Beya ke borem ba mazar, mullah ma’mad jaan 
Sail-e gule lala zar, wah wah dilbar jaan 

Ali sher-e khuda dardem dawa kon 
Munajate mara peshe khuda kon 
Cheraghay roghani nazreta metom 
Ba harja aashiq as dardesh dawa kon 

Safar darad safar darad musafir 
Sare koh o kamar darad musafir 
Ba roye khana o baagh o zameenesh 
Hawa hai degar darad musafir 

Boro baa yaar bogo yaar-e tu amad 
Gule nargis khareedar-e tu amad 
Boro baa yaar bogo chashm-e tu roshan 
Aman yaar-e wafadar-e tu amad
