mast nazron se Allah bachaaye, maah-jamaalon se Allah bachaaye har balaa sar pe aa jaaye lekin, husn-vaalon se Allah bachaaye
O God save us from the intoxicated glances! O God save us from the moon-faced ones Let any affliction come upon us [but] God save us from the pretty ones !

Don’t let their innocence fool you; don’t let them make you a fool they rob with just a smile, O God save us from their spells !

Innocent appearence and innocuous talk, but there is a difference between what they say and what they mean though their face is like that of moon, O God save us from the schemes of their hearts !

In the hearts there is a desire for beautiful companions in heaven, but they show their love of prayers [to the world]. Now, from the likes of the abstinent, O God save us from these Godly ones !

In their nature is infielity, it is known by all and sundry they beguile even the smart ones, O God save us from the innocuous ones !
