Manzil-i ishq az makàn-i dìgar ast
Mard-i ìn ràh rà nishàn-i dìgar ast
Bar sar-i bazàr-i sarràfàn-i ishq
Zìr-i har dàr-ì jawàn-i dìgar ast
Kushtagàn-i khanjar-i taslìm rà
Har zamàn az ghaìb jàn-i dìgar ast
Ahmadà! Tà gúm nagardì, hushyàr!
Kìn jaras az karwàn-i dìgar ast
Destination of love is from another dwelling
Man of this path has another attribute.
In the bazaar of those who understand the value of love
There is a different youth under every gallows.
Those slain by the dagger of submission
Each moment find a new life from the Unknown.
O Ahmad! Till you lose yourself, beware
Since this bell is from another caravan...
12th century mystic Ahmad-i Jam’s sang the following verses
Kushtagàn-i khanjar-i taslìm rà
Har zamàn az ghaìb jàn-i dìgar ast
Those slain by the dagger of submission
Each moment find a new life from the Unknown...
Khwaja Bakhtiyar Kaki ra was so overcome and enraptured by these verses that he fainted away. He died four days later while still in that state of ecstasy. His dargah (shrine) is near Qutub Minar, in Mehrauli, Delhi.
