دل من اے دل من ایدل من
English title: O heart, my heart, O heart within my breast
دل من اے دل من ایدل منیم من کشتی من ساحل من
My heart, my heart, oh heart of mine —
My ocean, my boat, my shoreline.
اے میرے دل ، اے میرے دل ، اے میرے دل ، اے میرے سمندر ۔ اے میری کشتی ، اے میرے ساحل ۔
چو شبنم بر سر خاکم چکیدیو یا چون غنچہ رستی از گل من
Did you descend like dew upon my dust —
Or grow like a bud from my earth's crust?
کیا تو شبنم کی طرح میری خاک پر ٹپکا تھا یا کلی کی طرح میری مٹی سے اگا
