taa.at meñ tā rahe na mai-o-añgbīñ kī laag
dozaḳh meñ Daal do koī le kar bahisht ko
ताअत में ता रहे न मय-ओ-अँगबीं की लाग
दोज़ख़ में डाल दो कोई ले कर बहिश्त को
طاعت میں تا رہے نہ مے و انگبیں کی لاگ
دوزخ میں ڈال دو کوئی لے کر بہشت کو
English Translation
So that, in obedience, the desire for wine and honey may not remain
Let someone take heaven and cast it into hell
