shaahaa ze karama bara mana-e daravesh negara

शाहा ज़े करम बर मन-ए दरवेश् नेगर
बर हाल-ए मन-ए खस्त ओ दिल रेश नेगर ।
हर चंद नियम लायेक़-ए बख्शायेश-ए तू
दर मन मनेगर बर करम-ए खेश नेगर ॥
Meaning
This is a khyal in Dari Farsi from a Khusrau ruba\'i. The translation is roughly as follows: O King, look with favour upon me who is destitute Regard my state of weariness and wounded heart However much I am unworthy of your mercy Do not look upon me, look upon your own benevolence
