aur sar hai paa-e-saaki par
garaj kuch aur dhun me is ghadi maikhar baithe hai
kamar baandhe

bhala gardish falak ki chain deti hai kise inshaa
bhala gardish falak ki chain deti hai kise inshaa
ganimat hai ke humsurat yaha do char baithe hai
kamar baandhe huye chalne ko yaha sab yaar baithe hai
kamar baandhe

Girded, we are, all comrades here, to tread,
The path ahead, where many have already sped.
Girded we are.

Do not tease, O gentle spring breeze, depart,
Do not tease, O gentle spring breeze, depart,
Your playful whims, we weary souls, impart,
Girded we are.

Our thoughts, the heavens, our heads at the Saqi's feet,
Our thoughts, the heavens, our heads at the Saqi's feet,
Lost in a deeper song, we seek a sweeter treat,
Girded we are.

Does the turning of the heavens grant peace to any soul, Insha?
Does the turning of the heavens grant peace to any soul, Insha?
A blessing, then, that here, a few, whole, reside, Insha.
Girded, we are, all comrades here, to tread,
The path ahead, where many have already sped.
Girded we are.
