Bai Kinnein Boohey Tay Kinnian Barian Nein?

Of the city of Lahore, O’ let me know

How many windows and how many doors?

Naley Das Khaan Aothon Dian Ittaan

Kinnian Tuttian Tay Kinnian Saaran Nein?

Also tell me of the bricks’ state

How many lie intact and how many still disintegrate?

Daal Dus Khaan Shehr Lahore e Andar?

Khooian Kinnian Mithian Tey Kinnian Khaarian Nein?

Tell me, in Lahore, the number of salty wells

And also the number in which sweetness dwells?

Zara Soch Key Dewien Jawaab Meinoon

Aothey Kinnian Viyaeyan Tay Kinnian Kunvarian Nein?

Ponder hard, and return with my answer embedded

How many women are betrothed and how many still unwedded?

Daal Dassaan Mein Shehr Lahore e Ander

Bai Lakhaan Boohey Tay Lakhaan e Baarian Nein

Let me tell you now, in the city of Lahore

There are thousands of windows and thousands of doors

Jinnaan Ittaan Tay Tahar Gaey Paer Aashiq

O Heoon Tuttian Tay Baqi Saarian Nein

Bricks that felt the Lover’s footstep lay all broken

Others that did not lay intact, unawoken

Jinnaan Khooian Toun Paher Gaey Mashooq Paarrein

O Heon Mithi Te Baaki Khaariya Nein

Those wells alone that Lovers touched bore sweetness so divine

And those that shared not a similar fate remained ever saline

Daal Dus Khaan Shehr Lahore e Andar?

Khooian Kinnian Mithian Tey Kinnian Khaarian Nein?

Those seated alongside their lovers alone are truly married

And those with a destiny alternate have solitary tarried
