mana ke paMChI bhaye baaMvare

My bird-like mind was amazed Such a Beena (Veena – an Indian string instrument) was played by my beloved. Every string has different melody To listen to which, every mind is bedazzled Such a Beena is played by Peer Nizami So, Khusro (the poet) says, let us all song in his praise! (This is a lyric by Amir Khusro, a celebrated medieval poet in whose poetry Sufism is reflected very well. Here the beloved means the almighty God, the bird is the soul and the instrument Beena with its strings is the human body. Amir Khusro has written this song in praise of Sufi mystic Peer Nizami.)
