Amir Khusro: Burdún

Khusrau darya prem ka, ulti wa ki dhaar,
Jo utra so doob gaya, jo dooba so paar.

Couplet

Oh Khusrau, the river of love runs in strange ways:
One who jumps in is drowned, one who drowns, is saved

Burdún

A Khusrau, nach aisteach an cúrsa atá ag abhainn an ghrá.
An té a léimeann inti báfar é, an té a bháfar, raghaidh anonn.


[Irish & English versions: Gabriel Rosenstock]
