ਅਜ਼ ਪੇਸ਼ਿ ਚਸ਼ਮ ਆਂ ਬੁਤਿ ਨਾ-ਮਿਹਰਬਾਂ ਗੁਜ਼ਸ਼ਤ।
ਜਾਨਾ ਗੁਜ਼ੱਸ਼ਤ ਤਾ ਜ਼ਿ ਰਹਿ ਦ ਦਹ ਜਾਂ ਗੁਜ਼ੱਸ਼ਤ।
The Eye Has Seen
The eye has seen the statue of indifference passing.
The beloved has gone this way and I have lost my eyes, forever.
All went black and the heart emitted sparks,
And I am like the smoke from the fire, rising to the high heavens.
A single dart brom the beloved's eyebrow is enough to be slain
Now there is no saving me, since the arrow has left the bow.
For even a moment, I did not realize myself and the path, Ah me!
whose life, the only treasure has all been despoiled.
He never pines for a stroll in the Seventh Heaven
Who lives, O Goya, in the joy of the Path he adores.
